DIR. William Cannon OF the Medical col
lege this morning reached satisfactory
stage In the culture of the bacilli which
were observed in the specimens Of horses
that died from the prevailing epidemic.
DR.. Cannon Identifies the bacillus as
the germ of anthrax or charborl
He was asked whether the bacillus of
Charlton might not be present in latent
condition and not be the cause OF death
He thought this hardly possible, because
the Charlton bacillus is of so virulent a
kind that 1t would predominant.
Charlton ragged throughout the coast
country all summer. but apparently dis
appeared several weeks ago. The prevail
ing horse disease has been repeatedly dag
nosed as cerebro- spinal meningitis and
there have been none OF the ordinary symp-
toms of Charlton. which usually appears
In external sores.
DR.. Cannon does not recall any de-
scriptions of Charlton with the symptoms
found in the prevailing disease, but there
is the germ big as life, and the microscope
tells no lies.
DR.. Cannon and DR.. Smith have be-
come very much interested in the subject
and with Veterinarian Burkey will make
