On the cattle plague: or, Contagious typhus in horned cattle. Its history, origin, description, and treatment

"On the Cattle Plague or, Contagious Typhus in Horned Cattle" by Honoré Bourguignon is a nineteenth-century exploration into a devastating disease affecting livestock. The book kicks off with the author's dedication and preface, laying down the groundwork for a deep dive into contagious typhus amidst outbreaks in England, highlighting the need to understand both the historical spread and the core principles of pathology. It's all about how outside factors and the natural weaknesses of plant-eating animals come together to cause sickness, promising a close look at the signs of the disease, stories of past outbreaks, and what can be done to stop it from happening again. The goal is to give farmers, veterinarians, and other experts real, hands-on information to deal with the disease.
