ResumoWith the larger domestic animals, the body temperature is made use of in the clinical diagnosis of two of the most dreaded infectious diseases,—namely, tuberculosis and glanders; in addition the rise in the body temperature is one of the characteristic symptoms in a dozen or more diseases of this nature. In some of the infectious diseases of chickens, like fowl typhoid, fowl cholera, diphtheria, fowl plague and in spirochaetosis in fowls, there is associated with the symptoms an increase in temperature. The use of the subcutaneous injection of tuberculin as a test for the presence of tuberculosis has not been successfully done in poultry, but there is apparently no reason why this works in cattle and does not in poultry. A time may come when this test can be successfully used and when this comes about, we must be ready and prepared to make a satisfactory use of it . . .
