"Since IK) iiniiiiiiiity is conferred by (liis iiietlxxl of treatment steps must be 

 tJikeri, ]>y roHortiri^ to diHinfeetion, to prevent the ix-rsiHtenco of tTie cause of 

 llu! <]isojise on tlie bodies of the animals and in the stalls. For this reason 

 2 disinfections were i)racticed in the later experiments; the hindqnarters of 

 the perineal regions of the animals wen? washed with either 5 per cent baclllol 

 or 5 per cent sai)oformol, and the stalls were subjected to a thorough cleaiisin>?, 

 followed by a dlsiiifc-ction with lime wash. In order to prevent the introduc- 

 tion of fresh infection throuKli the agency of the bull, this animal was also 

 subjected to treat nient. About 10. gm. of enc(>riu mixture were introduced into 

 the she.ith and distributed by massage. As In the case of cows this ti'eatment 

 was carried out on T» occasions, r> on consecutive days and H on every second 

 day."

On the treatment of contag'ious pneumonia (Brustseuche) of the horse 

 ■with Salvarsan, Nkvkkmann (licrUn. Ticrdrztl. Wchnschr., 28 (1912), No. 7, 

 pp. 119-12'); ahs. in Jour. Compar. Path, and Ther., 2'> (1012), No. 1, pp. 63. 

 6Ji). — "Sixty-five stallions were treated with Salvarsan, and of these 55 were 

 free from fever within 5 days, at the longest, after a single injection of 3 gm. 

 The other 10 animals received a second dose of 2 gm. on the fifth day of the 

 disease, and the temperature of these was normal on the eighth day from the 

 onset of .symptoms. No untoward symptoms followed the injection of Salvarsan, 

 and it was very striking how quickly the animals treated with the drug 

 recovered."
