The danger of the entry of cattle plague into the country has been averted, as of the writing of these lines, and the necessary measures have been taken to combat it without delay, should it, God forbid, reappear.

Cattle plague reappeared and spread in 1901, with 47 cases compared to 1101 cases. The spread was concentrated in the provinces of Giza and Assiut, where most of the cattle died due to the lack of concern of the inhabitants, the concealment of cases, the sale of infected cattle, and the trading of cattle that had been in contact with infected animals.

Nationalists expressed their strong preference for water drawn from the Nile. A decision was made at the beginning of last year to form a fact-finding committee.

Professor Dr. Garner (Director of the Hygiene Department at the Imperial German University) was chosen by the Imperial German University. The committee was entrusted with the task of...
