Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Contagious Pleuro-Pneumonia: Third Report
Sir Although my recent examination of American cattle, as landed and slaughtered in England, had for its chief object the detection of the contagious pleuro-pneumonia so frequently reported by the English governmental authorities as existing among them, and the subsequent location, as nearly as possible, in the United States, of the herds from which these animals had been taken, I made my last report to you upon this subject before having had sufficient opportunity to examine as thor oughly as seemed to me desirable, the details connected with this direct investigation, because I considered that, incidentally, matters of the greatest importance connected with our cattle export trade had come to my knowledge, and that under the circumstances it was very impor tant that these facts should come to the knowledge of Congress early in the session so that, if they deemed them of as much importance as they seemed to me, they might have time to take such action as they deemed necessary.
