America Infected From Rats

Because America was not discovered and
settled by Europeans until later. our west
ern continent escaped the ravages OF the
great medieval pests and scourges. But
with settlement and commerce, particular
ly when our Pacific coast ports began to
be thronged with shipping and sailors from
the orient-home of the plague from time
immemorial-the United States could not
and did not escape infection from what
became popularity known as rat plague
the dread bubonic plague. Besides the
ship-rat and the domesticated variety,
mice and the extremely prolific Cali
fornia ground squirrel were found to be
fruitful and dangerous sources of conta-
gion.
!. Surgeon General Walter Wyman Of the
United States public health and marine
hospital service says: Ancient writings
abound in illusions to p~estilences and their
connection with epizootics among rats and
mice. In the Book OF Samuel there is ref
erence to a pestilence having relation to
mice, and that is might be stayed, the
Philistines made offerings of golden i'm
ages of the mice that marred the land.
During the centuries that a interviewed
rats nave migrated to practically every
quarter Of the earth, causing untold losses
on account of their depredations. They
have also. in all probability. been the prf-
mary agents of transmission in the visi-
tations Of plague which nave visited the

Its ravages on the mainland being COM
paratively light by contrast.
AS In the cases of the plague and The
black death, the utter absence Of all SAM
tation on the part OF the people, rich and
poor, largely accounted for the various
outbreaks. OF domestic drainage or sew
erage there was absolutely none, either in
castle or howell. Every village had It's fes-
tering heaps of ordure. sometimes in the
main street stagnant and putrid water ac-
cumulated in pools everywhere. and the
sense of smell was assaulted by foud odors

felrly authentic. being borne out by local
records. The mortality OF Paris was 1900.
In Venice 100000. in Florence $4,000.
No doubt the frightful mortality largely
was due to the unsanitary n uncleanly
habits of the various peoples. Whatever

First Disease In History

The first diseaae about which history
tells us is the plague. That 1t appeared
and was recognized very early in human
annals is proved by the numerous refer
ences thereto in both the old and new
testaments, where ~plague. pestilence and
famine" are linked together as INSOFAR
able evils. These illusions also indicate
that the plague originally appeared in
those alluvial lands lying east OF the
Mediterranean in some portion of which
1t was practically always raging under
different names, such as "the pest 1.-The
great mortality" or "the great sickness"
Blu IT'S symptoms differed from those of
the black death, which was a distinct
disease, though equally deadly. The black
death never was known to revisit a once
stricken locality, while the plague
scourged the same districts again and
again.
~Thucydides, writing about 100 B. c.,
gives a dramatic account of the plague
in Athens-practically the first trust
worthy historical and particular mention
now extant. and possibly the earliest APP
pearance of the plague in Europe. That
1t had ragged for thousands of years in the
Levant, in Inula, in China and in Egypt
is also certain. In the latter country the
periodical overflow of the Mile and the
subsequent exposure to an ardent sun of
vast expenses of mud, sediment. ~decaying
vegetation. and bodies of drowned ami
mails was considered a fruitful source of
the pest. The 40 plaques of Egypt
which Moses invoked to cure Pharcah's
hardness of heart, were merely casual Wis
i~tations.
Marseilles lost half it's population in 1920;
Moscow. was scourged in It'll, Malta in
1913: the whole of Silesia in 1919; Bull
garia in 1s2s-29. the Russian army being
practically wiped out. Since 1s4l, however,
the medieval plague has not appeared
even locally in any European land, al
though there have been outbreaks of such
modern equivalents as the buboni plague.

The Plague of 1663-e5-

No city or country suffered more Sc
verely from the plague than London and
England in 1926. This visitation is
known to history and to literature as 1.-The
great plague Of London In the latter
city IT'S horrors ave baan portrayed by
such master writer's as Daniel Defoe in
his Journal of the Plague" and by Har-
rison Ainsworth in his 'Old st. Paul's."
While all England was more or less af-
flicted, London felt the full force of the
epidemic. nearly 10000 souls being swept
away. September was the most fatal
month. Only the coming of cold weather
and the subsequent drastic and wholesale
purifying of the city by the great fire Of
1866 finally stamped out the scourge.
There again h plague differed from the
black death. as ordinary low temperatures
apparently failed to check the ~latter's
Medical science has failed to exactly
Identify The plague with any Of the mod
ern virulept epidemics, such as typhoid,
cholera. or the bubonic plague. It was a
most malignant contagious fever. its
symptoms including a swelling of the lynn
phatic glands. carbuncles. and skin erup-
tions, the victims being liable to be at
tackled again and again. The period Of
incubation after exposure to infection last
ed from two to seven days. marked by
lassttude, drowsiness, and general debil-
ity. Then followed violent chills, head
ache. vertigo. vomiting. high fever, de-
lirium, stupor. Inconsistencies, convul-
sions and death from heart construction,
In rare cases there was convalescence and
ecovery brought about through stimuia-
ton and nutritive support. There was nc
other known remedy or cure. although
quack medicines abounded by the hun.
dreds.

Many Theories as to Origin

The name Sweating sickness was de-
rived. in the quaint language of the time,
because 1t did most consist in sweating
from the beginning until the endynge,"
and because 1t first beganne in Englande
1t was named In other countries the Eng
lyshe sweat" 1t was also known as 1.-THE
pestilence sweat" and 1.-The English ephe.
mera." The symptoms of the attack be-.
gan with fever and intense pains in the
back. loins. shoulders and limbs: then
came lushes of heat. oppression in the
abdomen, headache. delirium, palpitatton
Of the heart, drowsiness, coma and death.
Occasionally prOfuse sweating set in mid
way, which In some cases led to conval-
escence and ecovcry Those stricken were
liable to one or more relapses.
Nearly all those infected died, and the
consequent mortality was appalling.
Scarcely one in 100 that were attacked es-
capped with life. but where death did not
result in "a hours the danger from that
attack ceased. and epidemics rarely lasted
more h 30 days. 1t was called ia rheu-
matte fever I'm the most exquisite form
that has ever been seen yet in the world
others claimed that it was a form Of in
fiuenza or catarrhal fever, while DIR. Guy
defined 1t as being OF a malarial nature,
an ague with short febrile and sweating
stages. often malignant and fatal in the
first or congestive period. The treatment
consisted Of rest. blanketing. warm air
and warm drinks to promote and hasten
perspiration. Though the patients suf-
fered untold agonies from internal fever
and burning pains, anything in the shape
of refrigeration. either by cooling drinks
or bandages. brought on immediate COL
lapse and death.

That the disappearance of the plague
from Europe is due to improved santa
ton and personal hygiene cannot be
doubted. Fortunately. there is now little
prospect that the western world will ever
again be desolated by any such deadly
visitant as the great plague. But modern
scientific study n research concerning
plague infection prove conclusively that
all such disorders are spread by rats. 1t
Is an accepted axiom that where rats go,
plague will go. Mice and ground squir-
rels also may be blamed. In the case OF
rats especially it is we'll known that ships
are, and have been from time immemorial,
infested with these vermin. The tracks of
all great medieval epidemics are known to
have followed the then-existing water
routes OF trade and travel. Modern ex-
pertence with the bubonic plague proves
the same thing
The domestic or ship rat carries the in

there is any attempt at scientific santa

quarantine or OF destruction. relentless
war against rats and ground squirrels is

century, when Europe was plague-ridden,
dogs and cats were also popularity recog-
