  The 
  discovery 
  that 
  " 
  foul 
  brood 
  ." 
  is 
  a 
  distinct 
  bacterial 
  dis- 
  

   ease 
  requiring 
  careful 
  and 
  radical 
  treatment 
  to 
  prevent 
  its 
  spread- 
  

   ing, 
  has 
  caused 
  several 
  States 
  and 
  Canada 
  to 
  pass 
  laws 
  for 
  its 
  sup- 
  

   pression.
