EXPLAINS EFFECTS OF THE
FOOT AND MOUTH DISEASE
?t) ' ..
Dt. S. A. Nathan Tells of Nature of Disease, How it is
Caused and What Steps May Be Taken for
Its Prevention.
1 The following article on the "foot
land month disease" has been pre
pared for the Daily News by Ur. S. I
A. NathanM veterinary of this city, j
Dr. Nathan has spen^ much time In
the study of thfas disease and its ef- ;
feet*.
(By Dr. 8. A. Nathan) I
?t may occur In any of the cloven-1
looted animals, appearing moet fre
W4*, to C*U*,UuH** *)w*p
swine are often affected in largo
numbers. While the malady Is or
dinarily not fatal, it causes gr'at
economical losses because it run* a
course of three to six weeks during
which time the affected animals lo&e
much flesh and dairy animalH pro
due^ no usable produ^t?. At It
spreads very rapidly when once es
tablished. it is difficult ti control.
The disease begins with lever
whloli is more evident in the young
er animals. It may range as high
at 104 degrees Fahrenheit In young
animals but be scarcely perceptible
In older ones. As soon as vesicles
appear the temperature falls to nor
mal where It remains throughout
the course of the disease. In cattlc
vesicles appear upon the rnucoua
membranes of the Hps. cheeks, gums
and tongue. Just previous to their
appearance the animal cliowa slowly
and carefully and when not eating
bclda ttu? mouth cloa??d. i<ater the
animal ceaa^s to eat, stands Immov

In ehssp and swine th* foot lesion

about the Bnout. Symptoms arc
otherwise the same as in cattle.
While Poot and Mouth Disease
manifests itself In a very malignant
typo In Europe, it has usually been
very m'.ld In American outbreak*,
generally results In about three
weeks.
j The manner In which Infection Is
.carrl?d It- of great Interest. As in

and to an extent all the cxcrefeiona.
exposure of susceptible animals to
anything contaminated with Infec
tive material will brine aJiotit n
tiansmisKlon of the disease. The
passage of pc-rsonp. dogs, birds, etc.,
from infected prcm'rs may carry the
causitlve a^ent iuto non-Infected
herd*. Drainage water may pollu'.i
stroor.is and wind driven dust tney
also transmit infraction long dis
tances. The origin of the la?t out
break in America was probably due
to tbo scraping from bide?, from
India, having been used u? fertilizer
The methods omployd by the De
partment of Agriculture. Bureau o(
Animal Induntry, to eradicate Foot
and Mouth Dlsoasc In interesting.
The first step is a compl< t?? quaran
tine of the Ktate in which the infec
tion exists. Each county In which
cases occur Is canvaracd by federnl
Inspectors who discover and dostroy
ev>ry affected or exposed animal an.i
disinfect every in footed pruuilse. All
living thing* on an Infected prom 1st
ere prohibited frou< leavinn ti|u;
premise until all trace of Infection
has been removed. The Inspectorn
are required to wear rubber cloth^
'.iig while on an Infected or suspect
ed premise and this wearing appar
el is thoroughly disinfected as the
Inspector leaves the premises. Af
fected and e*P'>ecd animals are kill
ed and burled deeply after being
covered with quick lime. Infected
barns are trimmed of all wooden
fixtures whlsh later ?reb timed. The
buildings are sprayed thoroughly
with disinfectants, and contaminat
ed soil, manure, litter, ete., Is dls*
Infected several times and frequent
ly turned to expose It to light and
air. All slaughtered animals arc
paid for by the state and Federal
Government after appraisement.
As Foot and Mouth disease
spreads rapidly and as the malady
may be transmitted oftenrin unex
pected ways, no treatment should be
undertaken and the premises should
%e kept Isolated until the proper au
thorities can have time to act.
