mails will 90 it's danger to man as well.
The chief obstacle to the attainment
Of this goal is the difficulty that is
always experienced i'll securing the
rapid and general adoption of meas
ures to which the people are not ac-
customed The efficacy of the simulta-
neous treatment in rendering cattle
immune to anthrax is now as well es-
tablislled as the efficacy of arsenical
.,aths in Kidding them Of ticks, but this
fact has yet to be demonstrated In
practical object lessons to the great
lulk of stock raisers in the infected
districts. Earlier work with this anti
anthrax vaccine in a less perfected
form has also created Il certain preju-
dice which must be overcome before
the value of the new treatment Is
universally recognized.
The simultaneous treatment recently
Cc, fected represents a great advance
in the control of the disease. In this
method carefully standardized spore
vaccine is injected into one side of
the animal. and at the same time the
protecting serum into the other. In
tlii, way more immediate and 4 more
,;. ,.racted immunity is secured than
Is the use Of either the vaccine or the
scam alone 1t is also now possible
for the first time to standardize the
dcse-that is. to estimate exactly the
strength of the injection of the vac
cine. Furthermore, this vaccine. pre-
pared from the spores of the germs in-
stead of from the germs themselves.
retains its effectiveness sfor a much
longer period of time than the earlier
vaccine.
The general adoption Of this method,
it il now believed, should result in the
gradual elimination of anthrax. The
r..:aisite serum and vaccine CAN be
| manufactured and sold according to
the information now available, at a
c,.,t of approximately 30 cents per
animal. which will put the remedy at
the disposal of every stock owner in
the infected regions. enabling him to
have his stock treated for the preven-
ton of the disease. However. when
the animal becomes affected with char
hcn. such large quantities Of serum
alcne. without the spore vaccine, must
lie used. as a curative dose, that the
price for curing an animal may reach
| from S3 to as high as so. 1t will
| therefore be seen that economy de-
| ns,nds the preventive treatment Of the
exposed animals rather than the cura-
| tive treatment Of these which become
| i'll. The spores are unusually resistant
| to many of the common disinfectantS /;
they are not affected by ordinary
! weather conditions, and they are ca
| liable of Eersisting in the ground, in
infected pastures, for example, for
many years. If. however, they are
prevented from multiplying in the
bodies Of diseased animals. ultimately
