Yale authorities split on kissing spread of consumption
Special to The Washington Post from New Haven Conn Oct.

Prof William J Brewer says if kissing were common he would stop kissing. Dr Charles A Lindstey notes kissing has existed since Adam and Eve and cites danger only in close contact with incipient cases, suggesting cheek kissing poses less risk while direct mouth contact could transmit germs.
