69 7 
ture not higher than 102°, were tested by an injection of tuber¬ 
culin, and all but 20, 5 of whom were cows and the rest year¬ 
lings, “reacted,” the elevation of temperature ranging from 103° 
to 107.5 0 . 
The high percentage of cattle reacting in this instance 
caused the post mortem examinations to be looked forward to 
with considerable interest. Seventy-two of the worst were taken 
to a convenient place and slaughtered, and post mortem examin¬ 
ations made by Dr. Curtice, of the State Board of Health, I being 
present in the interest of Mr. Hawley. Tubercular lesions were 
found in all the animals, with the exception of two, in which no 
microscopical evidence of tuberculosis could be detected. The 
majority of the animals were affected either in the mediastinal 
glands or mesenteric glands, only a few having pulmonary 
lesions of any extent, and, except in two, or possibly three 
cases, the most careful physical examination would have failed 
to detect the lesions. 
The question that naturally presents itself is what course the 
State Board of Health will pursue with regard to the further 
testing and destroying of cattle in this State. In justice to the 
public they cannot allow the matter to rest at this point, the 
natural inference being that other herds may be as extensively 
involved, possibly more so. 
Yours truly,
