HORSES ARE DISEASED.
Farmers Near Pocahontas Alarmed al
Prevailing Malady.

armers Near Pocahontas alarmed al
Prevailing Maiady.
Special to Times Republican.
Des Mcines. April 13.-The residents
of Pocahontas and the surrounding
county are becoming alarmed at the
rapid spread of a contagious disease
among horses and cattle there. Vet
crinarian Baughman received tele-
phone message from Pocahontas this
morning calling his attention to the
matter. He has not seen any of the
cattle, but from the description of thu.
symptoms given him says he is almoss
sure that disease is verminous bron-
chitis which is attacking the stock.
From all indications the cases will very
probably be turned over to the state
veterinarian who will likely deputise
several local surgeons on the case. This
is very contagious disease and will
call for immediate attention in order
to prevent further spread. 1t seems
to result fatally for the animals in three
days.
Twelve or fifteen farmers are report
cd to have suffered losses.

He has no dog or cats that might

none. Only this: we hope the women folks
will read it. Get the genuine. Make sure
about the name--Cal-cura Solvent. DR..
