"From the Report I conclude that the disease is a malignant form of typhoid or catarrhal fever "which is probably of a contagious nature. Medical treatment is not likely to be effectual; and, as "in all virulent diseases of animals, experience proves that the most economical system of dealing with "an outbreak is to slaughter all the diseased animals without delay, and effectually destroy the carcases, "together with the manure, fodder, and other things which have been contaminated with the excreta. "Animals which have been in contact with those suffering from the discase should be carefully watched "for some time."

"Fumigation with sulphur should be used in sheds which have been inhabited by discased or suspected animals. After which the places should be thoroughly washed with hot water and then 66 coated with limewash."
