Live Stock Sanitation.

Sure cures" recommended by lay
men for some of our fatal animal dis
eases, such as Charlton or anthrax. are
a menace to the live stock interests OF
the state, and should be discounte-
nanced by stockmen as dangerous.
When a "quack' makes the statement
that the medical professions have
fallen down in the successful treatment
OF Charlton, and that he has the only
sure cure" it ought to be enough to
kill him in the eyes of intelligent
people. 1t is just question of putting
ignorance up against the work of the
medical world, which has been en-
gagged in its scientific study since
Duvaine, of Paris, discovered the germ
of Charlton in 1850. Charlton is not
controlled by "sure cures" as there
are none, but by strict sanitation to
destroy the infection, aided by the
various protective agents which have
been discovered within recent years,
and based upon the discovery of vac
cine years ago by Louis Pesteur, the
great French scientist.
