other hand, when emaciation, cloudy swelling of the glandular organs, or enlargement 
and discoloration of the lymph glands are associated with the affection, it is evident 
that the disease has progressed beyond the condition of localization to a state of 
toxemia, and the entire carcass should therefore be condemned as both innutritious 
and noxious. Septicemia or pyemia may intervene as a complication of the local 
necrosis, and when present the carcass shall be condemned in accordance with section 6 
(ce, d) of this regulation. 
Section 12. When extensive lesions of caseous lymphadenitis, with or without 
pleuritic adhesions, are found in the lungs, or if several of the visceral organs contain 
caseous nodules and the carcass is emaciated, the carcass shall be condemned. When 
the lesions of caseous lymphadenitis are limited to the superficial glands or to a few 
nodules in an organ, involving also the adjacent lymph glands, and the carcass is 
well nourished, the meat may be passed after the affected parts are removed and 
condemned. 
Section 13. Carcasses showing any degree of icterus with a parenchymatous 
degeneration of organs, the result of infection or intoxication, and those which show 
an intense yellow or greenish yellow discoloration without evidence of infection 
or intoxication, shall be condemned. Carcasses affected with icterus, the result of 
conditions other than those before stated in this section, but which lose such discolora- 
tion on chilling, shall be passed for food, while those which do not so lose such dis- 
coloration may be passed for sterilization. No carcass affected with icterus may be 
passed for food or for sterilization unless the final inspection thereof is completed under 
natural light. 
Section 14. Carcasses which give off the odor of urine or a sexual odor shall be 
condemned. When the final inspection of such carcasses is deferred until they have 
been chilled, the disposal shall be determined by the heating test. 
Section 15. Paragraph 1. Carcasses of animals affected with mange or scab in 
advanced stages, or showing emaciation or extension of the inflammation to the flesh, 
shall be condemned. When the disease is slight, the carcass may be passed. 
Paragraph 2. Carcasses of hogs affected with urticaria (diamond skin disease), 
Tinea tonsurans, Demodex folliculorum, or erythema may be passed after detaching the 
affected skin, if the carcass is otherwise fit for food. 
Section 16. Paragraph 1. Carcasses of cattle (including the viscera) infested 
with tapeworm cysts known as Cysticercus bovis shall be condemned if the infestation 
is excessive or if the meat is watery or discolored. Carcasses shall be considered 
excessively infested if incisions in various parts of the musculature expose on most of 
the cut surfaces two or more cysts within an area the size of the palm of the hand. 
Paragraph 2. Carcasses of cattle showing a slight infestation, that is, not to exceed 
ten cysts, as determined by a careful examination of the heart, muscles of mastication, 
tongue, diaphragm and its pillars, and of portions of the carcass rendered visible by 
the process of dressing, may be passed for food after removal and condemnation of 
the cysts, with the surrounding tissues, provided the carcasses and parts, appropriately 
identified by retained tags, are held in cold storage or pickle for not less than twenty- 
one days under conditions which will insure proper preservation; and provided, 
further, that if the temperature at which such carcasses and parts are held in cold 
storage does not exceed 15° F., the period of retention may be reduced to six days. 
Carcasses which show no cysts except in the heart may be passed for food after reten- 
tion in cold storage or pickle as above provided, irrespective of the number of cysts 
in the heart. : 
Paragraph 3. Carcasses of cattle showing a moderate infestation, that is, a greater 
number ‘of cysts than mentioned in paragraph 2, but which are not so extensively 
infested as indicated in paragraph 1, of this section, may be passed for sterilization. 
In case such carcasses are not sterilized as required by regulation 15, they shall be 
condemned. ened . 
Paragraph 4. Fats of carcasses passed for food or for sterilization under the provi- 
sions of paragraphs 2 and 3 may be passed for food provided they are melted at a 
temperature of not less than 140° F. The edible viscera, except the lungs and heart, 
of carcasses passed for food or for sterilization under the provisions of paragraphs 2 
and 3 may be passed for food without refrigeration or other process of sterilization 
provided they are found to be free from infestation upon final inspection. The in-
