Dr. Hertwig entertained little doubts as to the 

 existence of the disease. 



Finally, it was put to the vote, when it was de- 

 cided by a large majority, that the disease* should 

 be added to the list of those which were to be placed 

 under State supervision. 



Then came the question, whether Catarrhal fever, 

 also called Head disease (in common parlance, cold 

 in the head), ought to be placed under Government 

 super-inspection, then hydatid disease of the brain in 

 sheep, then measles in pigs, &c. At last, the first 

 International Congress of Veterinary Surgeons 

 finished up with a grand, and I regret to say, 

 lengthy discussion upon sheep pox. 



In August, 1865, took place a second Congress at 

 Vienna. 



The first question discussed was Hydrophobia and 

 the keeping of dogs. 



Dr. Von Helm said, that with regard to the keep- 

 ing ofdogs, the Municipal Council had been engaged 

 during several years devising measures, and would 

 some time ago have come to a decision ; but it was 

 anxious not to exact too much on the one hand, and 

 also from the great importance of the subject not to 

 treat it even apparently superficially, &c. 



Then came a long discussion about dogs. 



The next question was Rinderpest. 



The President proposed that Councillor of State 

 Unterberg, Land Veterinarian Werner and Medical 



* I need hardly say that there is no such disease.
