Thos c. Campbell, Esq, Kirksville, Mo. {:
DEAR SIR: In reply 10 your letter OF
Yesterday, permit me To say: This disease
is not only very contagious. but also very
fatal To herds and fOcks attacked by 1t {;
| and the most prompt and vigorous means
should be immediately adopted by all Cit
| izer:s. but especially by those owning or
managing herds or HJckS in the infected
neIghborhoOd, To prevent It's spread
Prompt and effective means should at
once be adopted To isolate ali infected ant
exposed animals, 10 prevent the possibility
| of their coming in contact with other AMI
mais. In cases where the disease Is fully
/ developed, in lis malignant form Especially
I in The mouth the safest method Is To Kill
! the animal and burn the entire carcass,
! thus destroying the germs Of the disease.
! All ieed lots and stables occupied
bv diseased animals should be immediate
! IL and vigorously quarantined against. 1t
will doubtless be the pleasure as 1t Is the
autv of every citizen to heartily aud
promptly aid IN I'm the work OF Cradicating
such a terrible disease. IL has assumed
such threatening proportions in aur sister
state of Kansas that Governor Click, SEE.
| has issued a proclamation cOnveniTg the
legislature in special session To devise
/! legal measures for preventing It's spread.
! | hope, however, the citizens OF Adalr
county, or any Others which NAV be Wis
tied bv the malady, will cheerfully and
promptly aid in eradicatirg it where 1T
exists and prevent Its further spread.
