FOOT-AND-MOUTH-DISEASE SYMPTOMS. Of all animal diseases that we have knowledge of, foot-and-mouth disease is believed to be the most infectious It causes tremendous losses to the agricultural interests of every country It invades. It spreads very rapidly and extensively, causing tl»o entire loss of export trade in live animals sad the interruption of domestic commerce. Tka disease commences with a high faver, followed by inflammation of the membranes of the tongue and those lining the mouth, also of the sensitive structures in the hoof. This is quickly followed by the formation of blisters on the*e P«mhW">s, varying in •Ue from that of a pea to that of a hazelnut, Tbtee blisters »1«q appear an the udder and along the top of the hoof, also in the eleft dividing the hoof. They may be present in all these membranes in the same animal, or may appear only in the mouth, or may be limited to theibsoft. The symptoms are very characteristic. The irritation of the membranes in the mouth remlU in lou of »ppetite, and dribbling of saliva from the mouth, which, owing to constant movement *>f the lips and tongue, becomes frothy, and adheres tg the corner* of flu mouth and mu»?ie.
