. Plague, with the exception of the pneumonic form, which is rare, is believed to be caused entirely by fleas, which canvay it from rat. When a rodeat 'dies, the vermin leave the corpse and seek sustenance on the first warm body they can find. Though the white races may be less susceptible to the disease iban Asiatics, the comparativa immunity they en joy is due chiefly to cleanlier habits, and bat ter sanitation in their houses. The precau tions that foreigners can take, therefore, are limited to cleanliness, and the extermination of rats in their dwellings. The first step in take is to render houser, as far as possible, rat- proof. To this end ventilators near the ground should be ipipected to see that there are-no- openings large ocough to admit rats, and all rat- holes inside the bonis should be plastered up.
