must not forget that in all outbreaks of this nature the rule is 
to exaggerate and magnify the dangers. So far as we have 
been able to learn there has been and no doubt are still a few 
solated cases of the malady, and, fortunately, of a mild char¬

to be transmitted to other animals we can scarcely believe. 
Phis statement, however, may be opposed by other views, 
notwithstanding it is a well established fact that horses are 
nften found in stables with cattle seriously afflicted with an-

inthrax, or what is better known as splenic apoplexia, is due 
:o a form of bacilli different from that which affects the equine. 
The only remedy for this malady is isolation and vaccination;

-ecommend but urge upon all who may be afflicted by the 
trouble to procure the services of a veterinarian and have the 
entire herd, with others in the immediate vicinity, vaccinated.”
