Although a new disease of man, tularaemia has now been recognized In forty-three States of the United States, in the District of Columbia, Canada, Japan, Russia and Norway. November, December and January have been the months of onset for the majority of the cases occurring oast of the Mississippi River, result - lug from the dressing of wild cotton- tail rabbits for food. These mouths. embrace. the -"open season" when, owing to the relaxation of the ;ame laws, the hunting of cottontail rab- bits is generally permitted, and, con- sequently, these rabbits are then of- fered for sale in great numbers in the markets. As a rule, when the !nfeetion has come from a rabbit some injury has been inflicted on the hand, although a manifest injury is not necessary for infection to occur. Usually an ulcer develops at the site of infec- tion, accompanied by enlargement of the lymp glands which drain the ulcer. Fever is always present and continues for two to three weeks. The primary lesion may be located on the eyelid or on parts of the body other than the skin of the hands, if due to tick bite or fly bite. The diagnosis is confirmed by a blood test. Ono attack of the disease con- fers immunity in man from further attacks. There is no special treatment for this disease. Rest in bed is the most important measure. No pre- ventive vaccine or curative serum has been perfected, nor has any special drug been found effective against tularaemia.

New Disease -- Tularaenia Contracted Through the Handling of Wild Game According to recent reports reeeiv- ed by the U.S, Public Health Ser- vice, an unusually large number of oases of Tulareamia are occurring this winter in a Special article issued by this service. We read. Tularaemia is a disease caused by a germ which is found In nature, principally in certain infected rod- ents. Tularaemia was discovered by Dr. Edward Francis of the Public Health Service. Wild . rabbits are the main source of infection of this disease. Among wild rabbits tul- araemia is a very fatal disease. hien sometimes eont.raet this'disease from handling rabbits. Hunters who dress rabbits, or cooks who prepare them for the table, are very frequently in- . fected wiht tularaemia if the rabbit has this disease. A few cases have been contracted from such unusual sources as the skinning or dressing of woodchucks, muskrats, opossums, skunks, coyotes and tree squirrels. The three chief sources of infec- tion with tularaemia are tick bite, fly bite and the dressing of wild rab- bits, Cases of the disease have ac- cu'rred in the United States in every month of the year.

From that time the dog made the churchyard his home, every night for eleven years arid three months.
