WILD RABBIT FEVER
WARNING ISSUED BY
KERN AUTHORITIES
BAKERSFIELD, March 25.
(Exclusive)—Danger of infection
with tularemia from wild rab-
bits was cited in a warning is-
sued today by Dr. M. A. Gifford,
assistant health office of Kern
county, who said that two such
cases have been recorded in the
last three months here.
Both cases arose from the same
rabbit, she said, the hunter hav-
ing pricked his finger while han-
dling it and his sister contract-
ing the fever while preparing it
for the table.
