DISEASES IN CATTLE
PARIS CONFERENCE CONCLUDES By Telegraph— Press Assn.— Copyright. Australian Press Association. Paris, May 20. The congress on epidemic diseases among cattle has concluded. Over 50 delegates, including Messrs. Heywood (Australia), Reid (New Zealand), and Jackson (Great Britain) were present. Foot and mouth disease was the main problem discussed. A motion w-as adopted to continue research on the lines now followed. A paper read by Dr. Burgi (Switzerland) caused a heated discussion owing to the difference of opinion on the Continent relative to the treatment of this disease, and the resentment against police and sanitary supervision. Delegates viewed the State School of Veterinary Science, which Mr. Heywood declares is more complete and better equipped than many medical schools in Australia.
The delegates met Professors Value and Le Clinche, who have undertaken research at colossal pains and expense and devoted their lives to discover a remedy for gaseous lymphadenitis in sheep. They disclosed nothing fresh in their report since last congress, and are awaiting reports from Australia and Argentina following experiments.
