Galveston. Texas. November LIN a
preliminary report from the patho-
logical department OF the medical college
to DIR. Folsetter, State veterinarian, on
specimens from horses that died of the
prevailing epidemic the discovery Of the
Charlton bacillus is related and the fol-
lowing conclusions drawn:
While the above observations are as yet
of necessity incomplete upon all the tissues
submitted, it seems from the uniformity
of discovery of the anthrax bacillus in all
tho horses examined upon Galveston is
land that we may al least conclude that
this disease prevails at present in this To-
caaty; and 1t is probable, from the fact
that all these animals were regarded by
veterinarians as belonging to the preva-
lent disease, that this epizootic is really
anthrax or Charlton. While II can not be
answered at once whether these may not
have been mere condolences and whether
there is not perhaps some other Affection
also prevalent besides anthrax, yet this
seems improbable. For this reason. and
because OF the really serious menace to
human beings from having anthrax In their
midst, we have felt 1t advisable to forward
this report at once. and call attention TO
the state of affairs as far as determined.
1t seems likely us the eases examined were
thought typical OF the disease, both upon
n IN pff ht, lei nd hnt ul1 be
of the same nature. The unusual clinical
features are probably to be explained by
the violence and rapid course of the dis
ease, most cases being probably Of The
type described us "apoplectc' or as
acute" by veterinary writer's, and not Of
the more common and slower form charac-
terized by hemorrhage oedemas and pus-
| tules of the muscles. The nsidious spread
of the disease, the apparent relation be-
! twsen the pasturage and the outbreak, and
| the atypical symptoms have PROBABLY led
| to its n-recognition but the above re-
| suits may be regarded as positive evidence
Of the real nature Of the affection, a,
| least in the cases observed. The ilfactiou
OF the pasturage by the solid ana liquid ex-
creta Of diseased animals Is probably to
blame for the Idea that the disease aries
| from improper food
| If possible, It Is to be desired that the
laboratory be furnished with fresh unc n
tamnated specimens from the mainland
at various points, In order that it can ht
ascertaAned whether the affection is identi.
| cal in different localities II it can b.
shown by further examinations thai the
entire epizootlc Is charbon in view OF the
protective value of anthrax vaccination
and It's slight cost. much financial loss tC
the infected districts and the entire STATE
as well may be prevented aud decided
danger to human life averted Whatever
we can do in the matter for your further
assistance, we assure you will be pleas
ure. Very sincerely,
