Excerpt from Studies in the Bacteriology and Etiology of Oriental Plague IT is admitted on all sides that the Bacillus pestis is the real and essential cause of Oriental or bubonic plague, and consequently that the presence of this microbe in any material derived from a human or animal being denotes the disease plague in such a being. It is likewise ad mitted that a patient, although exhibiting one or more symptoms suspicious of the disease plague fever with swollen and inflamed subcutaneous lymph glands in one or the other region of the body, cervical, axillary, inguinal, or femoral, - need not necessarily be affected with bubonic plague, notwithstanding that such person might have been indirectly exposed to plague infection. Should, however, in such swollen inflamed glands the B. Pestis be demonstrated, epidemiologists and physicians would accept such a case unquestionably as true plague. It is obvious that should this be the case the relation of such a patient towards his surroundings would at once be vastly different from that in which a negative bacteriological result showed that the patient is not affected with that infectious disease, but is suffering from some other malady not requiring those stringent and costly measures that a case of plague requires.
