Warming Issued On
Sleeping Sickness

A warning against the approach
ing dangers of sleeping sickness
in horses and mules was issued to-
day by the American Foundation
for Animal Health.
This condition is spread by bit
ing insects, and with build-up in
insect numbers occurring now be-
cause of warmer weather, prompt
action should be taken to protect
horses and mules against this dis
ease" the Foundation says.
Vaccination by veterinarians is
the only sure way of preventing
the disease. Horses of all ages
should be vaccinated each year,
since firm protection lasts for only
one season. IL addition to the vac
cination program, veterinary medi-
cal officials suggest keeping the
animals away from low, swampy
areas and instituting good insect
control programs.
THE symptoms of sleeping sick
ness resemble those of heat stroke,
rabies and some other ailments,
making an accurate veterinary di-
agnosis of great Importance, the
Foundation says.
Losses may run as high as so
percent in a group of unvaccinated
animals. Afflicted horses and mules
should be isolated under insect
free conditions so mosquitoes and
other carriers cannot spread the
disease further"

but Bob Maddux didn't have
