DISEASED CATTLE.
Out of 1148 animals slaughtered at the Wanganui public abattoirs, nine were condemned as unfit for human consumption — five cattle, three pigs ahd one sheep. All the cattle and two of the pigs were affected with tuberculosis. One of the cattle presented the worst case th.at has yet come under the inspector's notice in Wanganui. Not only were ' tha lungs, liver and diaphragm studded with tubercular nodules, but the whole lining of the thoracic and yibdominal cavities was covered with tubercular masses of various sizes; these were also found in the flesh along the course of the sternum and vertebral column, close to the bones. Strange to say, this beast was- in fair condition.
