CASE OF ANTHRAX
FOUND IN FREMONT
THE MOST DREADED CATTLE
DISEASE KNOWN DISCOVERED
IN NEWAYGo COUNTY.
FIRST CASE IN MANY YEARS
The Rest Of the Herd Were Vaccina-
ted and Guaranteed and Ban viii
Not Be Lifted for Months.

Lansing-A case of anthrax. a cattle
plague more dreaded than foot and
mouth. disease, has been discovered in
Michigan. An animal near Fremont
in Newaygo county died from It last
Saturday. No announcement was made
until Wednesday, when laboratory
tests and the injection of the blood Of
the dead animal into rabbits and
guinea pigs proved beyond all ques-
tion that the disease was anthrax.
The rest of the herd in which the
stricken animal roamed have been vac.
cinated and quarantined. This was
done Saturday and The ban will not be
lifted for many months.
SO far as the records show this is
the first case of anthrax in this state
in many years. II is perhaps better
known as the wool sorter's disease" F"
II attacks vital organs OF the animals
through a peculiar infection OF the
blood. which IL turns almost to the
consistency of molasses. The germ
may live in an animal for some time,
but when the disease once gets good
hold, death is certain before many
days.
The serious part of anthrax lies in
the fact that IL is the one bad cattle
disease which is communicable to hui
man beings. Many cases are on rec
ord OF humans being stricken after
having come in contact with cattle
suffering from IL. II is one of the
diseases included in the list of dan
gerous communicable diseases. Chair
