duced were free from disease and that

And In order that .Jt might be deter
mined whether all beef exported has
been so inspected and found free from
disease and wholesome. 1t IL further
ordered that meat OF all other species
OF animals. hacked in barrels, cases or
other packages, shall he legally mark
ed in such a manner as to clearly In
dlcate from what species Of animal II
