, bacilli into the systemic circulation. Carcasses 
revealing lesions more severe or more numerous 
may be rendered into lard or tallow if the distribu- 
tion is such that the tuberculous lesions can be 
removed. 
Hog cholera or swine plague. Carcasses of hogs 
marked as suspicious in antemortem examination 
must be carefully examined post mortem, and if 
found afflicted with acute hog cholera or with 
swine plague they must be condemned. But if 
the carcass shows no indications of either of these 
diseases except in the kidneys or lymph glands it 
may be passed for food. If it shows lesions slight 
in extent in other organs it may be passed for 
sterilization. 
Actinomycosis. Carcasses showing general ac- 
tinomycosis must be condemned. Those well nour- 
ished, and showing uncomplicated localized acti- 
nomycosis may be passed after removal of diseased 
parts. Heads so affected must be condemned ex- 
cept perhaps in cases where the lesion is slight, 
and strictly localized. 
General Diseases. Careasses must be con- 
demned for the following diseases or conditions : 
Blackleg, Hemorraghic septicemia, Pyemia,
