Undulant Fever
In County

Ten cases of undulant feven have
been reported in Cecil County during
the seven months of 1914. This is a
marked increase over previous years,
as shown by the records of the Coun-
ty Health Department. There was one
case of this disease in 1941, three
cases in 1912 and three cases in
1943.
Undulant Fever is communicable
from animals to man, principally
through the consumption of unpas-
teurized milk or milk products. In a
small number of instances, infection
occurs through the skin of persons
handling animals or carcases infected
with Bangs disease.
The incubation period is variable,
from six to fourteen days. Generally,
the first symptoms are fever, weak
ness and a feeling of illness. There
are mild attacks, but usually the
temperature gradually rises and the
patient develops headache, pains in
the muscles, back and joints and
there is loss of appetite.
The fever may continue for several
weeks, then decline gradually. There
after, the patient feels rather well
for few days after which a relapse
may occur. The average period of
convalescence is about three months,
but returning to work too early ag-
gravates the symptoms and seems to
predispose to relapses. Recovery is
the usual outcome.
Prevention of the disease is best
attained by testing reproducing
animals for Bangs disease and the
destruction of ANIMALS found to har-
Dor the infection. The consumption
of milk and milk products which
have been properly pasteurized will
prevent practically all cases of undu-
liant fever in man. Unpasteurized
milk should be heated to the boiling
point and Immediately refrigerated
before using it for food.

BROMBR CROP
ssr-1' FACES LOSS

Practical cessation of army buying
in the Delmarva Peninsula has the
broiler industry of the area facing
terrific losses" unless something is
done about it within the next few
weeks, the Shores largest poultry
grower said.
After more than year during
which it Communicated from 65 to
rs per cent of the industry's broiler
output, the army in the last few
weeks has cut it's purchases to one or
two truckloads a week, according to
Roland w. Beauchamp, of Berlin.
AS a consequence of this curtail-
ment, Mr.. Beauckamp said, hundreds
of thousands of broilers have been
left on growers hands for four, five
and six weeks over and above the
normal marketing stage, and with
each day the loss on these birds ac-
cumulate.
1.-The growers o nthe Shore have
become panicky," he said. Where
as the normal input of day-old chicks
is between 100000 and 100000
weekly, it has been cut to about
100000.
UNLESS something happens soon,
the losses on the Eastern Shore will
be terrific.
For year the army demanded
IS to rs per cent of our production
sometimes more-and then sud-
denly has quit buying altogether.
Meanwhile, the growers have lost
heir former civilian markets and are
left with hundreds OF thousands OF
chickens eating their heads off and
running the industry into the red"
