Reports come from down the river
that hogs are dying very fast with
some disease, and so far no one has
been able TO tell what II is. just be-
fore they die a frothing appears at the
nostrils, and then, in shor. while,
they lay down and do not get up any
more. An examination was made on
a hog that had died, and it was found
the lights were covered with small
blisters, and on being cut with knife
the same kind of froth appears as
that which runs from the nostrils.
Mr.. Clarence Chambers, who brought
in this report, says he saw as many
as forty or fifty hogs which had died
in very short time.
