PANDEMICS.
Two Notable Ones That Devastated
the Old World.
A pandemic is an outbreak of dis
ease that attacks a whole nation or
group of nations There have been
several pandemics, hut two only are
recorded as standing out conspicuous-1
ly ns scourges of a particularly devas- 1
tatlng character ami the effects of
which were felt for many years after
they had disappeared. These were the
Justinian pandemic In the sixth cen
tury and tin* great pestilence of the
fourteenth century, later called the
black death. The long interval of
800 years intervened between these
two great pandemics of plague. Be
tween them were many epidemics of
plague in Europe. Asia and Africa,
some of which assumed more or less
pandemic proportions, but none reach
ed the dimensions of these two. The
origin of neither Is known, but In both
great commercial centers played a
prominent pan in maintaining and dis
tributing the infection. Tho Justinian
plague, which continued over fifty
years, first attracted attention by Its
outburst at Pelusium, which was then
an emporium for the produce of the
east and west. The e»demlc centers
of Mesopotamia. Arabia and Ethiopia
were in commercial relationship with
Pelusium. and it is probable that the
Infection came from one of these.
The great pandemic of the fourteenth
century was also associated with large
commercial centers, for it entered Eu
rope by the important emporiums and
marts situated tit that period on the
Volga and in tin* Crimea and which, as
pointed out by Craighton, were the
terminal marts of tin* northern cara
vans from China and the far east. It
should he mentioned, however, that
there were also the marts connected
with the trade routes from India. Tho
origin of the pandemic has been
ascribed to China and to India. The
Russian records place its starting
points in India. Clemow, in his work
entitled “Tin* Hoography of Hisease,”
point: out that plague prevailed in In
dia in 133'J and that probably the Rus-
s an* correct. Wherever
