"STAGGERS" J GAIN APPEARED.
CASES REPORTED IN BARN WELL
AND HAMPTON COUNTIES.
State VoccrliMrtaa Describes Disease,
So Fatal to Horace, and Tells How
it May Be Bret Dealt With?Every
Effort Should Be Made to Prevent
It* Spread.
"The fatal dleeaee of horses com?
monly called 'staggers' has again
made Its appearance In this State,
cases having been reported In Barn
well and Hampton counties," says
State Veterinarian Powers.
The State veterinarian then con?
tinues:
This disease has appeared sporadi?
cally In South Carolina for many
years, but no serious outbreak occur?
red until the epidemic of 1901-1902.
During the fall of 1901 a few cases
were reported In Lancaster County,
and In January, 190S, It again broke
out In Orangeburg County. During
the following six months losses were
reported in Anderson, Pickens, Oco
nee, Spartanburg, Cherokee, Green?
ville, Orangeburg, Barnwell and Berk?
eley counties. At that time it was
estimated that the losses during
this short period greatly exceeded
$10.000.
After this severe outbreak no cases
were reported until 1906, when the
disease was again reported In Hamp?
ton Marlon, York, Pickens and Oco
nee counties. Outbreaks of the dis?
ease were also reported In Virginia,
Maryland, New Jersey, Georgia and
Louisiana and Kansas.
Leuco encephalitis Is the proper
name of this disease, although It is
called cerebro spinal menlngetls In
many localities. The exact cause Is as
ret unknown, despite the investiga?
tions of many prominent scientists. It
has been attributed to micro-organ?
isms, poisonous plants, Impure wat ?r,
mouldy feed, etc. One Investigator
ties produced these symptoms by feed?
ing damaged grain containing a fun
pas, the spores of which enter the cir?
culation and set up inflammation and
?ften abscess of the brain.
Mules are seldom attacked; In fact,
[ have never seen one so affected, al?
though some rases have been reported.
In all eases Investigated by me I have
found lesions of the brain. In many
Instances there haa been softening
and degeneration of large areas of the
brain tissue while In others there has
been severe congestion of the blood
vessels and menlnges of the brain.
The symptoms are similar to those
observed In nearly all other forms of
so-called staggers, vis: dulness, de?
lirium, Inco-ordlnatlon, etc. Death
usually occurs within one or two days,
and the few animals that recover are
of little value, owing to the changes
In the nervous system.
Every effort should be made to
check the spread of the disease. | Up?
on Its appearance In all other horses
should be removed from the stable,
and the entire stable should be thor?
oughly cleansed, disinfected, and
abandoned for two or three months.
Complete change of water and feed Is
of the utmost Importance, since many
authorities believe that diseased hay
or grain or Impure water is the cause
of this disease. In past outbreaks we
have noticed that no new cases de?
veloped after these precautions wer"
observed.
Medicinal treatment is most un?
satisfactory, as animals die so sudden?
ly after the symptoms develop. Upon
appearance of the first symptom se?
vere purgatives should be Immediate?
ly given, 1 os. of aloes with 2 drams
ext. of belladonna being very satis?
factory for this purpose. The ad?
ministration of drugs Is often Impos?
sible, owing to the delirium of th ?
horse, but purgatives can be given
hypodermlcally. Whenever a compe?
tent veterinarian can be procured ho
should be called Immediately, as
treatment Is very unsatisfactory and
practically useless after the symptoms
sre well developed.
If the animal can be handled the
following drench may prove of some
value:
Fowler's solution arsenic.
Phenacetln, a a 2 drams.
Strychnin sulph 1-2 grain.
Aquae, 4 ox.
Stg: Give this drench three tltn<s
dally. The bodies of all affected ani?
mals should be opened and the organs
(especially the brain) carefully ex?
amined. The appearance of this dis?
ease, together with report of post
mortem examination, should be for?
warded to this office. AH possible
advice and assistance will be furnish?
ed to assist In control of this out?
break.
Sheriff Muldrow and a crowd soon
came and went after him, but he
made his escape and up to this time
has not been captured.
The negro Reames Kennedy has
not yet been arrested and the last
heard of him he was K"ln?; towards
