The patient was admitted to a general ward and treatment was symptomatic. On discharge the patient was warned that for some time he might spread foot-and-mouth disease among animals, and that therefore he should avoid contact with susceptible animals. Veterinary authorities were notified about this patient and carried out inspections in the district in which the slaughterhouse was situated. Foot-and-mouth disease was found among animals, although previously this district was declared free from disease. In conclusion I would like to emphasize that the health authorities would be well advised to pay close attention to the possibility of the disease in man as a potential factor in the spread of foot-and-mouth disease.-I am, etc., London W. 13.
