There is q great confusion of terms with
regard to the proper designation for the prev
alent distemper among horses. 1t is as much
an error to speak of "the epizootc" as, for
] instance, of ''the rheumatic" Epizootc is
an adjective; epzooty is the corresponding
noun, and it should be pronounced in as ma
ny syllables as there are vowels, that is, Eve,
and with the accents on the & and first (ep-
i-zo'o-ty). An epizooty means disease
among brute animals just as an epidemic
! means disease among men.
