B8 DENY QUARANTINE | (e omerers ] ON CANARY BIRDS Officials Explain There Is No, Evidence Parrot Fever Orig- | inates With Pets. While cases of parrot, fever apparently have been definitely associated with sick canaries and love birds, the United States Public Health Service is loath | to apply any quarantine restrictions to | these popular household pets without | further evidence, it was stated today. There is no evidence at present, Dr. ‘W. F. Draper, assistant surgeon general, explained, that the psittacosis organism originates with these birds. In both cases they have apparently been in- fected with the disease while assoclated with sick parrots in a pet shep. Many of the canaries sold in the United States are hatched here and have had no opportunity to contract the disease. At this time, it was explained, the business is at its height and any wholesale restrictions would cause | enormous loss to dealers without sound | Justification. | While it has not been decided what action to take, it was indicated that the Public Health Service probably will | ‘wait on more conclusive evidence before | applying a quarantine. The public has | been so well warned by this time, it | was explamned, that most persons will be very cautious about coming in con- tact with a sick bird of any kind until the present outbreak dies down. The condition of Dr. Charles Arm- | strong, bacteriologist of the hygienic laboratory, who contracted the disease while attempting to isolate the organ- ism, remained hopeful today. Injec- tions of “convalescent serum” from the blood of patients in Baltimore who are recovering from the disease apparently | brought about a considerable improve- | ment in Dr. Armstrong’s condition.
