Is It Too Late Even in 1977? “In the year of 1825 the treaty was made by the whites and William Mcln tosh, chief of the Creek Indians, that ceded all the land west of the east bank of the Ocmulgee River to the east bank of the Chattahoo chee. including the City of Mclntosh (Indian Springs). Here Mclntosh, seeing the value of the medicinal waters of the little spring, donated a thousand acres, in the center of which the spring is located, forever to the whites. The Indians came to the Springs in great numbers to be present and to receive their money but they did not agree with their chief about the transfer.

True to this threat these same redskins surrounded Mclntosh’s house near the Chattahoochee River and, capturing him, planned to burn him alive and, but for the pleadings of his wife, would have carried out their designs. She told them that he was an Indian, like themselves, and if they would kill him anyway; to kill him like a man and not burn him like a dog, and they shot him to death and I learn that his grave was never marked more than with a little rock. Now, I think it would be fitting that his remains should be removed to Indian Springs and be buried near his old home and the springs that he loved so well.” D. J. Thaxon.

City Of Jackson YOU AND YOUR PET ™ By Robert L. Stear, D.V.M. If / Manager of Veterinary Services No.den Laboratories TRACKING DOWN COUGH CONTROL Most horses in the United States today are kept for sports-related activities— racing, jumping, rodeos, or just pleasure riding. Many animals in competition will follow “the circuit” withing their specialty and are moved from track to track or show to show. They are stabled in a series of barns next to different neighbors. In such situations, respira tory disease is easily passed from horse to horse; in fact, one major respiratory infec tion is actually called race track cough. Race track cough (more technically, tracheopharyn gitis) is generally caused by a viral infection of the upper respiratory tract. In a typical track environment, it is quite contagious, working its way from barn to barn. Symptoms include fever (102 degrees-106 degrees F.), loss of appetite, and a dry, hacking cough that can last 10 to 16 days or longer. The cough is aggravated if the animal is exercised, or becomes excited. Sometimes a light touch on an affected horse’s throat will induce coughing. At this time, there is no product to specifically con trol race track cough. Antibiotics are commonly used to prevent secondary bacterial infection, but they are ineffective against virus es and the primary symptom —the cough. Even when treated with anitbiotics, horses are generally with drawn from training and competition for 21 days to prevent recurrence of symp toms. A recent report in a veterinary journal described a severe outbreak of race track cough affecting 1,000 out of 1,800 horses stabled at a major track in Florida, threatening to shorten the racing program there. A vaccine for another equine respiratory disease (rhino pneumonitis) was adminis- tered to try to control the outbreak, since chronic cough is one of the signs of equine rhinopneumonitis. A sampling of 40 horses stabled at various bams around the track were chosen for the study. Seventeen horses already showing signs of infection were vaccinated; 23 in apparent good health were vaccinated as a precaution and allowed to remain in contact with affected stablemates. The results were very encouraging. Sixteen of the 17 previously infected horses responded well to the vaccine, and resumed train ing in 3 to 4 days, much sboner than the average 21 days recuperation period. TW’enty-one of the 23 vac cinated before developing the disease showed no signs of race track cough at all. These results and analysis of blood samples from the horses in the study showed a strong relationship between equine viral rhinopneumoni tis (EVR) and the presence of race track cough. Since EVR affects over 95 percent of the horses in the United States at some time during This card opens the door to twelve very practical banking services. 24 hours a day. 7 days a week.

The Citizens and Southern Bank of Jackson MEMBER F.D.I.C. THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 22, 1977 their lives, you might want to discuss preventive vaccina tion for your horse with your veterinarian. Vaccination can: -protect horses in competi tion from the additional strain of combating a respiratory infection, -reduce the time that a horse cannot compete, -prevent the possibility of abortion of pregnant mares when unprotected horses returning from competition introduce EVR virus into the home stable. Overall, preventive vac cination with an EVR vaccine is a sound economic investment for owners of horses in competition.
