To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Experiments were made in which two similar animals monkeys, guinea-pigs, or rats the one protected by gauze or sticky paper, the other not protected, were placed in suspected houses. Of 92 experiments, 15 unprotected animals died, none of the protected. On 96 occasions fleas taken off guinea-pigs which had spent the night in a suspected house were transferred to a healthy animal. In 26 cases the second animal died from plague, although not infrequently the guinea-pig from which they had been re...moved escaped infection. The conclusion that in a plague-infected house the infection is due to- infected rat fleas, and not to an infection of the soil or the air, seems to me abundantly justified. Fleas as tJie Agents of Transmission from Rat to Man. In considering how far the results just detailed can be- applied to man we enter at once upon less secure territory, because it is impossible to put conclusions to the test of experiment. The only measure of the correctness of such an interpretation is its adequacy to interpret all the known epidemiological facts concerning the spread of plague.
