Research workers at the labora-

DR.. Philip was sent to Alaska by the
federal government to gather sticks to
determine the nature and distribution
of Rocky mountain spotted fever virus

Most of the rabbits were killed in the
vicinity of Fairbanks. It was in this
section, DR.. Philip said, that they were
found to carry the most ticks in their

to the rabbits nose. He used a small
