board of health from William Bartals
Co., animal importers, of New York
The three words told that temporarily
the supply of monkeys is exhausted.
and that before any more orders in
this country are filled, new supply
must be brought from India or Africa.
AS a result of the brief message, the
work of the state board in the expert
ments relative to infantile paralysis is
for the time being suspended and the
experimenters must bide their time
until more simians are received. The
rhesus is monkey of the Indian
species and in his native home is held
sacred.
