great weight in shaping future legislation in this matter ; there¬ 
fore, I believe that there should be a meeting of the State 
Veterinarians and Sanitary Boards of the different States, who 
are conversant with the pathology of the various plagues (hog 
cholera, Texas fever, contagious pleuro-pneumonia and glanders) 
which at present afflict the domestic animals in many parts of the 
United States, and after a full discussion of the vagaries of con¬ 
tagion and the means by which these plagues are spread, make a 
report to the convention, demonstrating to them the nature and 
peculiar characteristics of these plagues, the manner of their 
spread, and all the means necessary to eradicate or control them. 
Owing to the conflicting sanitary regulations of the different 
States, the cattle traffic during the past year suffered much 
embarrassment, and entailed on shippers heavy losses; hence the 
necessity for an intelligent discussion of this matter by the State 
Veterinarians and Sanitary Boards, which may serve to remove 
many of the obstructions to commerce, by the adoption of a 
uniform sanitary code. 
Believing that the best interests of our profession will be 
served, and that the people engaged in the transportation of stock 
will be benefltted by such meeting, I most earnestly urge you to 
attend at Grand Pacific Hotel, Chicago, Ill., November 16th and 
17th, 1885.
