GLANDERS.
On the 23rd August, 1907, the Board of Agriculture and Fisheries made a
new Order known as " The Glanders or Farcy Order of 1907," and on the
12th September made a further Order, known as the " London (Notification of
Glanders) Order of 1907," of which Article 2 (Notice of Disease) is substituted
for Article 3 (Notice of Disease) of the Glanders or Farcy Order of 1907 in
the application of that Order to the Administrative County of London and to
the City of London.
On the 29th November, 1907, under the " Diseases of Animals Act" and
the Glanders or Farcy Order of 1907, the London Connty Council made
Regulations as to Glanders or Farcy," and appended to the Regulations a
Memorandum of the " Symptoms of, and precautions as to, Glanders." This
Memorandum contains a series of paragraphs relating to human glanders, to
the following effect:—
Human Glanders.
All persons who have anything to do with glandered or farcied animals
should bear in mind the following facts:—
The disease can be communicated to man by discharge from the nostrils or
other parts of a diseased animal or carcase.
The disease in man is almost always fatal.
It is specially dangerous for persons with scratches or sores on the hands or
face to handle diseased horses or carcases.
By care and strict attention to cleanliness the danger of inoculation is
avoidable.
These Orders and Regulations came into force on the 1st January, 1908.
Bv Article 2 (5) of the London Order an Inspector of the Local Authority
(the London County Council) who receives information of the existence or
suspected existence of disease must forthwith report the fact to the Local
Authority, and also to the Medical Officer of Health of the Sanitary District
in which the animal died or was slaughtered, or in which the carcase was at
the time of the notice.
