BOVINE VIRUS.
J
An I itereUnjf Description.
Cleveland Plain Dealer.
Thinking it w,ould interest the pub
lic to -know 4ioiv bavinWvirua is ob
tained, a Plain TDealer-tepresentative
visited Dr. J. Pettet at his vaccine farm
on Matfleld street, in East Cleveland,
was coraiany receiveu auu buuwuwuk
the 2ta?m and stables, the IJoetor ex
plaining as they went. Everything
was arranged in the most convenient
manner possible and kept in the best
of order,
"Doctor, if it Is not a secret, will you
please explain jour method? pf propa
gating vaccine jvirus ; t . S ? . ?
Dr.TPettet replied : "Darhsg the first
four years of my vaccine experience I
used heifer calves exclusively, select
ing the best I could find. I found con
siderable difficulty in getting proper
supplies and in feeding them. After
considerable study of the subject I
fillftd a atabte withnewjnilch cowswith
which to iucklej tnein.i Thi J soon
found impraclicaDlevitoutflrsi vac
cinating the eoWtr&r&salf es, nf thus
I gtadaally 8bondOn0d tbe fcsefcf calves
almost entirely, and for'the last six or
seven years have used milch cows al
most exclusively. This I believe to be
the natural seat of the disease. I be
lieve the use of calves, especially if top
young, results in the degeneration of
the vaccine disease and the destruction
of what is known among propagators
as a strawbery excresence. My person
al process is very 'simple. In order to
secure ail theyaccine when mature,
and to be able to make neat work, the
most available, parts of the milk gland
and adjacent to it are shaved closely
and sponged off clean. Then, with a
sharp lancet, the surface is covered
with small scarifications like this
i i
about an inch apart, giving a chess
board appearance, thus: :

Into these little cut surfaces a small
quantity of warm fluid lymphy, taken
direct from an Animal in the next stall,
is then gently but thoroughly and per
sistently rubbed until the operator is
satisfied that the operation has been
successful. The animal is then re
moved from the operating stall and
placed upon an elevated platform with
proper accommodations and allowed to
remain comfortably situated until the
disease reaches its critical stage, when
she is again placed in the operating
stall. This is generally seven days
from the time of the first operation. At
this time the points of insertion of the
vaccinia has been swollen and elevated
and have assumed the appearance of a
blister with a small brown spot in the
center, which-is depressed. The Cover
ing of this blister or vesicle is then
punctured or even - removed. This
crives onoortunitT to trather the limpid
contents of the vesicle upon small
ivorv sDatulas very similar in size and
shape to a common pen-knife blade.
The serum or vaccine lymph, as it is
called continues to be secreted for
some time afterward, and finally the
secretion becomes thickened and gum
my, clogging up the vessels and drying
down into what is known as scale crust
or scale. This is hard and firm enough
to remove in from four to eight days
later, at which time it consists of hair
epithelium, cell membrane and other
foreign material, in addition to the
small quantity of dry lymphy. For this
reason you see how much better the
ivory points (as they are called) should
be considered."
"Do you produce more than one scab
on a cow?
'I usually raise from six to twelve,
and in exceptional cases even eighteen
; l n
Kin uuo am ixicu.
"Does the inoculation always 'take'
on the animal?"
"The inoculation does not always
take, but my failures in this respect are
decreasing each year, so that failures
are with me now very rare (excep
tional);' "After a cow has once been inocula
ted is it afterward capable of producing
virus? If so, after how long a time?"
"This is a hard qustion to answer.
With eleven years' experience, I am
still in doubt, but am inclined to the
opinion that the animal is only partly
susceptible to the disease after the one
inoculation. I am of this opinion be
cause I have given some animals re
peated trials and with great care, and
nave been successful in every attempt
if the first one was a failure. I have
never tried upon one where the first
operation was successful."
"What is the effect of inoculation
upon a cow? Is it rendered unfit to
give milk during the working of the
virus in its system T
"About the fifth day she becomes
slightly feverish, winks more freely
and eats less. About the ninth day the
milk decreases in quantity and remains
thus for about two or three days, dur
ing which time it seems to be much
richer in cream. Otherwise I have not
detected any change in the milk. About
the thirteenth day the cow seems to be
well, and begins to eat freely and fat
tens rapidly."
"What quantity of virus can be ob
tained, or is generally obtained from
one heifer?"
"I have never made any careful esti
mate, but Dr. Wilde, of England, who
has, gives the average as 200 points to
each calf. The cow being the natural
seat of the disease, gives considerable
more, besides having more ground upon
which to plant." , . -;
"Is any breed of cattle better than
another for the propagation of vaccine
virus?"
"The finest milkers are the best for
my use. One of my friends who is in
the same business prefers Jerseys. I
prefer Ayresbire and Durhams, some
thing which has a large, square, flat
surf ace above and adjacent to the ud
der." W J-! U ' j.
"From what extent orcountry do
you receive applications fex virus?"
"China on one side, England on an
other, Central America on another, and
British Columbia and Canada on the
north, Texas and every approachable
corner within these boundaries."

sian quills seem to be he finest. On ac
count of the, inconvenience in hand
ling, preparing, shipping and using
quills, i only put them up to order and
in times of leisure,; Capillary tubes of
fluid lymph are filled direct from the
animal, and hermetically sealed at
once. On account of their unreliability,
I have not prepared any, for about six
years. I have here about 10,000 empty
ones, you see, which will never be fill
ed. The dry scab is cut in small pieces
and hermetically sealed in glass tubes.
This I abandoned some years since, on
account of its unreliability. Solid dry
scabs are carefully cut up into pieces
weighing one, two or three grains, and
mounted on gutta pereha plates at 81
per grain. Many are sold, but these are
now being superceded by dry pulveriz
ed crust, which is much more conven
ient; and also much more to be depend
ed upon, being second to points only.
This form is the latest improvement
and is giving excellent results. The
course of vaccine disease ought to be
well understood by every physician,
but I find there is still much ignorance
upon the subject even among well in
formed physicians. During the first
three days after; ' vaccination there
ought to be little or no result apparent
except such as ' follows; the Use of the
knife.- On the fourth day a small pim
ple can be felt; -sometimes this cannot
be discovered for two or three days
later-' On the fifth day the pimple has
become larger, and on the sixth day ap-
pears a little round blister about the
diameter of a pea. On the seventh day
this has a small dark spot in the center,
which gradually becomes larger, until
on the ninth day the whole pocket ex
cept the margin has the appearance of
a scab with a hollowpoint in the center.
On the thirteenth day the patient is
sometimes covered with a rash resemb
ling scarlet fever. This is a part of the
disease and ought not to be mistaken
for erysipelas nor treated by iodine or
other external application for fear of
the disease changing its location to
some internal organ, such as lungs or
brain, and perhaps causing death. This
rash soon goes away of itself, leaving
the patient safer from small-pox than if
he had had it. The scab dries downfalls
off and leaves the 'scar with which
every one is familiar. In people who
have once been vaccinated the vacine
runs a shorter course and sometimes a
very imperfect one."
"How mucn virus nave you produced
this and other seasons? How much
greater is the demand in winter than in
summer? Why does small-pox flourish
most in cold weather?"
"The last year, ending Oct. 31, 1881,
was a very busy one for me, but from
that time until the present I have sold
just twice as much vaccine as during
the twelve months preceding. The
small-pox season generally begins
about the middle of October. I suppose
the reason to be that at that time the
heavier clothing necessary to autumn
weather is exhumed from trunks and
closets where they were placed in the
spring before, with perhaps some
small-pox effluvium. During the even
ing some friend comes in, and in the
warm room the small pox is circulated
around gratis, and some one gets it.
The windows and doors are kept clos
ed, and every one wno comes in gets a
good dose, and it soon bears fruit In
summer it is warm enough to keep
windows and doors open, and ventila
tion and safety are secured. There is
another theory why we have more
small-pox in winter. The early frost
may chill the skin, causing the disease
to start without other cause. I have no
opinion in reference to the theory, but
give it for study. Thorough ventila
tion I believe to be the best prevent
ive of small-pox, except, of course,
vaccination. The country is certainly
filled with small-pox thisyear.for every
propagator of vaccine in the country is
urningout large quantities. The new
men in the business are not doing
much; for in time of danger like this
people do not care to run the great risk
which they would have to do in buying
from inexperienced men."i
AM ANGEL FISH CAUGHT,
Italian Anglers Haul Up a Finny
Creature Somewhat Reacnibllng- a
Man.
San Francisco Call.
An angel fish, said to be the first one
ever brought to this city, was caught
with a hook and line by some Italian
fishermen twenty miles outside the
Farallon Islands, ia very deep water,
on Thursday, brought into the city and
sold to an enterprising tobacco dealer
on Montgomery street, where it was
yesterday afternoon hung up in the
window to excite the wonderment of
passers-bv. The specimen is ; about
three and a half feet long, has a head
as large as a man's, beneath which are
a pair . of winglike fins, spreading out
over two feet from tip to tip, from the
lower extremity of the wings they are
much more like wings than fins and
the body tapers off to a small tail. The
back of the fish is a dark gray and
brownish color, slightly mottled and
studded with sharp thorn-like protuber
ances; The under side of tne dsn pre
sents a most curious appearance, being
colored and shaped from the neck down
the entire body like a human body.
Thethorar is rib-marked and the ab
domen is singularly man-like and the
resemblance to the human organization
is very remarkable. The novelty and
rarity of the specimea drew to the store
where it is exhibited a number of
scientists; '' J
Charles Wolcott Brooks informed the
Call reporter sent to make the fish's ac
quaintance that the one brought in by
the Italians is a very rare specimen.
It ,has heretofore been scientifically
classed, but not generally known as a
personal acquaintance, so to say, by even
the most favored few. Mr. Brooks
stated that the squatina, speaking of it
in a friendlv manner, is a habitue of
very deep water, where it pursues the
very pleasant pastime of feeding on
flounders and soles. Unlike San Fran
cisco's bon vivantes the squatina is
never forced to accent a slice ot ;stUr-
eofLfOtasiOle and pay two bit for at
Yefcltbe: squatina appears capaweof
mastering even a whole sturgeon, Hav
ing a true fissure mouth; fracturing its
enormous! head from the two joints
where its ears should have been set. !
