A Rockefeller Fund For the Study Of
Animal Disease.

It Is announced that John d. Rookie
Teller, through the General Education
Board, has added 100000 to the en-
dowment fund of the Rockefeller In
stitute for Medical Research, for the
establishment of department for The
study of animal diseases, and that
James J. Hill had given $4,000 to be
devoted to the study Of the disease
known as hog cholera.
The ravages of diseases among
animals have not only endangered the
health of human beings, but have cost
the country many millions Of dollars.
They are one of the factors in keep
ing up the high cost Of living"
In the history of medical science
the work of Pasteur on anthrax and
the more recent observations in this
country on Texas fever in cattle,
which opened the door to present
knowledge concerning insect carriers
of malaria, yellow fever and other
diseases, are conspicuous Illustrations
of the value of studies on animal
diseases.
How important the work promises
to be would follow from statistics is
sued by the Rockefeller Institute 1t
has been estimated that in the North
west alone hog cholera has killed
100000. 900 worth Of swine during the
last year.
Significant evidence of the import
ance of such investigations as the new
department will undertake and OF
the expediency of undertaking them
in the manner proposed is to be found
in the fact that contribution of
$4,000 to aid in the study Of hog
cholera has been received from James
j. HILL
With the present facilities at hand,
the income from the $1,0O0,000 en-
dowment will make it possible to car
~ on the work on broad scope at
once.
