THE COST or vERauN.

Many popular beliefs on medical
subjects seem to be based on instinct
without any facts to Justify them. yet
increasing knowledge in new fields
frequently justifies opinions which
have been held for centuries. Rats.
mice. flies. mosquitoes and the various
forms OF body parasites have always
been held in contempt and disgust,
and always and everywhere have been
regarded a. vermin. Growing knowl-
edge Of the important role played by
these lower forms Of animal life in tho
transmission Of disease is ample justi-
ficatfon for this feeling. The atten-
ton which has been called to paraeitee
and scavengers Of the human race has
resulted in demonstrating another rea-
son why mankind has always abhorred
them. They are an exceedingly ex-
pensive luxury. The Journal of the
American Medical Association COM
ments on a recent article in the Farm
and Fireside, which discusses the
amount Of damage done in this coun-
try by rats. and estimates that there
are in the United States at least $780,
100000 Of these animals, alike de-
structive to property and dangerous

hundred million dollars worth Of
grain every year in this country, or

The annual cost Of rats to the nation
Is estimated at $360,00O,00O. In adj
dition. the rat population Of the coun-
try forms = fertile field for the dis
semination Of bubonic plague, which
only needs a starting point in any Of
our seaports to spread throughout the
country and cause the loss of thou

the Farm and F1reside, but in a DIFF
ferent department. appears an article
on the cattle-tick, in which 1t is esti-
mated that the difference between the
market value Of an animal free from
this parasite and ono infected with it
IL about IS per cow. and that the cat
tle-tick is today costing the stockmen
OF the country a billion dollars each
decade. or a hundred million dollars
each year. The discovery and develop
ment OF bacteriology showed that man
had been carrying on for centuries an
unconscious struggle with the lower
forms Of vegetable life. Recent addi-
tons to our knowledge Of the habits
and characteristics Of vermin show
that an equally relentless struggle has
been going on between man and the
lower forms Of animal life
