1122 EXPERIMENT STATION RECORD. 



Treatment of parturient paresis, J. N. Ries {Kec. Mf-d. VH., 8. ser., 9 {1902), 

 No. J-'i, pp. 479-4S0). — Brief notes oil the successful treatment of this disease with 

 iodic! of potash. 



Infusion or injection in parturient paresis,.!. Ylaskamp( yyVZ-sW;;'. YcedHsenijh. 

 Maandhlad, 39 {J902), No. 12, pp. 539-546). — The author beUeves that this disease is 

 due to suppression of milk secretion and that the treatment of the disease should be 

 directed toward restoring this physiological process. The injection of potassium 

 iodid was found to have more rapid effect than infusion of the same substance. 

 Infusion of lukewarm water and air had no apparent effect upon the disease. 



Differential diagnosis between parturient paresis and apoplectic puerperal 

 septicemia, E. II. B. Gravenhokst { Tijihcliv. ]'i'('(irtseiiijk. Maandldcd, SO {1902), No. 

 '2, pp. 81-S4). — Brief notes on the chief symptoms of these 2 diseases, which may be 

 used in making a differential diagnosis. 



Foot-and-mouth, disease, J. G. Ruthekfokd {Canada Dept. Agr. Bnl. 9, p]). 7). — 

 The author iiresents brief notes on the history of foot-and-mouth disease in Canada 

 and the* United States, together with an account of the symptoms, treatment, and 

 methods of preventing this disease. 



The apoplectic form of foot-and-mouth disease, Chapellier {Bee. Med. Yet., 

 8. ser., 9 {1902), No. 16, pp. 453-468). — The author observed 19 cases of the apoplectic 

 form of this disease. It was found that the animal might die suddenly while drinking 

 and a variable quantity of liquid would be found in the trachea. In some cases the 

 amount would be exceedingly slight. In other cases death resulted sudilenly a short 

 time after drinking. In these cases an autopsy showed that the trachea was tilled 

 with fluid. The author believes that these symptoms indicate a sudden development 

 of an apoplectic condition in the brain. This supposition, however, is leased on the 

 sj'mptoms only, and was not formed by an examination of the brain. 



The latest recurrence of foot-and-mouth disease near Palermo, Griglio 

 {Gior. R. Hoc. Accad. Vet. Ital., 61 {1902), No. 30, pp. 753-756).— BvM notes are given 

 on a recent outbreak of this disease, and also on the apparent immunity of Sicilian 

 cattle to tnberi'ulosis and on the successful treatment of rabies in a horse. 



Baccelli's treatment of foot-and-mouth disease, A. Cinti-Luciani {Gior. R. 

 Soc. Accad. Vet. Ital., 51 {1902), No. 36, pp. 897-902). — The intravenous injection of 

 solutions of corrosive sublimate, as recommended by Baccelli in the treatment of 

 foot-and-mouth disease was tested by the author in a number of cases. These exper- 

 iments indicate that the treatment is of considerable importance in the control of the 

 disease. 



Foot-and-mouth disease and the method of Baccelli, V. Cantoni ( Gior. R. 

 Soc. Accad. V,l. Ital., 51 {1902), No. 41, pp. 1025-1029).— The author believes that 

 Baccelli's remedy is perfectly reliable in the treatment of foot-and-mouth disease and 

 that the discovery constitutes an important feature oi the history of veterinary 

 medicine. 



Aspergillosis in cattle, A. Quaranta {Gior. R. Soc. Accad. Vet. Ital., 51 {1902), 

 No. 34, p)p- 849-860). — The author believes, as a result of a study of this disease, that 

 aspergillosis may exist as a primary infection and that the disease may be readily 

 differentiated from other similar diseases. In order to arrive at a thorough differ- 

 ential diagnosis it is recommended that the pulmonary tubercles be subjected to a 

 microscopic examination. 



Differential diagnosis of blackleg, K. D. Malinovski {Aroli. Vet. Nauk, St. 

 Petershtu'fj, 32 (190.'), No. 12, ]>p. 7ft?.7-7(9.)'.v).— Statistics are presented showing the 

 distribution and economic importance of this disease in Russia. Since blackleg is 

 most frequently mistaken for anthrax, the author j^resents an outline of the chief 

 clinical symptoms and pathological lesions of these 2 diseases for the purpose of 

 making a differential diagnosis a simple matter for practicing veterinarians.
