INTERFERING WITH EATS.
(To the Editor.)
Sir, —Will you allow me to voice a thought through your paper as one who feels deeply the necessity of ordinary precautions regarding the dread scourge which threatens our shores? To be brief: it is through the rats- that the plague is introduced, is it not at great risk that men and boys catch and handle them? Surely ij* is one way of encouraging, rather than preventing the dreaded pestilence. Would it not be wiser to leave the natural scavengers provided by nature to their own element than to exposp persons to the danger of infection through handling the diseased ani« mals?—Yours, etc., ,
HUMANITY.
