Excerpt from Report on the Infectious and Contagious Diseases in Stock Prevailing in Europe: Together With Directions for Inoculation for Pleuro-PneumoniaI might, perhaps, have also described the nature, symptoms, and treatment of the incurable affection of Glanders in horses, as it is not only the most formidable of all diseases to which horses are liable, but one that is communicable to the human subject. There has, however, as yet, never been any law in the Colonies dealing with infectious diseases in horses, and I shall at present content myself with calling attention to the urgent necessity there exists for legislation in that direction, in order that all imported horses may, like other stock, be subjected to inspection by a duly qualified Veterinary Surgeon, and pass a reasonable quarantine, previous to their being permitted to come into contact with the horse stock belonging to the Colony.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
