Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Eleventh Annual Report of the State Board of Health of the State of New Hampshire for the Year Ending October 31; 1892
The extent to which the disease has been found in Hillsborough county caused the Board to investigate the origin and history of cer tain cases, and in several instances it was traced directly to herds of cattle brought from Massachusetts, either for pasturage or to be sold, sometimes by unscrupulous dealers, to farmers and milkmen of our State. Cases outside Hillsborough county have been traced to the same source. In 1887, when the existence of a case of pleuro-pneu monia was reported in Massachusetts, the State Board of Cattle Com missioners of New Hampshire issued quarantine orders against all cattle from the former State, and cattle were only admitted on per. Mits issued by the Board, on presentation of satisfactory evidence by the owners that such cattle had not been exposed to pleuro-pneumonia. The wisdom of the Board in taking such action was unquestioned, and all possible danger to our live stock interests was averted. Reference to the records of that time show that of the cattle admitted under those regulations, over fifty per cent came to Hillsborough county, and doubtless the same percentage of cattle annually brought into the State since 1887 has been landed in the same locality. In this county seventy per cent of the tuberculosis in the State has been found.
