Phlebitis of the umbilical veins; Traumatic peri- 
carditis; Any acute inflammation, abscess or sup- 
purating sore, if associated with acute nephritis, 
fatty and degenerated liver, swollen and soft 
spleen, marked pulmonary hyperemia, general 
swelling of lymph glands, or diffuse redness of the 
skin. 
Carcinoma. An organ affected with carcinoma 
or sarcoma must be condemned, but the carcass 
may be passed unless the disease affects any inter- 
nal organ to a marked extent, or affects the 
muscles, skeleton or body lymph glands, or the 
body shows secondary changes in the muscles. 
Localized conditions. All slight, well limited 
abrasions on the tongue and inner surface of the 
lips (without lymphatic involvement), suppurat- 
ing sores, abscesses, bruised tissue, or parts af- 
fected by a tumor, must be removed, and in the 
absence of other indication the carcass may be 
passed. 
Necrobacilliosis. Localized lesions may be re- 
moved and the carcass passed, unless there is evi- 
dence of a generalized infection, when the carcass 
must be condemned. 
Caseous lymphadenitis. Where the lesions are 
distinetly local, and superficial, or confined to a 
few nodules in an organ the carcass may be passed 
after removal of diseased parts; but where the 
disease is more extensive the entire carcass must 
be condemned. 
Icterus. Careasses showing icterus must be 
generally condemned; but where there is no paren- 
chymatous degeneration of organs, such parts as 
lose their coloration on chilling may be preserved,
