"rhe Commissioner has issued the
following instructions to the chief In
spector ut the Union Stock Yards:
"'While actinomycosis IL usually
confined to the head, and may be said
In one sense to be localized disease
and while some inspectors condemn
only the part involved. I believe 1t II
safest and most practicable to condemn
the entire carcass wherever the actl
nOmycOtic 0bscess opens into the
mouth, pharynx, larynx or any part OF
the digestive or respiratory tract; q
when the Emphatic glands are invoN
ed; or where there are electromagnetic
tum0rs In the lungs; or when the le
siOns have become generalized, since
generalization In actin0mycOsls appears
to run a very atypic course. making
the detection Of all foci inside thu
muscle very difficult; therefore, the en-
tire carcass Is to he condemned.
"In cases where the electromagnetic
LESSONS are positively localized, the in
fected part may be cut away and tin
remains Of the carcass used.

reasons why you should want to con
