PAGE SIX MEDFOBD M3IL TRIBUNE. MEDFOBD, OREGON", FRIDAY, MAT 18, 1934. Mary Kelly Interviews Fever Discovery Heroine An Interview with Alice 0. Evans, senior bsoteriologl.t with the Nation al Institute of Health, appeared In the Washington (D. c.) Poet, written by Wary Orelner Kelly, formerly a member of the Mall Tribune ataff. The storv, with a full-page banner, la acompanled by a three-column p:e- tura of Mra. Evana, The article, concerning Miss Evana' discovery of the germ of undulant lever, by contracting the dread dla eaae herself, la of Interest locally, be cause of the subject matter, as well aa Mrs. Kelly's writing. The Inter view follows: (fly Mary Grelner Kelly.) Sparring with death so othera might live! To this nobis end has the ca reer of Mlsa Alice 0. Evans, senior bacteriologist with the National In stitute of Health, been dedicated, Mlsa Evans' casual discovery of Un dulant, or Mediterranean fevor, rock ed tho scientific world In 1023. Pre senting humanity with a key to safe guarding Ha health against a dread disease, she lost her own for all time by succumbing to It. Caught It Herself. Lack of health, however, has not deterred this oourageous scientist from forging ahead In her chosen field. Becoming Infected by Medit erranean fever germs she was study ing 10 years ago, she has nover fully recovered from the strange, recurring disease. It ha returned,, like a spec ter, to cloud her dreams' and waggle finger In the face of her achieve ments. There Is, however, nothing of tho martyr about Miss Evans. The cause of her Illness la one thing she will not discuss. It was her associates at the Institute who told of her sac rifice. Pressed for more data, ahe smiled and dismissed the question. "That was nothing. It is all in a day's work. Scientists expect those things." But her associates consider ner iu year slngle-bsnded fight against such odds unusual, even In a scientist. They remember her valiant battle against the slow, debilitating waves of pain that cnaracterlre this peculiar fever. They remember that In spite of It ahe has gone ahead uniunon ingly along the progressive path of science. Before Miss Evans' discovery of un dulant fever as a distinct entity, It was diagnosed and treated as typhoid or other fevera. Studying Streptococci. Now it Is the classification of atrep tococcl that consumes her time and energy. Thla Is the bacterium found In scarlet fover, erysipelas, childbirth fevor and aeptlo sore throats. It may take years to find out what she Is alter. When ahe discovers It, she will pass calmly, lnausplclously, on to the nest problem. For that's the way of the scientist, ' But what are the effects of Mlas Evans' undulant fever discovery? The rigid tightening up on milk pasteur ization by health officers the country over la one. For It Is through raw milk the germs of thla Insidious die. ease are moat easily conveyed. A more definite understanding of the disease Is another. Diagnosed and treated as "slow typhoid" or malaria esses, many undulant fever patients died in the paat. "In the future," aayt Miss Evans, "If there seems to be an increasing number of caaes, It will be only be cause those, heretofore confused, will be classified correctly aa undulant fever." Blooded goats, Imported from the Mediterranean, first brought the dis ease into the United states. Perfectly healthy themselves, their milk wna found to carry the bacteria of the fever, prevalent in their native coun try. The slow fever spread from tho southwestern part of the United States, where the goats were pur ohased, to other sections of the coun try. At the same time, a peculiar disease, known as "contagious abor tion" or Bang's disease, existed In cattle. Bacteriologist the world over had attempted tor years to connect Bang's bacillus with the bacillus which through goate' milk caused the Med iterranean fever In man. Wins Her Point. After years of study on the part of the most eminent scientists, the con clusion was reached that the Bang germ and the Mediterranean fever were different organisms. It took America's Alice Evans to demonstrate" the germs were twin brothers, She proved, In spite of their alight differ ence in microscopic contour, they could and did produce the same dis ease undulant fever. Was It a hunch? It was more than that. She had thought often about the "alow fever" In man that doctors had been In the habit of calling ty phoid. She had worked in the Bureau of Animal industry for several years on the bacteriology of milk. Her mind speculated upon the two milk organisms. She decided to study them Intensively, thoroughly. Then came an Interruption the war. She was transferred by the Public Health Service to Ita hygienic laboratory, to do "her bit." She undertook a program connected with serums, antitoxins and analogous products, used by the overseas forces. Hostilities ended, she went back to the problems that Intrigued her the study of tho two milk organisms. Do ing about the thing systematically, she collected strains of the organisms from all over the world. In her tests, she found the two germs are Indis tinguishable by ordinary bacteriolog ical methods. Their differences arc detected only by the use of compli cated and tedious tests. This gave her the clew. She dls covered the Bang germ in cows, and the Mediterranean goat milk germ produced undulant fever. Immediately her observations were confirmed excitedly by research ex perts the -world over. Her discovery was pronounced one of the most out' standing In the field of medical sol' ence during the past quarter of century. But Miss Evans did not rest back on her laurels. Incapacitated for months by the first big attack of the fever ahe had contracted, she camo quietly back to her laboratory and took up the next aclentino prooicm awaiting her. 1 Tasty Recipes Petlts Napoleon 18 Honey Maid graham crackers, a tablespoons butter. 4 bananas.
