HEMOEKHAGIC SEPTICEMIA OR SWINE PLAGUE. 



On July 21, Laie Plantation reported an oiitbeak of disease among their 

 hogs. Nine had already died, the remaining 'ones were sick and show- 

 ing symptoms strongly indicating swine plague. 



Upon arrival I found 15 young hogs exhibiting varying symptoms of 

 swine plague. Two were so far gone that they were unable to rise. 

 They were all given a curative dose of Jensen-Salsbery Mixed Infections 

 Bacterins for Swine and the owner was instructed to give them per- 

 manganate of potash in the drinking water and to clean and disinfect 

 the pens. 



On July 23, I again examined these hogs and found them in as healthy 

 a condition as one could wish. Full appetites and running around as if 

 they had never been sick. No more deaths had occurred and the out- 

 break had been brought to an abrupt end. 



This was an excellent demonstration of the value of these bacterins 

 for without them every one of those hogs would have died. It also 

 clearly demonstrates the necessity of keeping on hand fresh supplies of 

 bacterins and vaccines for just such emergencies. 



Respectfully submitted, 



VICTOR A. NORGAARD, 



Territorial Veterinarian.
