food and water. Rotation of pasture is therefore advocated, together with the 

 administration of tonics and verinifuKes, sucli as sulphate of iron, calomel,

Treatment and prevention of stomach worms and diarrhea of calves and 

 lambs, J. LiGNiERES {BoL Min. Agi: [Buenos Ayres], 6 (1906), No. 1-2-3, pp. 

 110-120, figs. Jf). — In many instances it is difficult to determine without some 

 study whether a particular outbreak of vliarrhea in calves and lambs is due to 

 bacterial infection or to the presence of stomach worms. In order that stock 

 growers may save time in applying an efhcient remedy, the author recommends 

 the use of a mixture containing 1 to 2 parts of creosote, 4 parts of carbolic 

 acid, 8 parts of naphthalene, 4 parts of kamila, and IG parts of male fern. This 

 mixture is effective against either stomach worms or intestinal bacteria And has 

 given good results when administered in water as a drench. For young calves 

 and sheep the usual dose is .5 cc. in a small quantit.v of water. 



Some problems in sheep diseases, F. S. H. Baldrey (Jour. Trop. Vet. ScL, 

 1 (1906), No. .'/, />/). 387-.'i09). — As a rule little attention is given to sheep and 

 goat diseases in India, but serious diseases are nevertheless present to consid- 

 erable extent. A disease commonly known as gillar was studied by the author, 

 with the result that a parasite belonging apparently to the genus Bilharzia 

 was found and is considered the chief cause of the disease. The symptoms 

 resemble those of liver rot, and include progressive anemia and great debility. 



A tick disease which causes considerable mortality in sheep is apparently 

 transmitted by a tick belonging to the genus Ornithoderos. The disease is of a 

 chronic nature, and the symptoms include loss of wool, a cough, discharge at 

 the nose, and general debility. The actual cause of the disease is at present 

 uncertain. 



Another disease of sheep and goats in India is known as juvee, and is 

 characterized by diarrhea and excessive anemia. It is apparently a coccidiosis. 

 The best method of prevention consists in the isolation of diseased animals 

 and the avoidance where possible of wet pastures. The author has also made 

 observations on a disease locally known as " wah," which somewhat resembles 

 rinderpest. 



Sheep pox in the district of Kulm, Haake (Berlin. Tieriirztl. Wchnschr., 

 1906, No. JfS, pp. 855-857). — The author describes the circumstances surround- 

 ing outbreaks of sheep pox, and comes to the conclusion that the spread of this 

 and other highly infectious diseases is not sutficiently well controlled by mere 

 announcement of the existence of the case in the usual columns of legal matter. 

 It is suggested that the existence of such diseases should be at once announced 

 in two or three newspapers of the widest circulation, in order that the matter 

 might be promptly broiight to the attention of all concerned. 



Infectious cerebro-spinal meningitis, H. J. Van der ^chroe?!' [Tijdschr. 

 Veea risen ijl:. S'l (1907), No. //, /)/>. 2'i2-2-'i4). — The symptoms of this disease 

 are briefly descril)ed, with particular attention to the differences in symptoms 

 depending on whether the nervous form of the disease is developed or not. 



Tetanus following enteritis, II. IIolterbach (Berlin. Tieriirztl. Wchnschr., 

 1906, No. .'{7, pp. 8Ji'i~8.'i6) . — The conditions under which the tetanus bacillus 

 gains entrance to warm-blooded animals are briefly discussed. A detailed 

 statement is presented of the symptoms observed in a case of tetanus, in which 

 infection apparently took place through the wall of the small intestines ren- 

 dered particularly susceptible by a case of enteritis. 



Pernicious anemia in horses, J. Beghin (Ann. Med. VH., 55 (1906), No. 12, 

 pp. 692-69.'f). — A brief description is given of an enzootic outbreak of this dis- 

 ease with notes on the symptoms and the appearance of the blood. It was 

 impossible to demonstrate either bacteria or other parasites in any of the cases
