Abstract
AMONG the many infectious diseases which domestic animals are subject to, pleuropneumonia of cattle is one of serious importance to this, and indeed to every country. Owing to the facility with which infection spreads, the comparatively long duration of the malady, and the high mortality of the affected animals, an epidemic outbreak of this disease inflicts heavy losses on the holders of live stock and on the community at large as the consumers of articles of food derived from cattle. Every contribution to elucidate its intimate pathology, is, therefore, of value, not only in furthering a better understanding of this particular malady, and thus probably enabling us to grapple more successfully with its prevention, but also in throwing light on infectious diseases in general.
