Note to the Teacher.—The term infection means the 
entrance of living micro-organisms into the body of an 
animal and their multiplication therein. Following such 
infection a local or general diseased condition results that 
may produce death. The general diseases described in 
this lesson will indicate how infections are caused, the 
kind and nature of the invading organisms, and more 
common symptoms that are manifested when animals 
are infected. ‘The teacher will do well to emphasize the 
importance of guarding against infections and of using 
radical measures when such outbreaks occur or are 
prevalent in the community.
