2d.—The interdiction of these localities. 
3d.—The temporary interdiction or the regulation of fairs 
and markets or of the transport and traveling of animals. 
4th.—The disinfection of stables, barns, vehicles or other 
means of transport, the disinfection or even destruction of the 
objects used by diseased animals, or those which had been soiled 
by them, and generally of any objects likely to become a means 
of contagion. 
A regulation of public administration shall determine which 
of these measures shall be applicable, according to the nature 
of the diseases. 
§ 6. When a decree of the Prefect has established the exist¬ 
ence of typhus in a commune, the affected animals, or those of the 
bovine species which had been contaminated, even when they do 
not yet present any apparent sign of the disease, shall be de¬ 
stroyed by order, according to the decision of the official veterin¬ 
arian, and after estimation. 
It is forbidden to arrest the execution of said measures upon 
such diseased animals, except in the cases and under the condi¬ 
tions which would be especially established by the Minister of 
Agriculture, upon the advice of the consulting committee of the 
epizootics. 
§ 7. In the case provided for in the preceding section, diseased 
animals shall be destroyed on the spot, except in the case where 
the transport of the cadaver to the place of burying shall be de¬ 
clared by the veterinarian more dangerous than that of the living 
animal; the transport, in view of killing, may be authorized by 
the Mayor, according to the advice of the official veterinarian, for 
the animals which were contaminated. 
Animals of the ovine and caprine species which have been 
exposed to contagion are to be isolated and submitted to sanitary 
measures, to be determined by the regulation of public adminis¬ 
tration charged with the execution of the law. 
§ 8. In cases of confirmed glanders, and in those of farcy and 
anthrax, if the disease is judged incurable by the official veterin¬ 
arian, the animals must be killed by order of the Mayor. Where 
there is doubt respecting the nature or incurable character of the
