Epizootic sphtha, the disease which is
causing so much distress among the cows OF
New York, Massachusetts,, and Connecticut,
came from Canada, and, according to Pro
tessor Law, is sort of eruptive fever, the
symptoms being hot mouth, costiveness,
lameness and tigntness of the skin. These
symptoms are followed by ulcers, which are
likely, although not certain. to result in
permanent injury to the feet and udders.
The milk then becomes diseased, and if
drunk by man produces similar disease in
him. The disorder lasts for fifteen or twenty
days. According to Mr.. Harrison, Secretary
of the New York State Agricultural Society,
TIE sickness Is rot new one, but was no.
tIced in Great Britain in 1889, when it,at-
tackled all kinds of stock, and even poultry,
cats, dogs and deer were affected by it. As
the malady is contagious, but not in infec-
tous, the first thing TO be done when it is
noticed is the separation Of the diseased
animals from the healthy ones; after which,
casbolic acid is to be freely used about the
parts where the symptoms appear.
