CONQUERING BUBONIC PLAGUE
IN THE PHILIPPINES

PECENT discovery of a. number OF
~ Isolated cases cf the bubonic
plague in the United States lends in
terest to a bulletin of the National
Geographic Society describing how
the disease was conquered by the
American Medical authorities in the
Philippines.
'The United States drove the bu-
bonic plague out of the Philippines
as completely as swept the yellow
fever out of Cuba" says communi-
cation to the Society.
"Bubonic plague was discovered at
Manila December &c, 1899, and slow
ly but steadily increased up to Dec
ember 1901.
''The deaths in 1900 numbered 1919
and in 1901 reached total of 432.
The disease was at it's worst each
year during the hot dry months of
March, April and May, nearly or
quite disappearing during September,
October, November, and December,
1t will be noted that the number of
cases in 1901 exceeded that in 1900
by 200, while the number of deaths
was about two and a half times as
great, and the percentage of mortal
ity among persons attacked increas-
ed from 1874 in 1900 to 91.7 in 1901.
"On account of the important part
which house rats are known to play
in the distribution of bubonic plague,
a systematic campaign was inaugur-
ated against these rodents in Manila.
Policemen, sanitary inspectors, and
specially appointed rat-catchers were
furnished with traps and poison, and
both traps and poison were distribut-
ted to private individuals under pro-
per restrictions. A bounty was paid
for all rats turned over to the health
authorities, and stations were estab-
lished at convenient points through
out the city where they could be re-
ceived. Each rat was tagged with
the street and number of the build
ing or lot from which it came, was
dropped into a strong antiseptlc So
luton, and eventually sent to the
