The South American Plague

By J. L. C.

ANTHRAX has a third victim in New York. This is the dreaded sheep and cattle disease of South America, but the virus may be brought to human beings by an insect. There is no remedy known to science. Within three weeks, according to a news item appearing in the public press Monday, October 11, three cases of this strange disease have come to the attention of physicians, and it is feared by some that a fatal epidemic may invade New York and its environs.
