NESOM GIVES CAUSE 9F "STAGGERS." h Fatal Malady Now Prevalent Among Horses. DISEASE OF THE NERVOUS SYSTEM. It is Always Associated With Mouldy Food, Bad Water and Uncleanly Surroundings. Special to The State. Clemson, Feb. 24.?Dr. Xesom, the State veterinarian, is receiving so many letters from various sections in reference to staggers that he has found it imposible to answer them all. The following letter will be of interest to many throughout the State: To the Editor of The State, As it is quite out of the question to give personal answers to all of the let ters received from citizens of South Carolina and Georgia regarding a horse disease commonly referred to as staggers, I take this method of say ing to those concerned that more and more cases appear every week, and just at a season when horses and mules are so much in demand for farm work it becomes a serious question. The losses i in South Carolina from this disease I during the past year are estimated at j about $10,000, and it is prevalent in j Maryland, Virginia, North Carolina ' and Kansas. I had diagnosed the dis j ease as cerebro-spinal meningetis j near-y a year ago, but many of the dis i eases did not seem typical of this dis ease. I have recently forwarded to the bureau of animal industry at Washing ton six of the brain taken from horses that had died of this disease. A par tial report has been roceived and the disease proves to be cerebro-spinal meningetis, or leucoencephalitis. This is a disease of the nervous sys tem, affecting chiefly the brain and its covering membranes. Most of the brains taken out recently have been congested, some blood serum around the brain, and in either the right or left half of the upper portion of the brain (cerebrum) there has been fonnd a large area of degeneration. This cannot be seen on the surface, but if the brain be cut open what appears to be a large ulcer is found in the sub stance of the brain. This is the prin cipal lesion and is responsible for most of the ill symptoms. The symptoms are those of nearly all other forms of so-called "stag gers," and death generally follows in one or two days if not very soon after the disease is noticed. The cause of the disease is not well understood,, but is always associated with mouldy food, bad water and unclean surround ings. The remedy is to avoid the causes, use only the best food, pure water and keep the animls under Jibe best conditions as to cleanliness."^- In one case I saw where a number of mules died, the only bad environment I could find was that a lot of rank weeds bad been mowed down around the barn and left to decay during a rainy spell of weather.. Medical treatment is almost useless, as the lesions of the brain have al ready occurred when the symptoms are noticed and cure is generally out of the question when so much of the brain has become decayed. Cold shower baths of the head, doses of one ounce of chloral hydrate, one ounce aloes, or four ounces of whiskey, may relieve the symptoms for a while. When the disease appears clean, dis infect and whitewash the barn, and do not use a stall where a horse has died. If possible abandon lots and barns for two or three months and provide quarters elsewhere for all horses kept on the place. G. E. Xesom, State Ve terinarian. Protection for Galveston. Gal vest-on, Tex., Feb. 23.?The cor nerstone of the $1,500,000 sea wall was laid today with imposing ceremonies I and parade of citizens and marines j and officers from the United States j battleships in the harbor. The wrok on the sea wall has progressed most i satisfactorily since its beginning last j October. It will be three miles in i length and give absolute protection to the city even from a stage of water equal to the destructive tidal wave of 1900. The funds for its construction were raised by popular subscription to a bend issue and most of the money j was subscribed by local men. The ! city has been exempted from State ; taxes for a period of IS years as assist | ance in bearing the great burden of the great wall for its protection Trenton, X. J., February 23.?In ; the United States Court here today a j jury awarded 500 damages to the Rev. i Henry P. Johnston, of Camden. a color ! ed man who sued the Pullman Car j Company for $10,000. Johnston is the j editor of the Christian Advocate, j and on March 25 last, while riding I in a Pullman car between Richmond, i Va>, and Washington, sought service | in. the dining car. He claimed that he was refused food by different sub terfuges, notwithstanding he applied three times. Finally when all the passengers had been served and the employees were eating he said he was offered food.
