OVrBItEAK OF DISEASE
' AMONG HOUSES.
Hon. John' n.SiALi, :
Washington, North Carolina.
Dear Sm -.Referring to your commu
nication of. the 22d ultiojo,' and enclosure,
consisting' of" aMetter addressed to jou by
E. A. Jones, 6f jjakleyville, Hyde county,
North jCarpllpu, in regard to a serious and
fatal outbreak of a disease among the hor
ses pf thju section,- I would say that the
following reply is based upon ths repprt of
Dr. K. W. Hickman of the Bureau of Ani
mal Industry, 'Department of j Agriculture,
to Dr. D. iS; Salmon, Chief of the Bureau
upon his. return from Hyde and Beaufort
couaCie's'bu the 10th instant, aftr having,
as you aire Aware, traveled over the territory
in whicuitfre- disease prevailed.
I sympathize with your people in their
hiisfortune, and regret : that the Depart
ment was not able to render you greater
servjje.,,TQU are, he wever, familiar with
all tjjiji "facts in regard to' the, investigation,
aa well, as the quickly fatal character of
the malady : as a result of which the aui-
mdla that had been affected had died, or iu
a very few instances recovered, except two
which were well on -the' fray to recovery ;
in which latter instances the ay rn pto&is,
that might have been otherwise in a meas
ure apparent, were masked by the con
dition which had .resulted to tLem, at the
lime. -of Dr. Hickman's visit, as a result
largely of the character of the remedies
which had beeu applied and the attempts
at treatment by the owners. Consequently,
uo cases Were -6een by him which exhibited
.-'ft . .
the symptoms characteristic of the staggers.
or so-called 'befpbro spinal meniugetis.
Iu the event of other cases of this disease
being brought to your notice iu the near
future, 6i during another season, I would
BUggbsti.ihat the smoking of the head with
tar and feathers, which seems to have beeu
reported "to to a considerable extent in the
treatment of this disease, also the adminis
trattan of large doses of kerosene oil and
the injection of kerosene and vinegar into
the nostrils,' is certainly not to be recom
meh'ded. In order to. secure success in the
treatment of the disease of our. du.nosti -
cute'd; animals, it; is important that bUch
harsh measures should be avoided, and
that cm ly'such remedies should be used as
may be expected to as.-ist nature in its ef
forts 10 r.egaiu a normal-sUe.
The physiologicil 'action of drugs has
been chiefly iemed tbVuugii experimenta
tiou upou the lower animals, and remedies
which ure ..applicable in the treatment of
the diseases of man are likewise applicable
in the treatmeut of the diseases of horses,
nhen a similar line of symptoms indicate
the use ofthe'sanle reuledies, or wheu the
purpose to be gained in their use is prac
tically tho'stttne ; for instance, if it were
thought advisable to give inhalations of tar
vapor to horses wLen suffering from a dis
ease in which sued treatment would be in
dicated, it would be -best to nearly till a
bucket with swet hay,; pour upon it two
or three ounces of inr and then pour boil
ing water over the hay aud , tar, not um
cient to entirely cover the hay, as otherw ise
the animal's nose might be scalded ; place
this bucket in a n.-al bug.' and then by
tying the free end ol. the ba'g containing
the bucket to the bend Mall of the horse so
as to include the nose w ithin the bag, the
steam will be directed to the horde's uomj
and inhaled by him. Bat irritjung substan
ces like kerosene aud vinegar under no
circumstances should be ' injec'ted into a
horse's nose, neither should Jhe irritating
smoke from burning tar and leathers be
inhaled by them. The iuUkhttiou of quan
tities of smoke has of itself frequently pro.
duced pneumonia in the horse.
W hen is thewught desirable to adiiinis
ter a purgative, an 8 ounce dose of Glauber
ftalts way be given, dissolved iu a wine bot
tle full of water, or a bill composed of
1 oz. of Barbadoes aloes,
1 dram of calomel,
1 oz. of castile soap,
t drams of powdered ginger,
to a 1100 lb. horse; for smaller animals,
the amount of aloes should be decreased.
The fyllowing treatment to excite a more
healthy action of the kidneys for the pur
pose of controlling tho fever, and at the
same time for its louic effect, might follow
the administration of the purgative :
Nitrate of potassa, 2 oz.
Powdered gentian root, 2 oz.
Powdered mux vomica, J oz.
Bicarbonate of soda, 1 oz.
Powdered willow charcoal, .'J oz.
Mix thoroughly aud give a table spoonful
three times a day on feed. If the tempera
ture is high, or if there is marked debility,
sulphate of quinine may bo given in dotes
of CO to SO grains twice a day, morning and
evening.
It seems to have been generally thought
that sore throat and infliuimation of the
lungs wert promiueut features in , this ifis:
ease. I would suggest in this eon uectioh
that the inhalation of smoke from burhiug
tar and leathers, the iujectiou of kcroseue
and viuegar into the nostrils, and drench
ing the auimals through the nostrils' or
inoutk with irritating mediciues, , whioh
may gain entrance to the wind pipe and
lungs, are not only capable of producing
sore throat aud pneumonia but tire very
liable lo. Dretiches should not bo adminis
tered through the uoso, and great care
should alwrys be exercised iu drenching' a,
horse when there is manifested by him
difficulty or inability to swallow, as it is
quite possible that iu this trouble wo- often
have a paralysis of the muscles which have
to do with the act of swallowing.
A good fever medicine in diseases such
as sore throat aud inflammation of the
lungs, which are accompanied with fever,
would be a mixture such as the following :
Tincture of acouite root, h oz. t
Sweet spirits of nitre, 4 oz.
Liquor r.mmonia acetate, 15 oz.
Give two tablespooufals every four hours.
Iu such cases as described by Mr. Jones
aud other citizens of the locality, it may be
said that in the majority of the cases of this
disease which have occurred during the
present outbreak, there was very little time
for treatment. Greater attention should be
given to preventive treatmeut, which in
cludes all matters relating to hygiene iu
conu cliou with the care of your animals.
It has been found that it is not unusual for
some of the farmers in your section to drive

All Doctors have tried to cure CATAKUH
by tbo us; of powders, acid gases, inhalers
and drugs iu paste form. Their powders dry
