A famous Japanese professor, Dr. Kita- salo, raised the old question before the students of tropical mediting in the International Medical Congress recostly... Do rat fleas carry plague ? His answer was a very emphatic afirmativa.
Major Gian listen, another plaguekong, specialist of international route, told how he came to invent and devolop the zat-flea theory in 1904. He was "one of the disappointed hurters in Beanbay for ibe plague miccbe in soil," when ho happened to notice that certain specios d Beas readily took to other than their natural boat.
He therefore devised what he called gicca-pig fea-traps-guinea-pigs used to to attract Beus in plague-infected houses The fleas wero caught in the fur of the guinea-pigs, chloroformed, and azmined. Some of the guinea-pigs died at plague, and in the stomach of fena tha baelä woro observed to multiply. Then ho
found rot-feas on" men and arrived sh the conclusion-ch yet universally ac- captod by max of science-that the fleas were the culprits which conveyed the plague.
