which appeared under circumstances
which made the louise carrier hypothe-

doubt that this American typhus was
spread by fees which infested the pod

This discovery did not prove, however,
that it might not be carried oy pooy

The procedure was to infect a monkey
with the American typhus, place some
lice on its body and later to transfer
them to a healthy monkey. II the lat

controlled conditions of the laboratory,
it would be proof that the disease could
be transferred from human to human
by this form of carrier.
Having decided on this procedure, 1t
was necessary to have a plentiful sup
ply of the insects. Those that attack
the human body are very discriminating
feeders. They thrive on the blood only
of men and monkeys. They will feed on
the common laboratory animals, rab-
bits rats and guinea pigs, but such a
diet is soon fatal to them.
Dr.. Dyer tried to raise colony on
monkeys, but the animals wouldn't
stand for it. They refused, by Methods

increase. The only alternative was to
pasture the flock on a human being
