1t did not originate in England, but was
carried there by shiploads of cattle from the
Russian Baltic ports. If this theory is cor
rect, that they are imported cattle, it
should be prohibited by Congress, if not
otherwise.
No ship having COW or sheep, on arriv-
ing from Europe or countries having the
pest, should be allowed to land in America
without sufficient quarantine. Every disease
must at some time have originated from q
violent disregard of natural laws, but I am
OF the opinion that that there is nothing in
the management of cattle in England or
America to generate the disease. So also no
sanitary precaution can arrest it short of
absolute non-intercourse. believe it to be
a species Of bloody murrian aggravated BY
the marshes Of northern Russia and utter dis
regard of all laws of health which are shown
to man and beast, especially in regard TO
ventilation and cleanliness which prevail
IN these cold climates where great expendi-
ture ofheat is necessary and fuel and food
scarce. The same causes are producing
this that aggravate typhus fever here,
which is called outside Of Russia the plague.
Eng land was warned long time since
Of the danger of the importation of
cattle from Russia, but failed to heed the
voice. l trust our Country may be more
wise and more fortunate.
