Paragraph 3. Heads affected with actinomycosis (lumpy jaw), including the 
tongue, shall be condemned, except that when the disease of the jaw is slight, strictly 
localized, and without suppuration, fistulous tracts, or lymph-gland involvement, 
the tongue if free from disease, may be passed. 
Srction 6. Carcasses of animals affected with, or showing lesions of, any of the 
following named diseases or conditions shall be condemned:

Section 7. Any individual organ or part of a carcass affected with carcinoma 
or sarcoma shall be condemned. In case the carcinoma or sarcoma involves any 
internal organ to a marked extent, or affects the muscles, skeleton, or body lymph 
glands, even primarily, the carcass shall be condemned. In case of metastasis to 
any other organ or part of a carcass, or if metastasis has not occurred but there are 
present secondary changes in the muscles (serous infiltration, flabbiness, or the like), 
the carcass shall be condemned. 
Section 8. Carcasses of animals showing any disease such as generalized melano- 
sis, pseudo-leukemia, and the like, which affects the system of the animal, shall be 
condemned. 
Sxction 9. All slight, well limited abrasions on the tongue and inner surface of the 
lips and mouth, when without lymph-gland involvement, shall be carefully excised, 
leaving only sound, normal tissue, which may be passed. Any organ or part of a car- 
cass which is badly bruised or which is affected by a tumor, an abscess, or a suppu- 
rating sore, shall be condemned; and when the lesions are of such character or extent 
as to affect the whole carcass, the whole carcass shall be condemned. Parts of car- 
casses which are contaminated by pus shall be condemned. 
Srcrion 10. All carcasses of animals so infected that consumption of the meat 
or meat food products thereof may give rise to meat poisoning shall be condemned. 
This includes all carcasses showing signs of either— 
(a) Acute inflammation of the lungs, pleura, pericardium, peritoneum, or meninges. 
(b) Septicemia or pyemia, whether puerperal, traumatic, or without any evident 
cause.

hyperemia, general swelling of lymph glands, or diffuse redness of the skin, either 
singly or in combination. 
Immediately after the slaughter of any animal so diseased, the premises and imple- 
ments used shall be thoroughly disinfected as prescribed elsewhere in these regulations. 
The part of any carcass coming into contact with the carcass or any part of the car- 
cass of any anima] covered by this section, other than those affected with the diseases 
mentioned in (a) above, or with the place where such diseased animal was slaughtered, 
or with the implements used in the slaughter thereof, before thorough disinfection 
of such place and implements has been accomplished, or with any other contaminated 
object, shall be condemned. In case the contaminated part is not removed from the 
carcass within two hours after such contact the whole carcass shall be condemned. 
Section 11. From the standpoint of meat inspection, necrobacillosis (lip-and-leg 
ulceration) may be regarded as a local affection at the beginning, and carcasses in 
which the lesions are so localized may be passed for food if in a good state of nutrition, 
after removing and condemning those portions affected with necrotic lesions. On the
