Ava ~
Tie Dcm'niC0m elves us The following
information about the ep:zootic now
prevailing in Nevis:
We have received advice that the cpl
demio among the stock in Nevis is confined
entirely to one side ofthe island, Ujz the
northern side. Owing TO the scarcity of
water in that part Of the country the
cattle are water,d in q stream which,
being used by the rol %ulatiou fer washing
and even tou!er purposes in its upper
reaches, is nothing better than q sewer.
The use OF this water by animals is suffi-
Gent to produce the distemper which is
now causing so much loss to owners Of
cattle in the sister Presidency"
A Cattle Diseases Bill has been passed
by he Nevis Legislature, but as vet the
measures adopted have not stayed the pro-
gress of this fatal disease, which threatens
TO work much havoc amopg cattle ard
other stock. We reprint tie description
OF the disease which a medical gentleman
