MEASLES. 



Measles is one of the most common diseases, which 

 hogs are subject to. The eruptions of this disease in the 

 hog has a striking resemblance, to the same disease on the 

 human skin. 



CAUSES : — Tt is usually caused from a parasite taken 

 into the stomach while eating. This parasite after being 

 taken into the stomach, soon develops into worms, which 

 find their way into the muscles of the hog throughout the 

 entire system, and form cysts about the size of a grain of 

 wheat. The flesh of hogs that have measles, should never 

 be eaten by the human family, or fed to any dumb brute 

 For unless the flesh is thoroughly cooked with sufficient heat 

 to destroy the parasite, tape-worm is invariably the result, 

 and develops in a short time, from ten to sixty feet in 

 length in the human bowel. Measles in hogs are hereditary, 

 also contagious. 



SYMPTOMS:— Eyes red and running; cough, dis- 

 charge from the nose, depression of spirits, decline, or total 

 departure of the appetite ; weakness of the hind legs, small 

 watery pustules about the throat, and reddish purple erup- 

 tions on the various parts of the skin. The last are more 

 plainly visible after death.
