Pets Dying
From Strange
Poisoning
Rat Poison Or Virus
May Cause Kidney
Infection OF Cats,
Dogs, Mr.. White Says

Four pets, three dogs and a cat,
are near death today as the result
of mysterious poisoning of the kid
neys, Mrs. George Mills White,
president of the Humane Society
said.
Keep your pets close to home
until we find out what is causing
the outbreak" Mrs. White said.
The affected animals have con-
tracted some infection either from
poison meant Tor rats or from a
virulent disease that may be going
around.
After consulting DR.. Paul Lam
drum, veterdrum, veterinarian,
Mrs. White said that until he and
other medical authorities find out
what it is that is poisoning the
pets, it is safest to keep them
home.
"Don't let them smell around
strange places" she said. ''If it is
rat poison, the cat or dog doesn't
have to eat it, he merely has to
come in contact with rat drop
pings, urine or hair to get the
poison"
If it is a viruIent disease, pet
owners must be equally careful,
for it is not known how it Is enter
ing their systems.
Symptoms of the poisoning are
absolute refusal to eat, extreme
weakness and vomiting.
The four affected animals are
hanging in the balance right now
as a result of the pisoning or dis
ease. It has been established by
DR.. Landrum that the poisoning OF
infection definitely comes from
outside the animasl' bodies, moi
from some internal weakness.
Until the cause is found, pet
owners must play safe and keep
their animals in the house or yard,
Mrs. White said.

Stephen Cochran Singleton, 81,

Keys to the outside world.
Singleton was a familiar figure
to the younger as well as to the
older generation in Key West and
on the Keys. With his one shaded
glass in his spectacle to cover the
lost eye, and his untrimmed beard
he presented a distinguished and
lovable figure to friends and
strangers alike.
