'Brucellosis (undulant feven is
caused by a germ found in hogs,
cows, sheep and goats. In human
beings the disease Is known as
brucellosis in man .or undulant fe-
ver. In animals, Bang's disease or
contagious abortion The condi-
tion was formerly termed Malta
fever Man acquires undulant fev-
er as he result of direct contact
with Infected animals or folowlng
the use of raw dairy products from
infected dairy cc|vs." states Dr
George W Cox, state health offi-
cer
Though brucellosis, or undu-
lant fever, Is reported every month
of the year, case records show that
It occurs most frequently In July.
I August and September.
"Since 1924 when two deaths were
! reported in Texas from undulant
j lever, the disease has been report-
ed in 1925. and annually from 1929
to 1939 In the ten years' span
1929-1939. the prevalence of undu-
lant fever has increased from three
cases m 1929 to 293 cases so far
:eported for the year 1939. A sig-
nificant upswing In reporting the
disease was noted when in 1937.
190 cases were reported as compar-
ed with 1936, when 43 cases were
i e ported.
"Because of its nature, the dis-
ease is more prevalent on farms
than In cities, with the exception
of packing house workers. The
handling of Infected cows or sows
or the animals at the time of birth
represents hazardous types of con-
tact, The germs of undulant fever
enter the body through the mouth
or skin, therefore, care should be
used in handling animals known
to be infected, and dairy products
from the some source should be
pasteurized If used
"More men acquire the disease
than women, and adults seem more
likely to have It than children
"Undulant fever Is so named be-
cause of the wave-ltkc variations In
temperature The symptoms In-
clude rising temperature, loss of
weight and strength, chills, sweats
and joint pain The mortality rate
of undulant fever is comparatively
low, but the disease itself possesses
symptoms which may persist for a
number of weeks and even months
before normal health and strength
are restored

As we approach this special sea-
son of the year In which we are
| to commemorate the birth of our
Lord and the World's Saviour, It Is
my prayer most earnestly and con-
tinual that not one person in our
fair little city, who Is a Christian
I and who Is a member of either of
our local churches, shall be so for-
getful as to be found in any place
, or found doing anything which
does not become a Christian and
which will make it more difficult
for others and our churches to win
i our lost loved ones and friends to
j the Saviour, following Christmas.
This Is my season's prayer and wish
for everyone who names the name
1 of Jesus among us, and may God
j grant that we shall all think ser-
iously and pray much about It
