Cats Under Suspicion | Most ‘Agnes Repplier has written a book in praise of the cat There is some criticism in it for Tabby, but Miss Repplier, in common with most unmarried ladies—if the tradition be well founded—is fond of cats. And now as an eloquent criticism on the book comes the word that cases of infantile paralysis has been found among cats in Springfield, Mass., and that the cat must be studied as the possible source of this deadly and mysterious disease. It i quite possible that the cat will be found not only unnecessary, but far from harmless. If we can thereby get rid of infantile paralysis we can easily spare cats. Cats have been suspected of acting as carriers of scarlet fever and diphtheria. Passing as they do secretly from house to house, they are open to all sorts of suspicions Rats catry the fleas which infect people with plague. So do ground squirrels and other wild rodents It is from these animals alone that we are threatened by the “Black Death’—bubonic plague—which, is menacing us from both shores in every ship that lands. The Rocky Mountain “spotted fever,” which has been t by the U. S. Public Health Service for two years, and of which Dr. McClintic died the other day, a-martyr to his work, ig communicated to human beings by the wood ticks by which todents are infested. There seems to be no reason to let the cat off scot free on this disease until it is shown to be free from ticks. And the Rocky Mountain spotted fever is almost as bad a disease as bubonic plague. Scientist Brings Hope With a glow of hope, the medical world and the long-suffering greeted the announcement, two years ago, of Prof. Paul riich’s wery of his marvelous remedy, called “606,” or “salvarsan.” The world was full of hopeless sufferers with the loathsome dis- @ase at which the German savant aimed a final blow. Thousands of were prepared to destroy themselves, rather than fight against the ancient ailment. Just when gloom was deepest, along came the greatest scientist since Louis Pasteur with a drug that required over six ired jong, tedious chemical experiments before it was evolved. Hence one of its names, “606.” Bat the hope that sprang in the physician's and his patient's breast was short lived. The dramatic cures reported by the tens of thousands immediately upon injecting salvarsan into the human blood stream turned out to be will-o’-the-wisps. The sudden disappearance of the symptoms were apparent, true @nough. The patients seemed to be at once entirely sound and well, But soon the observant surgeons in the hospital clinics began re- porting one relapse after another. The medical men, reluctant to Tealize the lack of permanency in the treatment, were forced finally to admit that, while Ehriich's salvarsan killed off most of the terrible germs, yet after a little while, in some cases a few months, the malady manifested itself once more What was to be done? scorn. .
