CONTAGION NOT INFECTION.
For many years the idea of infec

Congress of Hyglene, which held ita

that causes the occurrence of that
disease in a second patient. Much
used to be sald of infected places,
says the New York Herald. Swamps,
low ground or marshy surroundings
were thought to be the cause of dis
ease. The night air had a bad repu-
tation as a fomenter of illness of va-
rious kinds. Now we know that it is
the mosquito which directly carries
various diseases and acts as an inter
mediate host between one human vic
tim and another. In the same way
other carriers of disease have been
found. Flies, fleas, ticks, rats and
various forms of parasites are respon-
sible for disease distribution Even
among human beings certain individu-
als prove to be “carriers” of infectious
material. They may be insusceptible
themselves or have acquired immu-
nity from the disease, yet can convey
it to others when a com
municable disease it can be
raced to a preceding case with which
there has been contact either directly
or indirectly.

Dr. Wiley is right in his contention
that people dle too young. Human
life should be prolonged, and it can be

life in the United States is only about
44 years It should be much higher,
and probably will be hereafter, for
