! For the last six or seven years Dr. Salmon,
the veterinary surgeon Of the agricultural de-
partment, and his corps of assistants have been
, studying hog cholera. They found that the
disease assumed somewhat different aspects in
different parts of the country, but that it had
the same general characteristics, and they
were soon convinced that it was by germs.
! They experienced considerable difficulty in
obtaining cases in the first stages. The dis
ease takes the form of large ulcers in the in
testines, and as it proceeds the germs change
materially.
But recently the disease broke out near this
city, and the doctor had an opportunity to oh
serve it in all its stages. BY this observation
he found that an important germ in the in
cipiency of the disease had been overlooked
The cases near this city We're studied with
great minuteness, and species of incubation
devised that was a protection against the dis
ease. 1t will be necessary to demonstrate
that the cholera that RACES in other portions
of the country is the same as this, and, if so,
it is thought that success is close at hand
The incubation that was performed here was
by means Of a hypodermic syringe. -Wash-
