APHTHOUS FEVER
CASES FOUND At
PHILADELPHIA
Health Authorities Takes ViQOr-
Gus Action
KILL HERD OF CATTLE
State Laboratory Official Says Little
Reason to Fear Spread of Dis
ease to Humans

Philadelphia, Pa, Nov. 2S.-The
first cattle in this city found to be suf-
fering from aphthous fever, or hoof
and mouth disease, were located yes
terday through the department OF
health and charities. Inspectors
learned that four cattle had been ship
ped from an infected district near
Morristown Montgomery county to
Jacob Haesler. a dairyman in the nor
thern section of the city II was
found that two of the COWS were suf-
fering from the fever. They we're in
pen with Is others and the entire
herd was killed and large quantity
of milk was conflscated. The barns.
pen and milk house were disinfected
and the place quarantined.
A report that eight cattle had been
skipped from an infected district TO
a slaughter house in the lower section
of the city, caused the inspectors to
quarantine that place and order the
destruction of the eight cows and al
so 1875 sheep which were in the yards
with them.
Dr. Herbert Fo, chief of the labora-
tory of the state department Of health
who went to Danville last week to eX-
anime seven children supposed TO
have contracted the cattle disease.
said today that there need be little
fear of the fever becoming epidemic
among humans. OF the seven cases
he examined, he said but one was sew
ere, and that while It may have been
a case Of aphthous fever, there was
nothing to prove conclusively that
such was the case. while in the case
Of four others It was certain they were
not suffering from the disease. DR..
Fox says that he does not believe that
the disease is communicable to man
through butter and milk

SHOOK HANDS WITH LANDMAN
Montpelier Young Woman Is Now in
Strict Quarantine

Montpelier. Nov. 23.-Although not
yet down with the disease. one young
matron In Montpelier has experienced
all the rigors Of strict smallpox quar-
antine for she has been cooped up in
room on the top story of her house
ever since last Tuesday when she
shook hands with Luke Landman of
Londonderry and had a chat with him.
I he young lady's old home is in Lon
donderry and when she met Mr. Land
man on the street she stopped to talk
about the people at home She held
his hand only a second when they
greeted but now that she looks back
upon the meeting the hand clasp
seems like hours.
When Mr.. Landman was taken 10
the pest house in his home town a day
later with a fully developed case OF
smallpox. the Montpelier woman got
extremely nervous and told her family
about t. There were prompt steps
taken then and there. The young
woman was shOo-ed into the upper
story Of the house and there she had
been confined ever since. She and
the other members OF the household
were promptly yaccinated and since
the treatment worked in all cases.
Il has been quite a sick family even If
they do not contract smallpox. II is
hoped that the prompt submission to
vaccination and the fact that Il work
ed so well will staye of the disease
/ but the young woman will remain I'm
confinement until after the fourteen
day limit Is reached. The fourteen
days will be up in her case next We'd
uesday.
