DOCTOR GOT VITAL CLUE

By MONICA DICKENS

A FERRET with sick, tired eyes and misery in his] bones looked at the man standing over him, and then sud- denly sneezed-full in his face. Two days later the man went down with influenza, but, instead of cursing, he re- joiced.

That man was Dr. Stuart-Harris, a British`medical research| worker, and the ferret was one that had been infected with the human form of influenza through being injected with the virus! from a nick man's throat.

By that sneeze the animal gave the doctor the final clue forį which he had been searching in his months of research on the dis- case-how the 'flu germs are so rapidly spread.

Hal that ferret sneezed in a research's face two decades ago, the 20,000,000 victims of the 'flu epidemic at the end of the last war would have been spared.
