Beware of Pets.

A series of experiments has con-
vinced one of the professors of Upsala
university that the danger to the COM
munity through the dissemination OF
disease germs by animal pets is Sc
rious. In one case whole family was
afflicted with tuberculosis through q
pet cat. A Professor Petit in France
voices the danger by appealing to
owners of pets to take special precau-
tions with animals whose health is not
good. Diphtheria is more easily cir
culated by the feline tribe than an
other disease.
