OF THE OX. 139 



broken-up remains also the stables, vehicles, 

 and implements which have served for their 

 use, and all matters or substances which have 

 touched them or approached them are gene- 

 rative elements of the distemper. 



5th. That the typhic miasma, thus repro- 

 duced and multiplied in one place under the 

 influence of all these producing causes, is 

 conveyed by the winds to great distances, 

 smiting those well guarded cattle which ap- 

 peared to be fully protected from the possi- 

 bility of infection by their isolation. 



6th. That the want of prompt and stringent 

 measures first to concentrate, and then to 

 stifle this typhus in its focus; the love of 

 lucre, the perfidy of some, and the absence of 

 foresight and caution in others, may be, and 

 have been in the particular' cases which we are 

 dealing with, material causes and agencies of 

 its diffusion. 



Such we consider to be the causes which 

 engender and propagate cattle typhus, and 

 which will serve as a basis for the preventive 

 measures to be employed in order to withstand 

 and check its propagation.
