PLEURO-PNEUMONIA CONTAGIOSA. 



This disease exists to a certain extent in several of the 

 Eastern States of America, as New York, New Jersey, Dela- 

 ware, Maryland, Pennsylvania, and in the neighbourhood of 

 the city of \yashington ; and has prevailed more particularly 

 about Long Island, and has recently been reported to exist in 

 Ohio, Kentucky, and Tennessee; but is unknown in the far 

 Western States of America, or in the Dominion of Canada. 

 The disease has long prevailed in Eastern countries, and has 

 inflicted untold losses upon the people of those countries. 

 Pleuro-pneumonia has been known in Central Europe for 

 more than two hundred years, but was confined to one part 

 for a long period. War, however, occurring, caused it to 

 become pretty widely spread ; and owing to the increase of 

 commerce and traffic it has since become spread far and 

 near throughout the countries of the earth. It invaded 

 Kussia and Holland in the year 1802; Prussia, in 1824; 

 England, in 1841, where it has never since ceased to exist 

 to a greater or less extent. The disease was first recognised 

 in Australia and the United States in the year 1843.
