Many Types of Germs
Called StrePtococcus
BY DIR MORRIS FIsHBETN
! Editor. Journal OF the American Medical Association
and Of Hygeia. the Health Magazine

Editor, Journal OF the American Medical Association.
and Of HygeIa. the Health Magazine
The germ known as streptococcus used to be an ac-
quaintance Of doctors exclusively, but today few peo-
pie fail to have some knowledge Of this all-around
germ.
The streptococcus is not really just one germ, but a
wide variety Of germs possessing the one character
istic OF growing In chains. Under various conditions
Of growth. however, they change their nature and
bring about diseases Of different types.
It Is now generally conceded that a streptococcus
IS responsible for erysipelas and that mother strep-
tococcus causes scarlet fever. But scientists are not
yet agreed that these germs are in any way related
to each other or to any Of the numerous other strep-
tocci.
One group Of psychologists argues that all the strep-
tococci are related. and another says that they are
absolutely distinct.
Besides being associated with Erysipelas and scar
let fever. however, streptococci are found in sore
throat Of an epidemic type, in the kind Of fever that
attacks women In childbirth, in all sorts Of rheumatic
disorders and infections OF the heart.
AS evidence OF the fact that these germs are not
related. but that they have distinct qualities, a spe-
cialist points out that there are no records Of cpl
denies in which some patients had scarlet fever,
others e~rysipelas and still others both diseases.
There are very few instances indeed in which cry
sipelas develops as a complication OF scarlet fever.
Out Of almost $500 cases OF scarlet fever. there were
only six in which e~rysipelas appeared as a ~complica-
ton.
What Is known about these streptococci permits
scientists to study the nature Of live organisms.
1t is known. for example, that rheumatic fever, which
affects the hearts OF children, occurs rarely In Puerto
Rico, and that children with this disease tend to get
better in that climate.
Puerto Rican doctors point out, however, that the
streptococci there produce forms OF infection OF the
Joints. muscles. and the bones which are quite dis
~tinctive, and which probably are related to the fact
that the conditions in Puerto Rico for the streptococ-
CT differ from the conditions under which they live
in the temperate zone.
Gardeners know that the qualities OF plants vary &C.
cording TO the soil on which they grow. In the same
way. the qualities Of the germ vary according to the
kind Of human body in which IL grows

He watched her pick up a mag azine and idly skim the pages. If came to him suddenly that she was dressed for travelling. He realized that the long-dreaded moment had arrived.
 Philip is coming at S." she said without looking up. You will get the divorce as soon as pos sible?"
 You have decided?" There wal concern in his voice. "Yes. Really, John, had no idea you would be so upset. You are usually absorbed in your test tubes and smells" ! "Ann." he said gravely. ''I love you enough to stand aside = if ] thought Hughes an honorable man. But I don't"
 "How silly! You are hardly an impartial observer, are you?" she asked cruelty. There are some ugly rumors," he persisted. About Hughes and his expeditions, I mean. Leaving a companion alone in the arctic nS uldH was UylHSs AuH 5 patience was under a strain.
 T cannot see you wreck your life without-" Mister Hughes to see you, ma'am. Will I show his honor in?"
 | His honor is practically in now, Norah." A tall form loomed be- hind the maid. Hello, Ann. How are you, Williams?"
 "As well as could be expected" 1" said Williams drily.
 That will be all, Norah," re- proved Ann. The maid tore her eyes from the blond giant whose presence dominated the room and withdrew hastily. Williams mur- mured some conventional excuse and followed her out. l Ann, darling!" Two long, eager strides and his arms were about her slim figure. Everything all right?"
 "Of course, Philip" | They moved apart as her hus- band returned. John Williams walked across the room, a certain rightly compensating for his lack of inches.
 "I have ordered tea" he told them. "You will join me? Thank you"
 The tea things were brought in. They sat down. After all," unused Williams, stir ring mediatively, there's some- thing to be said for civilization. For example, it enables me to sit here and pretend that my world is not in ruins" Hughes smiled condescendingly, drained his cup, and grinned. Ann glancing at the mantel clock, hur-

 "You noticed it? It is quite odor- less and dissolves almost instantly in well, cream, for instance. But I'm afraid 1t is impossible to disguise the favor"
 Damn youi" Hughes said thick ly. "Tll " The toxicologist lifted his hand.
 "One moment" he said. He re- filled his cup from the earthen- ware teapot, then took a small brown bottle from his pocket. This" he explained, Sis the an- tidote." His wife relaxed somewhat but the explorer sat rigid, tiny beads of moisture on his forehead, eyes following every move Will Hams made. The latter poured the contents of the bottle a white powder-into his tea and stirred it vigorously.
 "All I have. But it's enough to effectually counteract the poison.
 "For one of you only" he added. There was a silence then.
 T think you are insane" said Ann, finally. Her face was pale but composed.
 | "On the contrary" disagreed her husband. "You see, for Hughes there can be no choice. You are perfectly safe, Ann, Right. Hughes?"
 The man across the table hardly heard him. He wet his lips continually: and his fingers, where they gripped the table, were blood less. Ann, following his gaze, saw that he was watching the cup. Sud- denly she knew and was filled with panic. Before either of the men could interfere she snatched and threw 1t on the floor.

Get Ann to your car while I phone '" But the intrepid explorer was on his way, hope reborn lending wings to his feet. Williams watched his wife with compassion. Outside a motor whirred. She drew a deep breath.
 "If it were not for the taste in my mouth I'd think 1t all a bad dream," she said, with a shadowy smile. "How long, John!"
 "A long time. Ann, can you for give mel" His arms were out. "You mean !'
 "That grand Mister Hughes flew out as if the divil was after him, ? said Norah to the cook. 'sFIer and him is in there lookin' like Patrick O'Donnell when he was squintin' down his gun sights at a black and tan"
 She dumped broken china into the sink and shifted. Queer goin's on! First, fill this bottle with bak- in sody, Norah,' he says. And Norah, put spoonful of salt in the tay.' Now it's q jug of wather. And they call the Irish crazy!"
