That it is indeed an organism, a
germ, was learned only a few years
ago, the discovery being made almost
simultaneeusly in • the linited States
and, France, where epidemics had
drawn some of the best medical .ek,
ports in the two countries to study the
disease. Dr. Simon Flexner, of the
Rockefeller Institute, who is- a noted'
authority on the disease, says that it
is extremely doublul if the virus has
been seen. Certai ly the germ is ex-
ceedingly minute., The closest oh: •
servers have beeit able only to ob-
serve under the most powerful micro-
scope little points, Circular or slightly
oval in form, and these, possibly,
though not certainly, represent the
parasite. Another feature of the virus

In these respects it is even mon
robust than th.e virus of rabies. More- .
over, it shows no diminution in
virulence after having passed through
several, bodies. Experiments made: -
with monkeys showed that the germs •
after havinepassed through 25 sep-
arate series of Monkeys, were:. niore
powerful if 'anything than before. It
Is this fact that drove investigators to
the conclusion that the Virus is a liv-
ing organism; but, as stated, it is go '

Dr. Flexner says:
"The infectious agent enters the -
body chiefly, if not exclusively,
through 'the mucous membranes of •
the nose ' and throat. The virus ex-
iste in Ole secretions of the nose and
throat and in the intestines. Hence .

infected to other persons. Since the
disease attacks by preferenee young
children and infants whose nasal and

mother or nurse, the fingers of these
persons readily become contaminated. .
The' care .of other children by persons
with contaminated fingers may. there-
