selves that pleuro-pneumonia had foothold
on the Atlantic coast. Previous to this
only vague whispers were heard about the
existence of the maady. The information we gave
the public official; in fact, Professor McEachran
had been commissioned by the Canadian government
to make the inspection, and he called to his assist
