Disease
At a meeting OF the Board of Health, held yester-
day afternoon, report was received from the SAM
tary Committee upon the present epidemic among
horses Doctors Cecarn and stephen Smith have
made thorough examination OF the disease at all
points OF the city, and they report that it is epi-
demic, not contagious and not necessarily fatal.
They consider it mild pneumonia or influenza,
and the course Of 1t appears to be
general dropping of the animal, accom-
panied by cough and fever, with q slight
discharge from the nostrlls on the first day: on the
second an aggravatiOn of the symptoms is Observed
on the third the climax arrives; on the fourth an
Improvement takes place and on the fifth the animal
Is convaescent. The lungs are not hurt and the
air passages alone are Influenced. The treatment
in vogue and apparently the most effective is mus
tard plasters over the throat and chest, or ap-
plicaton OF hartshOrn TO those parts; internal
remedies-such as aconite and nitre-are used by
some or the owners OF horses, but these latter do
not appear to produce any strong effect. All that
is really necessary Is warmth and care together
with close attention TO the bedding OF the
animals. Nothing should be done in the
stables that would irritate the glands Of the throat
and increase the cough. The ply slcians stated
TO the Board that although all the horses employed
ut the rendering dock were suffering from the dis
ease no death had yet occurred, nor had any
OF horses that had died from the disease
yet been brought there. The Board will enforce
strict sanitary measures for the government OF all
stables and, II the epidemic does not considerably
decrease to-day, Quarantine regulations will be In
PRODUCED 10 the worst localities.

In Newark.

As there Is very extensive traffic between
Newark and New York, hundreds Of teams going
daily from one place TO another, 1t Is matter to
be expected that the horse disease would find its
way into the equinial quarters OF the first-named
city. On "Wednesday few cases were reported,
but none Of a serious nature. Yesterday tour
among the stable men and others having numbers
OF horses revealed the fact that the epizoOtic Is
spreading and with alarming haste. Those OF the
manufacturers who suffer most are the brew
crs, Of which there are many In Newark,
some carrying on very extensive trade.
Schalk Brothers, the leading brewers Of Newark,
have several horses suffering. Lester Brothers,
bone pulveriZers, have twelve horses and num-
Der or mules suffering. 1t il noted as curious
fact that the mules seem TO suffer most. Wacken-
ruth, Adams X Co., brewers, corner OF Chatham
and Orange streets; the Newark Brewing Com
pany and other brewers are said 10 have many sick
horses on their hands. In Niagara street dealer
In produce has two line animals very sick. Erb.
the livery stable keeper In William street, has
several that cough severely but he thinks they
only suffering from colds. Wednesday afternoon
Mr.. Herman. OF Elizabeth, had four valuable horses
stricken down, and that night gentleman,
OF Newark, attended to them, doctorng them for
lung disease, and now they are reported improving.
The Newark horse car companies state that their
beasts have AZ yet shown no symptoms OF being
infected.

IN NEW JERSEY.
In Jersey City.

Many Of the stable owners yesterday discovered
that large percentage OF their beasts had fallen
victims to the contagion. Messrs. Fuller, Matthie-
sen 4 Wiecher, Gautier, Dodge and others were
among the first gentlemen who discovered the out
break oil the disease Upwards OF one hundred
and fifty horses have been attended bv veterinary
surgeons In all parts OF the city. So lar no fatal
cases are reported.
The New York herald. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1840-1920, 1872-10-25

the 'epizootc' continued to spread its poison
through the various stables yesterday. Precau
tons were taken on extensive SCALE but with
out any apparent effect. Mr.. b. N. Cranes stable
contained twenty-five affected horses, Mr.. West
colt had thirty stricken, Jacob Schmidt found
ten sick. Mr.. MaOn three, and several persons
owning one or two beasts report their quadrupeds
suffering. The best judges In Hoboken seem 10
think that purgatIve and good rest constitute
an enectual remedy.
The New York herald. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1840-1920, 1872-10-25

surgeon practising on the island informed the re-
porter that to bleed horse suffering from the NAL
ady was mistake that would in nine cases out OF
ten, prove fatal, as II would only tend TO further
weaken the patient lie thought il good treatment
10 keep hot mashes constantly under the horses
nose as the steam arising therefrom would relieve
the cold; to keep perfectly clean and deodorzc the
stable and not TO "hitch upi' directly the disease
began to eyanesce.

In Elizabeth

the disease is beginning to show itself. On Tues
day night DR.. Green had two horses taken with 1t,
and Mr.. J. {. Van Fleet has two or three that ex-
hlbit the first symptoms. Herman Clark's stables
had a case, but il was Immediately removed. The
stables OF the horse railway company were free
from disease yesterday, but how long they will re-
main so IL yet to be seen. Mr.. H. II. PiexOtto has
horse sick with the disease, and DIR. Bailey's horse
Is reported to have been taken with it.

The Draymen's Dilemma.


The 6raymen Of this city are doubtless the keen
est sufferers by this calamity, which has deprived
the public of the services for the time being OF
many thousand beasts OF burden. They are mostly
in very moderate circumstances, and depend for
their daily bread upon the earnings obtained by
means Of their carts or trucks and their horses.
When the latter are disabled their source OF sup
port ceases and their fortune Is jeOpardlZed. The
great firms OF merchants cannot wait the ship
ment OF their goods, but must employ others IL
they can 70 transport them to the railroads and
steam6rs, and thus, while attention to the diseased
animals h draining their pockets, the cartmen are
making nothing TO meet their expenditures and
much distress might be the result.
In this present case, however, the calamity IL so
widespread and so serious that very few master
cartmen have horses ft for labor, and those which
they have are not more than equal TO the perform
anGe OF their own business that they gain moth
ing pecuniArily by their neighbours misfortunes.
Yesterday few OF the large commercial houses
were there down town that were not embarrassed
by having no way OF sending of the goods which
they had sold to country customers. The old
fashioned, crooked and busy Streets therefore,
were quieter than for many years, and trade was
by no means brisk.
The stables occupied by the horses OF these dray-
men ore almost all infected more or less with the
malaria OF the epihppic and scarcely any horse OF
this class can be found that Is not hOrs de combat,
without intending any pun. About six thousand
or these beasts sick out OF the 5000 in the city
The treatment which they receive Is the very best.
and almost all OF those well cared for are already
recovering from the worst symptoms or the dis
order.

To THE EDITOR OF THE HERALD
SIR have read with interest your account or
the disease now prevailing among horses, and,
with your permission, will make few observations
respecting that disease. Last sunday morning I
found myself suffering from symptoms usually
called catarrh, but which might be more properly
called, in my case, semi-acute bronchits-viz.,
cough, expectoraton ola muco-purulent phlegm,
soreness in the larger bronchial tubes. sneezing
and general feeling OF debility. attributed all
these symptoms to the peculiar condition Of thu
be remembered, was wet warm, most disagree-
able day. IL Is not unreasonable to believe thar
IL was on this day that the horses also contracted
the disease which subsequently developed into
influenza, catarrh or whatever else IL may
be called. Whether the bronchial tubes IN
the horse become affected or not, !
do not know, IS IL very material to the treat%
ment, as in all cases II IL the mucous membrane
which suffers, and this membrane Is continuous
throughout from mouth nostrils down TO thd
air cells OF the lungs. AS regards the treatment,
which, after all, is the most important thing 10 %
considered | think the view taken by the well
known veterinary surgeon In Thirteenth street Is
correct. Judge so because II corresponds TO that
which we should adopt for man-viz., The avoid
ance OF all heroic measures or purgatlve meuicines,
but, on the contrary using c0rdai anu s.inuninu
remedies and giving full, generous net what lno
particular stimulant or cordial snoulu De III tno
case OF the horse / cannot say but such a one
should be selected the animal VIII not refuse 10
take along with his iced thus avoiding all those
fOrcible measures insisted upon Dy quacks. The
system is below par In these attacks and must be
built p mot lowered still further by cathartics)

Mr. BONNER:-
DEAR SIR-In the Spring OF 1868 disease broke
out among my cavalry horses at Fort Sumner. New
Mexico, that appears to me identical with that
now raging among horses In our cities, and in q
very few days became an epidemic.
At first IL dened all treatment, and the great ma
jority of horses attacked by 1t died. On examining
the threats OF the dead horses found the lining
membrane OF the arynx highly innamed and thick
ened and thick mucus pus filing II, causing suf'
location ordered all horses on the first appear.
ance OF the disease to be thoroughly rubbed be-
tween the lower Jaws and along the larynx down
the neck with spirits OF turpentine causing very
severe external irritation and blister.
saved every horse thus treated, and In q very
few days entirely broke the distemper and checked
the epidemic.
the epidemic prevails can be saved by adopting
this treatment 1t acts more quickly as a counter
irritant than any other remedy know, and re-
lieves the fever OF the membrane OF the larynx In
very few hours. Besides, spirits Of turpentinc IL
always at hand, and can be more readily applied
than any other counterirritant. IL should be-
thoroughly rubbed in through the hair to tho
skin, for a distance OF some twelve or thirteen
inches under the jaws and down the neck OF the
horse, Immediately over the larynX. The remedy
is severe and makes the skin sore for several
weeks, and for an hour causes great suffering To
the horse. But 1t acts promptly and effectively,
and in my Judgment, II will DC found the best, and
perhaps the only cure for this fatal malady, caus
ing such suffering and loss among horses through
out the country.
NY love Of horses induces me to address you,
and to ask you to give this communication snch
place In your paper as to reach the public In the
most prompt and general way, and stay one OF the
greatest misiortuncs now threatening all commu-
mites and destroying by thousands the noblcst
