THOSE MANCHESTER SHEEP.

___________

Died of Anthrax So Says Grand Rapids Vetrinaries.

Dr. Conkey of the Grand Rapids veterinary college has received specimens taken from the carcass of a dead sheep by Dr. Ackerson, one of the recent graduates of the college, who is now practicing in Manchester, Mich. The young veterinarian diagnosed the case as "anthrax," one of the deadliest diseases known to the veterinary profession. The same farmer who lost the sheep in which the disease was discovered, had lost 19 others in the same manner during a period extending over a few days. The state veterinarian had been called, but had failed to recognize the symptoms, which were correctly diagnosed by the Grand Rapids man. The disease is a rare one and is the first that has come under the observation of the authorities for a number of years. ----Herald.
