HORSE FLU" RESEMBLES
HUMAN AlLNENT
Now Under Good Control, but Federal
Authorities Advise Precautions
to Prevent Outbreak.

Although the serious epidemic of
influenza now affecting the human
family has no relation to the dis
ease of the same name which affects
horses, specialists of the United
States department of agriculture point
out a resemblance Of symptoms and
course of the disease in each instance.
q According to the department, influ-
enza among horses at the present time
is under better control in all sections
of the country than ever before. This
results almost entirely from work Of
the federal authorities in combating
the disease.
Equine influenza Is a common dis
ease in the large cities Of the country,
affecting horses which pass through
infected stables Of dealers. Only,
however, under certain influences not
understood and when large numbers
of horses in commercial channels are
exposed to contagion, does it assume
an enzootic or epizootic form. Unlike
certain other infectious disease, one
attack of influenza does not grant
a lasting immunity. However, pre-
vious attack or attacks or other unas-
signable reasons apparently make old
horses less susceptible than young
Ones.
An Old Disease of Horses.
History indicates that this disease
has been recognized in various out
breaks for several hundred years past.
Even before the Christian era, a Sc
we're ~epizootic believed to be influen-
"a, is recorded as having occurred in
Sicily, and again in A. D. 1901 it
spread over a considerable portion
of Italy, causing great loss among the
war horses of Rome. In 1648 the dis
ease affected Germany and spread to
other parts of Europe, and in III it
followed the tracks of the great armies
all over Europe, causing immense los
ses among the horses. Other extern
sive outbreaks obtained at intervals
from 1913 to 1883, one of which was
that of 1908, in connection with the
Franco-Prussian war. The first re-
corded appearance of equine %influen-
"a in North America was in 1866
Probably the most severe outbreak.
however, was that Of 1870-72, when
it spread over the entire country from
Canada, south to Ohio, and then east
ward to the Atlantic coast and west
ward to California, although the Sc.
verify of the outbreak of 1909-10
should not be overlooked. In these
e~pizootics, there was a heavy loss OF
horses, and being prior to introduc-
ton of the motor truck in city COM
merce, business in the great CONNER
cial centers of the country was ser.
iously Inconvenience and in some cas-
es practically suspended for lack Of
available horses.

human family, epizootics Of equine in
fluenza are difficult to control. The
true primary cause Of the disease has
not been established, though it is gen.
orally believed to be due to a specific
germ, too small to be detected under
the highest power microscope. It GER
tainly has the characteristic of ex-
IRENE di~ffusibility, leading to spread
of disease over a large area of the
country in a few days, the outbreak
running it's course despite all efforts
to prevent it, and the infection grad
ually subsiding without assignable
cause.
Symptoms Of the Malady.
The symptoms are those of fever,
in some cases preceded by a chill.
There is great %prostration and depres-
sion of muscular force; the visible
mucous membranes, especially those
of the eye, become a deep saffron,
ocher, or violet red color, from which
fact the term "pinkeye" has been CIV
en- the disease. There is a great dim
unition or total loss of appetite and a
rapid loss Of flesh.

WHEN HORSES GET THE FLU.

To guard against an unfavorable
termination or the development of one
of its numerous complications, horses
upon showing evidence of influenza
should be relieved Immediately from
work. Most careful nursing is also
essential for horses affected with in
fluenza and, likewise, skilled medical
treatment, which a be best be assur-
ed by placing affected animals under
the care of a qualified veterinarian.
The spread of the infection should be
prevented by s%egregating the diseased
animals and thoroughly cleaning and
d~isinfecting the contaminated premis-
es. Plenty of. sunlight and good ven-
tilation are also highly desirable.
