SCIENCE IN
YOUR LIFE
Farmyard Fever
An important medical fact often
neglected by animal lovers is that
pets and other apparently harmless
animals can be a threat t® our
health, and even our lives. Medica.)
authorities estimate that people ca*i
OEJ
contract as many
as 80 diseases1
from animals or
animal products.
One of the com
monest and most
baffling of these
animal - trans
mitted diseases is
undulant fever or
brucellosis, often
carried by cows.
"There are few
diseases so destructive to both men
and animals,” asserts one medical
expert. In the U-S. alone, it has
wiped out $87,000,000 worth of
dairy products and veal calves in a
single year, and afflicted more than
10,000 persons.
In addition, thousands of other
brucellosis sufferers probably go
undiagnosed annually, medical ex
perts point out, for the disease can
mask itself under a variety of symp
toms, ranging from a general "run
down” feeling to personality disor
ders. It can even be confused with
such diseases as typhoid fever,
tuberculosis and malaria. Charac
teristically, the disease causes waves
of fever which rise and fall over a
period of months, and may prove
fatal to its victims.
Now proving effective in treating
brucellosis—particularly in its acute
phase—is the antibiotic drug Terra
mycin. Administered to patients in
an investigation carried out in Gua
dalajara, Mexico, the drug produced
prompt improvement in all the
acutely ill patients, restoring their
temperatures to normal within two
to four days after treatment.
Brucellosis can only be routed
once and for all, however, medical
experts assert, by wiping it out in
animals. To achieve this goal, a con
certed drive is now being launched
in various parts of the world. In the
U.S., rigid measures by veterinar
ians and public health officials have
already resulted in a decline in the
number of cases reported in recent
years. With persistent effort, the
day may soon come when brucellosis
is one of those rarities that only a
handful of oldtimers can remember.
The Leperchaun
By BOB KLEM
’Was a Gremlin, in the Dower
When I married Jessie Moore
Now he perches on my shoul
der
Helps me care for Jessie Moore
Perching hi up on my collar
So to whisper in my ear
Aye the rougish Irish rascal
Brings me mirth that brings me
tears.
Then my little Ego Gremlin
Imp of Elves and Leprechauns
Perches on the other shoulder
Here they stay from dark till
dawn
Am I plagued, or am I gifted
When I watch these spirits
flight?
Digging thru the ageless memor
ies
Of these ageless gremlin Sprites
So I nod before my hearth fire
Watch the flaming fire sparks
leap
While before my feet reclining
Old Carouse, my tomcat sleeps
Then down to this staged setting
There my vagrant Spirits go
There their pi ay and battle rages
Like the ebbtide to and fro
Boastful of the ancient glories
Basking in reflected fames
Now retelling ancient stories
Boasting of the ancient names
As the firelight lightly flickers
On my tomcat on the floor
Then I ponder had man ever
Heard the like of this before?
Hear and see adopted Gremlin
Quarrel with Ego natural bom
Saw them vanish in a whisper
When my tom cat yawned at
morn
Watched them in their staged
setting
Built between my tom cat’s
paws
Watched and pondered had this
setting
Basis in the ancient laws
Hear the ringing harp strings
singing
Past within the Tarra Keep
Then my eyes grow dim with
/ brimmings
Caused no doubt by smoking peat.
