The Origin and Character OF the
H0rse Epidemic.
This virulent disease is said to have
originated in Toronto, Canada, where,
in a very brief time. hacks, drays,
carriages. and all conveyances drawn
by horses were brought to Il stand

Falls, and from there it soon spread to
Rochester. BY canal and railroad
from here it was not long in reaching
the horses Of New York City and
Boston. Thence it Travelled westward
to Buffalo, and then moved on to
Chicago and Detroit, and at the time

and respiration. feebleness and yellow

chiet parts affected are the respiratory
organs, though the disease. being

organs which have been previously
affected by complaints. In regard to
