" To prevent the spreading of this disease by the means

 has been deemed expedient to issue the following orders : — 



" 1st. That whenever there are reasons to suspect the ex- 

 istence of the pest, all diseases occurring among cattle shall be 

 carefully watched; and when the least doubt exists as to the 



aature of the affection, the animal shall be killed, and B.post 

 mortem examination made with a view of ascertaining as far 

 as possible the exact nature of its ailment. 



" (a) The disease having been declared suspicious by a 

 medical officer duly appointed for that purpose ; and 



" (6) The local authorities having been informed by the 

 medical officer of his opinion, they shall jointly proceed to 

 value the animal to be slaughtered, according to the manner 

 hereafter described. 



" 2nd. Slaughtering is to be enforced in the Austrian do- 

 minions when the rinderpest already prevails —
