PROFESSOR OF HYGIENE IN THE UNIVERSITY OF MICHIGAN.
In an article on the plague in this journal, in May, 1897, the writer answered this question as follows: Yes, there is danger; but this, being foreseen, may be easily avoided. Thorough inspection of persons and disinfection of things from infected districts will keep the disease out of Europe and America. Only by the most gross carelessness could the plague be permitted to enter either of these continents.
