Epidemics Among Animals.

At the meeting of the international
Medical Congress, at London, among
the most notable Of the addresses deliv-
cred there was one mae by M. Pas
teur, whose researches in fermentation
have made him so celebrated. This
French savant has been devoting him.
self of late to the study Of epidemics in
the lower animals and the propagation
of their special diseases. Two subjects
had particularly attracted his attention
one was o species of cholera In fowls,
and the other the terribly destructive
disease known in cattle as the Charlton,
splenic fever, or Siberian pest. Start
ing with the idea that an attenuated
form of the disease would protect the
animal from more aggressive and gen.
eral attacks of the same disturbance, he
proceeded exactly as did Jenner with
smallpox. In noticing how wonderful
had been this method Of treatment In
France, what NJ. Pasteur said may DO
summarized as follows: By this splenic
fever in France alone every year the
loss in cattle had been 20,OOO, 900 OF
francs, or about 81, 0OO, 900. Wishing to
convince agriculturists that by means Of
vaccination their cattle could be saved,
he experimental on fifty sheep. TWEEN
ty-fve of these were inoculat-
ed with an attenuated virus. In
two weeks afterward all the fifty sheep
were inoculated with the unattenuated
virus. Every one of the sheep that had
not been vaccinated died of splenic fe-
YER in fifty hours, while not one Of the
vaccinated animals suffered. Since that
experiment, M. Pasteur stated that mis-
time and energies had been taxed to
their utmost to meet the demands for
supplies of this vaccine, and that IN the
space of fifteen days in the departments
surrounding Paris more than 200
sheep and horses and cattle had been
vaccinated. Could there be more con-
vincing proof of the usefulness of hui
man vaccination7 The testimony Of
certainly the greatest authority in the
world on germs of disease ought to 81
lence those insane persons who not only
take their own lives in their hands, but
are DESTROYS of preventing others from
benefting by the great service rendered
to humanity by Jenner. With q few Ia
natics at their head in England, they are
not satisfied with giving trouble at home,
but are just now distributing grstuitous-
~ their foolish publications in this
country.-NetU York Times.
