PLEURO-PNEUMONIA.
The veterinary editor of the North British Agriculturalist says on this subject:—“ Even with such skilful and experienced operators as Mr Rutherford and Mr Watson, and notwithstanding the use of properly selected virus, two or three per cent, of the cows operated on lose their tails. A certain smaller proportion arc affected with blood poisoning and a few actually die. From causes not yet explained, some animals operated on are not protected against the disease. Still another objection has been urged to inoculation. The artificially produced disorder may generate virus which, it is stated, may suffice to set up the unmodified disease in all its contagious activity. It is only amongst herds where the disease has already appeared, or amongst animals believed to have been exposed to contagion, that inoculation can be justified.”
