Abuse of Animals Before Slaughter

The more sensible physicians have
for long time urged that more at.
tention should be psid to the slsugh.
ter Of animals intended for food. DIR.
Jackson describes, with great Vivid.
ness, the effect produced BY driving
COW in the heat and dust, fright
ened and angry, directly TO the
shambles. 1t has been urged that
the transportation of animals by rail
long distances, so affects their blood
and general health as to make them,
in some cases, seriously poisonous to
those who eat them. DR.. Roser, The
celebrated snatomist, cites the case
of family which ate of roebuck
caught in a snare. 1t was so caught
that it must have survived long in
most severe agony. On the day that
the family first partook of the dainty
the members were all afflicted with
dryness of the mouth, oppression of
the stomach and nausea. All were
alike troubled with pain in the head
and giddiness, as we'll as extreme
weakness in the limbs. One lost
sight for several days, and the moth
er ed after prolonged illness. He
concludes the communication by urg.
ing that as many animals are tor
tured to death, I medical police
ought to sharply supervise the mat
ter that such animals be not sold for
food. No one who has lived in any
portion of the Southwest can fail to
appreciate the Importance of this
subject. Most city people are abso.
lutely at the mercy of the butchers
They must eat what is exposed for
sale without the slightest knowledge
of how it came to its death. A more
decent civilization will undoubtedly
take care to furnish healthy meat as
well as milk. 1t is not what we drink,
but what we eat also, that infuses
the system with fevers and agues
and subtle destroying agencies.
