(PROFESSIONAL PAPER.) CEREBROSPINAL MENINGITIS ("FORAGE POISONING"). By John R. Mohler, V. M. D., Chief of the Pathological Division. INTRODUCTION. About 100 years ago (1813) there appeared in Wurttemberg a fatal disease of horses which was termed "head disease" owing to the pro- nounced manifestation of brain symptoms. The affection spread through certain sections of Europe from 1824 to 1828 and was de- scribed as "fever of the ; In 1878 the attention of the veter- inarians of Saxony was attracted to the disease, which was then termed "nervous sickness/' and within the next 10 years it assumed an epizootic character. In fact the malady became so prevalent in and around Borna (near Leipsic, Germany) during the nineties that it became known as the Borna disease. The affection has spread like a plague on two occasions in Belgium, and has also exacted a heavy toU in Russia, Great Britain, Austria-Hungary, and elsewhere. Its appearance in America is by no means of recent occurrence, for the malady was reported by Large in 1847, by Michener in 1850, and by Liautard in 1869 as appearing in both sporadic and enzootic form in several of the Eastern States. Since then the disease has occurred periodically in many States in all sections of the country, and has been the subject of numerous investigations and publications by a number of the leading men of the veterinary profession. It is prevalent with more or less severity every year in certain parts of the United States, and during the year 1912 the Bureau of Animal Industry received urgent requests for help from Colorado, Georgia, Iowa, Kansas, Ken- tucky, Louisiana, Maryland, Missouri, Nebraska, New Jersey, North Carolina, Oregon, South Carolina, South Dakota, Virginia, and West Virginia.
