TYPHOID FEVER; OR, CONTAGIOUS INFLUENZA IN THE FIORSE.

Hygienic Measures. —There can be no question as to the 
contagious chaiacter ot tnis disease, and it is, therefore, neces¬ 
sary to isolate all diseased animals, or rather to separate those 
which are not diseased from the sick ones. 
Prof. Trasbot advises as the surest plan of arresting the dis¬ 
ease, to turn all the animals out, and mentions several instances 
to prove its advisability. 
As soon as typhoid fever manifests itself in a stable all well 
animals are better off outside than inside, especially those that 
are young and green, and if they can be given complete free¬ 
dom in a field, straw yard, or open shed, the spread of the dis¬ 
ease will be more completely arrested than by any other 
method, and my experience in this respect is entirely in accord 
with that of Prof. Trasbot. 
As a further precaution it is necessary to thoroughly cleanse 
and disinfect the stables and whitewash, using a small quantity 
of chlorine or carbolic acid in the lime wash. 
Animals after recovery, even after every symptom and mani¬ 
festation of the disease has disappeared, will remain weak and 
unfit for service for several weeks, so that it is not possible nor 
Prudent to expect service from them until it is seen that they 
are strong and well fitted for it. This fact applies to those ani¬ 
mals that have had the disease in a very mild form, quite as 
much as those more seriously affected, so that they should be 
returned to work only after they have manifestly regained their 
accustomed physical vigor.
