TUBERCULOSIS was discovered by DR..
Weiderhall in herd of cattle near Fred
erica few days ago. The doctor ad-
vised the owner to kill the one diseased
animal at once, which advice was acqui-
esced in. A post-mortem was held and
the doctors diagnosis was proven to be
correct. Fourteen other cows ofthe same
herd we're quarantined for twenty one
days, during which time they will be
closely watched and cared for and the
milk thrown away It is not thought any
more of the herd are affected, as the dis
covery of the disease was made just in
the nick of time to save them.

4 New Sulphur FunliGHtinG Candle.

A New Sulphur Fumielting Candle.
An admirable means cf securing
handy, cheap and effective disinfcction
is provided by ntw form Of the or
1inary sulphur fumigating candle. The
candle burns freely from the moment
Of ignition until the whole of the sui
phur is consumed. One of the draw
backs in the Use of the ordinary sui.
phur candle is that some portion of the
sulphur is either volatilized as such or
forms sulphuric acid in process Of burn
ing; but in the new candle a powerful
oxidizinS agent is associated with the
sulphur, which not only promotes and
tnsures better combustion, but evolves
much purer sulphuric acid gas. The
candle is made with a water Jacket.
which not only insures safety from
tire, but which gives Off water vapor
in combination with the sulphurious
acid gas by means Of the heat gener-
nted by the burning sulphur The great
efficacy of Sulphurous acid as ilisin-
fectant is gained when it is generated
In moist state. as the charged vapor
condenses on the articles to be disin-
fected, and thus the sulphurous acid
Is brought into absolute contact with
them. The candle will burn for two
Or three hours, if required so long, and
the room to be diGinfected or contain
ing articles to be funigated should be
carefully closed. By the use of this
device infected rooms, hospital wards.
clothing, bedding, and drapery can be
well and safely purified and all YER
min and insects can be destroyed.
