23. The following extracts refer to the use of hæmorr-
hagic septicæmia serum and vaccine in the field.
(1) Annual Report of the Punjab Veterinary College,
1914-15.
In referring to an outbreak of hæmorrhagic septicæmia,
Colonel Pease states:—
"The usually effective measures of segregation proving
ineffective, serum was telegraphed for, and 297 animals were
inoculated. The serum had the effect of at once stopping
the outbreak, but in the meantime the disease had become
epidemic and deaths occurred daily in numbers till all incon-
tacts had been inoculated."
