Hitherto all efforts to check rinder-
pest, except by destroying the animals,
have been futile. But now the farm
ers of South Africa are rejoicing over
the discovery by Prof. Koch, the great
German scientist, of remedy. 1t con-
sists of serum from the blood OF an an
i,nal which has recovered from the
disease, mixed with quantity OF
y;rulent rinderpest blood. Animals,
when injected with this mixture were
able to withstand an injection Of 30
cubic centimeters of rinderpest blood,
a ten-thousandth of which IS fatal
dose. One liter suffices for so head OF
aattie. A second important discovery
Is that one hypodermic injection of ten
cubic centimeters of bile from cattle
who have succumbed to the disease viii
render healthy cattle immune. The
local result is merely hard swelling
which soon disappears. This methoo
of immuning cattle may enable wide
belt of those inoculated to be placed be
tween healthy and infected areas. Prof
Koch urges cattle owners to avail them
selves at once of his discovery.
