VAGINAL CATARRH. 317 



Prevention, As has already been stated, it is a contagious 

 disease, and to prevent its spread, isolation, or separation 

 "will have to be adopted. 



Ei)izootic influenza in the horse, and pleuro-pneumonia 

 in cattle, took twenty-one years to travel from Europe to 

 the United States. Now, should contagious typhus in 

 cattle travel at the same rate, we may ex[)ect to hear of it 

 about 1886. This disease broke out in England, in June, 

 1865, and in one year it destroyed two hundred and fifty 

 thousand, eight hundred and seventy-five (250,875,) head 

 of cattle. About thirty-three thousand, two hundred and 

 thirty-five (33,235,) recovered ; all the others died, or were 

 killed to prevent contagion, and spread of tiie disease. To 

 enter into a history of this disease would take up more 

 time and space than can be afforded, and would only be a 

 rehearsal of what is already recorded in regard to the 

 visitation upon English cattle in 1865. For an English 

 history of this disease in all parts of the world, the reader 

 is referred to a work of eight to nine hundred pages by 

 Professor Gamgee, published in London. In this work 

 much printed matter is discernible, but there is a great 

 scarcity of information. Parliamentary reports, an Order 

 from Privy Council, letters, editorials and suggestions 

 that had been contained in the London Times , together 

 with the reports and actions of the International Veterinary 

 Congress, held on the Continent of Europe, go to make up 

 this large book.
