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.
