the contagious didempcrs among horned cattle, 

 by Monf. De Limborg, M. D. and F. R. S. of 

 London. It fhoiild be obferved, that though the 

 report of an Epizooty is often fpread, yet all the 

 diforders to which cattle are liable (hould not be 

 attributed to this epidemical diftemper, fince they 

 are not exempted from this even when not afFedted 

 with any contagious diftemper. Therefore, when 

 a beaft is taken ill, enquiry fhould be made if the 

 infedlion be in the neighbourhood, as in fuch cafe, a 

 fufpicion of its being the Epizooty would be well 

 grounded, and immediate recourfe fhould be had 

 to the remedies above-mentioned. 



But as it often happens that cattle fall fick after ' 

 having eaten bad fodder, or having grazed in 

 frofly weather on the tops of herbs, &c. when 

 covered with ice and fnow, (to prevent their doing 

 which, all poflible care fhould be taken) to thefe 

 accidents only are frequendy to be attributed the 

 ficknefs and death of many beafts which fall vic- 

 tims to them. 



There is another accident no lefs dangerous, to 

 which cattle are liable, which is, the wafhing them 

 with waters prepared with different forts of poi- 

 fons, efpecially with arfcnick to kill vermin j thefe 



waters
