ANTHRAX. 



,\nthi"ax in cattle is an iiilections disease which is caused by bacteria, or germs 

 kncun as anthrax haccili. AVdiile Anthrax is scimewhaf: limited to cattle and sheep, 

 it may be transmitted tn nther animals, liiit ponltry arc immune. 



It is a dan.yerdtis disease, owiiiL;- to the fact that man is susceptible to it and 

 is sometimes infected by remuving the hide from animals which have died from 

 this disease. 



A\dien cattle are afflicted with this disease there is usually a high fever; the 

 temperature may nm from 106 to 107 degrees; the pulse beats from 80 to 100 

 beats per minute; the_\" quit chewdng their cud, and ha\c an anxious look upon 

 their contenanee ; they are soon taken with chills; the ears and horns are cold, 

 and the coat staring. 



The animals appear dull and stupid, and manifest great weakness. There is 

 Ldiamping of the jaws, spasms of the limbs, kicking and pawing the ground. They 

 usually breathe hard, and the nostrils become distended, the mouth opened, and 

 the head raised. The mucous membrane of the nose and mouth become blueisb. 

 Thev usually manifest their pain by moaning and groaning. In the last stages of 

 the disease, blood usually oozes from the moutli, nose and bowels. 



The use of Anthrax Vaccine as a preventative for stock against a subsequent 

 I attack of ^Vntlirax is advisable, but owing to the fact that this A^accine contains 

 anthra.x baccillus, wdiich though having been modihed may ha\'c power to take 

 on its original destructive power, too much stress cannot be laid upon the necessity 

 of ha\ing the Vaccine administered by one who thoroughly understands the 

 detailed comlitions of the case in question.
