APPENDIX II 555 
Rule C. Carcasses showing lesions of tuberculosis should be passed for food 
when the lesions are slight, localized, and calcified or encapsulated, or are limited to a 
single or several parts or organs of the body (except as noted in Rule A), and there is 
no evidence of recent invasion of tubercle bacilli into the systemic circulation. 
Under this rule carcasses showing such lesions as the following may be passed, after 
the parts containing the lesions are removed and condemned in accordance with Rule B: 
(a) In the cervical lymph glands and two groups of visceral lymph glands in a single 
body cavity. such as the cervical, bronchial, and mediastinal glands, or the cervical, 
hepatic, and mesenteric glands. 
(b) In the cervical lymph glands and one group of visceral lymph glands and one 
organ in a single body cavity, such as the cervical and bronchial glands and the lungs 
or the cervical and hepatic glands and the liver. 
(c) In two groups of visceral lymph glands and one organ in a single body cavity, 
such as the bronchial and mediastinal glands and the lungs, or the hepatic and mesen- 
teric glands and the liver. 
(d) In two groups of visceral lymph glands in the thoracic cavity and one group 
in the abdominal cavity, or in one group of visceral lymph glands in the theracic 
cavity and two groups in the abdominal cavity, such as the bronchial, mediastinal, 
and hepatic glands, or the bronchial, hepatic, and mesenteric glands. 
(e) In the cervical lymph glands and one group of visceral lymph glands in each body 
cavity, such as the cervical, bronchial, and hepatic glands. 
(f) In the cervical lymph glands and one group of visceral lymph glands in each 
body cavity, together with the liver when the latter contains but few localized foci. 
In this class of carcasses, which will be chiefly those of hogs, the lesions of the liver 
are considered to be primary, as the disease is practically always of alimentary origin. 
Rule D. Carcasses which reveal Jesions more severe or more numerous than 
those described for carcasses to be passed (Rule C), but not so severe nor so numerous 
as the lesions described for carcasses to be condemned (Rule A), may be rendered 
into lard or tallow or otherwise sterilized in accordance with regulation 15, if the distri- 
bution of the lesions is such that all parts containing tuberculous lesions can be re- 
moved. 
Section 4. Paragraph 1. The carcasses of all hogs marked as suspects on ante- 
mortem inspection shall be given careful post-mortem inspection, and if it appears 
that they are affected with either acute hog cholera or swine plague, they shall be con- 
demned. 
Paragraph 2. Carcasses of hogs which show acute and characteristic lesions of 
either hog cholera or swine plague in any organ or tissue, other than the kidneys or 
lymph glands, shall be condemned. Inasmuch as lesions resembling lesions of hog 
cholera or swine plague occur in the kidneys and lymph glands of hogs not affected 
with either hog cholera or swine plague, carcasses of hogs in the kidneys or lymph 
glands of which appear any lesions resembling lesions of either hog cholera or swine 
plague shall be carefully further inspected for corroborative lesions. On such further 
inspection— 
(a) If the carcass shows such lesions in the kidneys or in the lymph glands or in 
both, accompanied by characteristic lesions in some other organ or tissue, then all 
lesions shall be regarded as those of hog cholera or swine plague, and the carcass 
shal] be condemned. 
(6) If the carcass shows in any organ or tissue, other than the kidneys or lymph 
glands, lesions of either hog cholera or swine plague, which are slight and limited in 
extent, it shall be passed for sterilization in accordance with regulation 15. ; 
(c) If the carcass shows no indication of either hog cholera or swine plague in any 
organ or tissue other than the kidneys or lymph glands, it shall be passed for food, 
unless some other provision of these regulations requires a different disposal. . 
Section 5. Paragraph 1. Carcasses of animals showing generalized actinomycosis 
shall be condemned. . Pt : 
Paragraph 2. Carcasses of animals in a well-nourished condition showing uncom- 
plicated localized actinomycotic lesions may be passed after the infected organs 
or parts have been removed and condemned, except as provided in paragraph 3 of this 
section.
