HEALTHY ANIMALS
MAY SPREAD DISEASE

The medical profession has known
for a long time that one OF the men
aces to which health is exposed is the
infectious material often carried and
unconsciously expelled by seemingly
healthy persons and animals, but the
true Importance of this fact has begun
to receive the wide recognition 1t mer-
Its only in recent years.
Today we know that many persons,
after recovery from typhoid fever, CON
tinue to discharge typhoid germs from
their bodies, and that such persons
cause numerous cases of typhoid fever
unless they are properly controlled,
and we know hat exposure to diph-
iberia, even when it does not lead to
the development Of disease, means that
the exposed individual often becomes
a carrier Of diphtheria germs, which
are located in his throat, a region from
which they are expelled in a way dan
gerous to the health of susceptible per-
sons. And we also know that this same
problem of seemingly healthy carriers
and disseminators of disease germs
must be given careful consideration
because Of its bearing on the health
OF our domestic animals.
The possibility that animals may be-
come persistent carriers Of disease
germs IS not limited to any one or any
kind of disease.
