Excerpt from Thirteenth Report (Fifth Biennial) Of the State Board of Health and Vital Statistics, of Minnesota, 1889-90: Containing Report of the Secretary to the Board, With Appendix The law under which this work has been done (chapter 200, laws of 1885) was enacted and approved in March 1885. Glanders had been introduced by importations from all adjoining States and Territories. The attack began immediately every where it was found. The details, of the combined efforts of State and Local Boards, up to October 1, 1888 will be found in the previous reports, but I' add the general statistics, as abstracted from those reports as a proper introduction to this one.
