idleness, or desire to get a warbled beast sold at the price of a good

knowledge the evil could not fail to be lessened ; and I should be happy, 
whether for private use or for distribution, to continue to forward to 
applicants copies of my leaflets on Warble attack ; also on the condition 
known as “ Licked beef” arising from bad Warble presence ; and the 
means found serviceable in lessening these troubles, namely, Warble 
presence and its consequences. 
The following letter with which I was favoured on the 12tli of 
March, by Mr. Clias. Crossland, Treasurer of the Halifax and District 
Butchers’ Association, gives some very suggestive observations on 
injury to meat from Warble presence, and the “jelly” or slubber 
accompanying; and the need of more widespread information as to 
the nature of the infestation.
