Summary "On the Cattle Plague: or, Contagious Typhus in Horned Cattle" by H. Bourguignon is a scientific publication written in the late 19th century. The book examines the history, origin, description, and treatment of contagious typhus in cattle, providing insight into the outbreaks and the responses of medical science to this significant agricultural disease. It is intended for readers interested in veterinary medicine, agricultural science, and the historical context surrounding animal diseases. The opening of the work begins with a dedication and preface that sets the stage for a serious discussion about contagious typhus in cattle, referencing ongoing outbreaks in England. It emphasizes the importance of understanding the disease's historical context and the principles of pathology. Bourguignon discusses the relationship between environmental factors and the health of cattle, introducing the idea that diseases are influenced by both external conditions and the inherent vulnerabilities of herbivorous animals. He promises a detailed examination of the disease's symptoms, the historical accounts of epidemics, and the preventive measures that may be necessary to combat future outbreaks. This introduction establishes a foundational understanding of the disease and signals the author's intent to provide practical knowledge for farmers and veterinarians alike.
