A GOOD SUGGESTION E5;tor S,or Tho
horse disease is rapidly advancing towards us.
Would 1t not be we'll for those who have yalua-
BILE horses, used principally for pleasure to dis
pense with their use for q short time? To quar-
anime them entirely, by closing their stables
ana keeping their horses at home until the vIsi-
tation is over. This may not be effectual, but
II the disease spreads by Infection from one TO
anOther, and is not caused solely by a condition
OF the atmosphere common to a whole city, il
seems to offer the best chance of immunity at
least 10 those whose stables are isolated. NJ.
