come infected while cleaning q rab-
bit II may appear az the point OF
the bite made BY a woodtick or q
deerfly.
From two days TO a week passes

BY this time chilis and fever have
developed. There is also aching
throughout the body. with loss OF
weight. prostration. and sometimes
delirium.
The acute stage OF the illness lasts
from w 10 four weeks. During
this time the site or the original

become swollen and may even sup
purate. There Is considerable fever.
Following the attack there is slow
