Uiidulant Fever Gains in Cecil 10 Cases Reported; Health Officials Warn on Milk Of Bang's Diseased Cows ELKTON, Md Aug. 8 (Special). Cecil County health officials warn that 10 cases of undulant fever have been reported in the county during the first seven months of this year, which is a marked increase over previous years. Dr. Collison, the county health officer, states that the fever is communicable from animal to man, principally through the consumption of unpasteurized milk or milk products.

The incubation period is variable, from six to 14(days. Prevention of the disease is best attained by testing milk-producing animals for Bang's disease and the destruction of animals found to harbor the infection. The consumption of milk and milk products which have been properly pasteurized will prevent practically all cases of undulant fever in man.
