CONTAGIOUSNESS OF PHTHISIS. A man of thirty-four had been sick with phthisis about four years; gradually grew from bad to worse, until the usual end was reached. It was not until the last three four or months of his life that he was confined to his bed. He was fond of pets, and during these three or four mouths, it was hia fancy to have his dog in the room nearly all the time. The animal would jump on the bed with his master, and there often slept, near the mouth that was giving out the poisoned air, thus breathing that which should be most avoided. It was not long before the dog began to show signs of starvation, noticeable even to the sick man. The pet's food was looked after, but no change in the condition. Gradually the animal grew worse, and in less than a month after the master's death, the faithful canine had to succumb to the waste and cough.?Man/land Med. Jour.,2nd November 1889.?
