Being a Public Health Microbiologist and Molecular Epidemiologist as well as a Genealogist, I have a strong interest in infectious diseases through the ages. Disease has played a part in social and family history with epidemics, archaic medical terms, medical discoveries. These have all impacted on our ancestors.

Poisoned Gas
London January 4
Extraordinary Incident in Factory
The Berlin correspondent of the "Daily Chronicle" states that an extraordinary affair occurred yesterday in a large chocolate box making factory in Berlin where 25 women who were engaged in sticking feathers on the boxes all suddenly fell senseless. Medical help was not available immediately but the fire brigade was summoned and with the help of fresh air and cold water the women were brought around. It is believed they fainted through the gum they were using generating poisonous fumes.
