CONCERNING FAKE"
HOG CHOLERA ''CURES"
Many So Called Remedies Of
Absolutely No Value.
PREVENTION ONLY BENEFIT
BY DR.. c. c. LiPP, South Dakota
State College.

BY DR.. c. c. LIPP, South Dakota
State College.
1t is an old truism that a drowning
man grasps at a straw. The hog own
er becomes the drowning man just as
soon as cholera makes it's appearance
in his neighborhood. The straw he
grasps at in a most frantic manner
is any so called cholera cure. The
farmer is not entirely to blame. He is
not fully aware that hog cholera is
incurable and is SO regarded by the
highest veterinary authorities in all
countries. Lacking this knowledge
he still thinks that some untried drug
or chemical or combination of them
may stay his losses. When an adver-
tisement or an agent guaranteeing a
cure for cholera gains the farmers
attention he frequently grasps what
he considers his opportunity to save
his hogs. This supposed cure is the
straw at which the drowning maj
grasps.
The nature Of hog cholera, the va
rious venue for the exit and en-
trance of the infection into hogs, the
appearance of diseased organs, the
complications incident to cholera, are
all we'll known facts, available to any
earnest student. This does not mean
any n can become familiar with all
phases of hog cholera without years OF
study under competent instruction.
In the pioneer days when the live
stock interests could not afford the
services of trained veterinarians it
was necessary for all owner to treat
their own ailing animals. The dis
eases treated were as many and We.
ried as the medicines used, and when
an animal recovered the recovery
was always attributed to the remedy.
Scientific research has demonstrated
that many of the remedies had no the.
rapeutic value whatever and when
recovery occurred it was in spite of
the treatment and not the result of it.
This is not to be construed as mean
ing that all of the remedies used were
valuelesS. Some of them were of the
highest value and are in daily use
now, but many of them were not in
dicated in the treatment of the dis
eases for which they were employed.
The above situation with regard to
hog cholera prevails today in many
localities. Many farmers claim to
have a cure for this disease. Many
firms are Haunting the most useless
preparations before the farmers
whose hogs are dying of cholera,
knowing that as a last resort the
farmers will grasp at anything that
offers relief. When it is remembered
that all drugs offering the faintest
hope for cure have been repeatedly
tried in this and every other hog
raising country and found useless it
seems most absurd that any man OF
group of men, often without accurate
and scientific knowledge of the dis
ease processes of hog cholera, or OF
the action of the drugs used, should
announce a cure for cholera. To say
that cholera can be cured is like say,
ing that coal can be made into gold
Both may be possible at some future
time; neither is possible at present

CAUSES OF DISEASE.
Contagious and Infectious Ailments
Due to Certain Germs.

Due to Certain Germs.
The causes Of disease are almost as
numerous as the diseases them~-ves.
1t should be remembered, however,
that each one of the SO called con.
tagious and infectious diseases is al.
ways caused by some particular germ.
For instance, the disease known a;
tuberculosis, or consumption, is al
ways caused by the particular gefiI,
of that disease, known as Ire tubercle
bacillus. The only disease that this
germ causes directly is tuberculosis,
and there is never tuberculosis unless
the germ of that disease is present.
This general principle applies to all
other Catching" diseases.
