Farmers’ Bulletin about Foot and Mouth Disease, 1938 Courtesy Exhibit Envoy Originally issued in 1915 and revised in 1938, this bulletin gave farmers important information about Foot and Mouth Disease. As written inside by John R. Mohler, the Chief of the Bureau of Animal Industry, “only the most prompt and vigorous measures are of any value in eradicating” the highly-contagious disease.
