| Anythintr used in connection with
cattle, dors. rones. or mems clothing
will carry the anthrax. Even their bite
after passing from n discaSp;i animal is
to be feared. The hide. hair or wool of
an affected carcass is dangerous.
One of the charts exhibited showed
that the anthrax bacilli were more
numerous in the Newport samples than
the blood cornuscles The SECOND
chart showed the later stage of growth
OF the bacilli, The bacilli continue
growing after the death of the af-
fected animal, but die after a short
time. The anthrax spores may live
and grow for wears.
In reply to Dr.. Blacks query in re.
gard TO the effect of temperature on
spores DIR, Pearson said they propagate
better in warm weather than in cold.
Yet they grow in winter in the Alps.
m EvEs IN svNproNs
DIR. Ewes talked first upon the symp-
toms OF anthrax. The infected animal
usually stands off alone from the rest OF
the herd, 1t is listless and notices moth
ing. In case OF rapid symptoms the
COW has been milking in the morning
and IS dead at night. Death often comes
n lew hours, sometimes in two days;
The latter is the limit. The infected
animal is usually llstless, has staring
eyes. IL IS troubled with abdominal
pains, ana Is continually looking around
TO It's side. 1t breathes rapidly, resplra-
tons 6O to the minute. The pulse is
weak and hardly discernible, while the
heart beats violently Inc Ealt Is
staggering, IL drags It's limbs, appar-
entity unable To walk. Ihe next moment
u may tall heae. over heels.
one OF the newport cases mat the
speaker saw iell over dctd near fence
otherS dlea hlcklhg ana scratching the
grass.
Inc Intestinal symptoms are not very
marked. Upon cutting through the SKIN,
blood spots were seen between the SKIN
tissue ana The muscles. In the mites,
tines were reddish yellow clots OF
mucous membrane. Inc lntestlnes We're
empty.
Ihe spleen is enlarged and often
bursts A mass OF deep red blood eXudes
which has the consistency and appear
ance of currant jelly
Anthrax has been confounded with
indigestion. If you have COW that
evidences listlessneSs, goes staggering
about and is failing in its milk, then
look out for anthrax.
Another symptom is that the blood
will not coagulate nor clot. The speaker
found this noticeably in horse. A
white scum exuding from external
openings is another marked symptom.
There was also bloody serous exuda.
ton OF salivaat the mouth, also frothing,
Many Of the symptoms are similar to
sunstloke.
When the horse is affected it has a
vacant expression. The animal means
and its eyes are glazy. AT times it is
wild and does not recognize you. II may
fall on you. In walking it will make a
headlong leap and falls over 1t tosses
it's head violently against the ground,
Death is from the bacilli going into
the blood and taking up all the oxygen
nc germs uecoine more numerous thah
