Millions died, and historians es- timate that by the and or the cen- tury the disease had killed up to one-fourth of Europe's population, or possibly 26,001.00) persons.

In China another 13,000,000 per-- sons died in on outbreak at about the same time.

To this day the seeds of the

Black Death - bubonic plague — are scattered thmllih the world. Since 1N8 it is estimated more than 12.000.000.600 have died in In- dla. . But medical scientists believe they now have the means of sub- stantially reducing the chance plague ever will spread again over the globe.

As medical scientists piece toge- ther the puzzle. it may well have been there were t/Wo super-import- ant passengera aboard the 12th century war transports that tied up et on Adriatic sen. port.

One of these was Richard Coeul‘ do Lion. King of England. The other was s black. heady-eyed rat. a hitch-hiker. Nobody paid any attention to the rat. but he far outranked the lion - hearted king in influence on the destinies of men and nations.

The rat carried Pasteurella Pes- tls. Asiatic seed of the Black Death. As years passed, P. Peatls gradually expanded out of the Adriatic area until finally he burst

Bubonic Plague Ravaged

Years Ago

over the entire continent of lur- opo. . Some medical authorities soy the Black Death finally burned itself out because no susceptible victims remained.

Developed lsramurjty

When it returned in 1501 it ls es- timated only half of the populo tion become 'lll. One authority. the late Hans Zinsser. says each sue- cesslve wave became less destruc- tive of life because more people were immune.

All through the centuries man vaguely connected plague with rats. Dead rots were observed when the disease raged. But gen- erally it was believed the disease was Divine punishment.

It wasn't ui-iill around 1900 that it was definitely established that the rat or other rodent harbors the disease; the rat is bitten by n- flea; the flea then bites a man and transmits the plague to hiim. The disease in one form may be com- municated from men to man.

Plague doesn't kill the rat flee. but it causes congestion in his dig- estive organs. If he bites a victim

“sucking organs suddenly collapse and thus give the victim a “shot" of contaminated blood.

The U.S. Public Health Service says plague among rodents exists in imany places in the world today. Plague has been found in the U.S. as far inland as central Kansas. health officials say, but they have
