FOOT AND MOUTH DISEASE

POSITION OF U.S.A. NO LIFTING OF EMBARGO "I have just received from an authoritative quarter in the U.S.A. a letter on the foot-and-mouth situation/’ writes the London correspondent of “Country Life” under date March 8. “This communication states that far rather than a lifting of the embargo against countries where the disease exists, in the matter of dead meat imports, there is more likely to be a tightening up in this direction if that is possible. “Dr. McClure, for the National Woolgrowers’ Association of America, has asked that it be written into the law

iat no meat can be brought into the U.S.A. from any country in which the disease prevails. He has considerable backing, and he is likely to succeed with his suggestion. If this goe3 through, the responsibility of action will free an individual Minister (secretary) of a department, and it will become part of the law of the land. “The discovery of the disease in

Los Angeles County recently has knocked on the head any possibility of the trusts wielding their power for their own ends. The outbreak above mentioned was discovered on January 18, 1929, and on February 6 had affected a total of four herds within an eight-mile radius. The spread of the infection in the last instance was traced to a calf buyer, who visited the premises. “A very rigid Federal and State quarantine has been, and is being, maintained over a considerable area surrounding the farms o.a which the infection was found. This scare is going to have a profound effect, and you may take it that the chances ar,e that the lifting of the embargo is a very remote possibility for a period of time, which may easily see the present President again a private citizen—this to use the phrase of my correspondent.”

GROWN UP WITH “BAXTER’S” A LIFE-LONG FRIEND A splendid testimonial for Baxter’s Lung Preserver was given the other evening, when a conversation was overheard between two men in a tramcar. One of the men quite evidently had a bad cold, and had asked his friend’s advice as to the best thing to do. ‘ Take my advice, old man,” said his friend, “and buy a bottle of Baxter’s Lung Preserver. Right from a little lad I can remember my mother always had this fine old specific in the house. In fact, I have grown up with ‘Baxter’s,’ and it has proved a good friend to me. I wouldn't be without it for quids. Once you have tried it you will agree with me I feel sure.’’

“Baxter’s” is a rich, red, warming, soothing compound that does good from the first dose. Besides being a splendid remedy for easing sore throats, coughs, colds and chest ailments, it possesses unique tonic properties that help to build up the system. It is unequalled for warding off influenza. You can get a generous-sized bottle of Baxter’s Lung Preserver at any chemist or store for 2s 6d. Family people will do better to purchase the economical size at 4s Gd. For bachelors there is the eighteenpenny bottle.
