HUMAN AyD AyTu1L DISEASE.

A remarkable but perfectly authenticated
planation has been found for the mysterious
outbreak of cattle plague in the United States
last year An investigation conducted by the
bureau Of animal industry of the Department Of
Agriculture at Washington, assisted by the
Marine Hospital and Public Health Service,
shows that the trouble first arose with some
calves which were being used for the prepara-
ton of vaccine virus. Further inquiry estah-
Iished the fact that the cowpox serum employed
in that work was impOrted-frOm what country
is not indicated in the official report. Some of
the same article and samples of the product
made in this country from it were obtained by
government experts. Both were tested by in
oculatng several cows and sheep. and foot and
mouth disease was developed in every in
stance. though virus procured from other
sources failed to produce that effect. 1t was
thus made clear that two of the preparations
tried had been impure. Measures were then
taken to suppress all that had come under
suspicion. and the bureau of animal industry
now makes the gratifying announcement that
vaccine serum contaminated with foot and
mouth disease is on the market to-day.
few cases closely paralleling though less
serious han this are on record The bureau of
animal industry believes that the mild out
break of foot and mouth disease in New Eng

States instances of harm resulting from the use
