confined to the head, and may b said
In ono sense to be Q localised disease
and while some inspectors condemn
only the part involved. I believe It Il
safest and most practicable to condemn
the entire carcass wherever the acti
n0mycotc abscess opens Into thu
mouth, pharynx, larynx or any part Of
the digestive or respiratory tract; O.
when the Emphatic glands are involS
ed; or where there are actinomycoti'
tumors In the lungs; or when the le
sions have become generalixed, sincl
generalization In actinomycosis appear
to run q very atypic course. making
the detection Of all foci inside thu
muscle very diaicult; therefore. the @
tire carcass 10 to b condemned.
"'In cases whore the actinomycoti,
lesions are positively localized. the In
fected part may b cut away and tn
remains Of tho carcass used.

But you should never hesitate to con
