NO REMEDY FOR
BANGS DISEASE
Despite Advertised Products,
Still No Cure Found For
Infectious Cattle Disease
EXPERIMENTS MADE

Regardless of advertised claims,
backed by so-called testimonials,
there still is no cure for Bangs
disease of cattle, according to re
ports received by A. E. Tomhave,
animal husbandman at the Della
ware Agricultural Experiment Sta
ton, from the Federal Bureau of
Animal Industry. Tests conducted
by the Bureau in cooperation with
the Wisconsin Agricultural Exper-
iment Station give further evidence
of the inability of remedies" eth
er to prevent exposed animals from
contracting the disease or cure
those that already have it. In
vestigators selected the two pro-
ducts believed to be most widely
advertised and used as remedies
for Bangs disease The products
were tried on 81 heifers which
were tested and found to be COM
pletely free of the disease. The re-
search men deliberately exposed
the animals to the disease, and
again tested them to be sure that
all were infected OF the 81 heif-
ers used in the test, ga of them
lost their calves by abortion or
gave birth to salves so weak they
died soon after. Only three gave
birth to calves that lived. The
Bureau, says Tomhave, analyzed
one of the remedies and all it could
find was brown sugar, wood creo-
sote, and ash. The Bureau also
has tested many materials in
search of an effective cure, includ-
ing several antiseptic dyes. car

DEMBY'S SENTENCE

The case of Edward Demby, for
assault upon Mrs. Margaret S. HUI
kill, Middletown, noted in our last
issue, was disposed of at the We'd
nesday session Of court. In i'm
posing thte sentence, the chief jus
tice alluded to the enormity Of the
crime and said the term of impri-
sonment would be long enough to
give the prisoner ample time to re-
form. The sentence was $500 fine,
an hour in the pillory, 30 lashes
and imprisonment for five years.
The limit provided by law is ten
years. Demby smiled family on
hearing this sentence, as though
he had entertained fears of the
death penalty, and was relieved to
learn he was not to be hung. His
