520    This drawing depicts an undertaker during the Bubonic 
       (Black)ℓPlague in the 14th century. Unsure of how the 
       disease spread, many doctors took to wearing an elongated 
       mask and covering all other parts of their body, thinking 
       that if the disease passed through the air, they might 
       abstain from contracting it. It is now known that the 
       disease in fact transmitted by the bites of an infected 
       flea andℓalsoℓspread through the air, thus the covering of
       the mouth was not always sufficient to protect the wearer 
       from contracting the plague.ℓ
