disease durinj; the past 10 jears. Eaeli outhi'eak extended over a *'onsiderahle area 

 and afferted a ntiiidier of animals. The teniperatnre of affeeted cattle ranged from 103 

 to 105A° F. Vesicles \vere formed in the montii and the animals hecame stiff as the 

 result of lameness in the joints and sore feet. Nearly all cases ohserved Ijy the 

 author were among animals which fed almost exclusively u|ioii Idue-grass pastures. 

 Recovery usually took i)lace after a change of feed. The symptoms are remarkahly 

 similar to those of true contagious foot-and-mouth disease. 



The treatment of foot-and-mouth disease by the method of Baccelli, E. 

 Humbert {Clin. IV/., ^'>! {190S), No. 2S, pp. /HS-170). — The use of corrosive sul)- 

 limate in the treatment of foot-and-mouth disease was tested hy tlu' author and the 

 method employed l)y r>accelli was critically examined. It is believed that the 

 method is lealiy valuable in checking the course of the disease. 



Experiments in the treatment of foot-and-mouth disease by the method of 

 Baccelli, N. L. Buonsanti {Clin. TV/., ^6' {190,J), No. ^5, Sup., pp. 9o). — An elabor- 

 ate study was maile of the use of corrosive sublimate in the treatment of this disease 

 and the author's final report is contained in the present article. Notes are given on 

 the prevalence of foot-and-mouth disease, the symptoms and anatomical lesions 

 which appear during the progress of the disease, together with a record of experi- 

 ments undertaken for the purpose of showing the tolerance of cattle toward intra- 

 venous injections of corrosive sublimate and the effect of this treatment upon the 

 course of foot-and-mouth disease. In the author's experiments it was found that 

 I'attle endured without bad effects therapeutic doses of corrosive sublimate at the 

 rate of 0.04 to 0.05 gm. per 100 kg. live weight. In the author's opinifm the efficacy 

 of this treatment in cases of foot-and-mouth disease was demonstrated. The tem- 

 perature was lowered, the course of the disease was shortened, and the development 

 of dangerous complications was prevented in a large percentage of cases. The method 

 is recommended as safe when applied under antiseptic precautions and as worthy of 

 a more general api)lication. 



Texas cattle fever {Jour. Jamaica Aijv. Soc, 7 (190.3), Nu. IJ, pp. 485-490). — The 

 course, symptoms, and pathological lesions of this disease are described in some 

 detail and notes are presented on the method of immunization by means of the blood 

 of recoverecl animals. 



The treatment of malaria in cattle, Jackschath [Berlin. Tiiri'irztl. ]]'cliuxchr., 

 1903, No. 34, pp. 530-532). — Malaria in cattle appears to be associated with certain 

 soil and climatic conditions which resemble the conditions of malarial districts for 

 man. Animals which come to such regions from localities where the disease does 

 not prevail regularly become affected. Detailed notes are given on the symptoms 

 and course of the disease. The auth<ir recommends blood letting in the early stages, 

 followed by injections of spirits of camphor and the administration of doses of iron 

 sulphate in sweet milk. After iironounced symptoms of constipation have appeared, 

 iiowever, the author believes that j)rognosis is unfavorable in the majority of cases. 

 As a preventive treatment it is recommended that in the spring cattle be given sugar 

 of lead in doses of 0.5 gm. for a period of 8 days. 



Hilk fever: A new treatment, E. II. Lehnkkt {Jour. Cunij). Mai. and Vet. Arcli., 

 24 {1903), No. 5, pp. 301-310, pg. l) . — The oxygen treatment was used by the author 

 with good results. In 1 case the animal recovered completely within a period of 4 

 days, and decided improvement was manifested within a few liours. 



Traumatic galactophoritis and mammitis -with pyemic metastasis in do- 

 mestic animals, Jovis {J(nir. Med. 17/. rt Znolrdi., 5. iter., 7 {190.J), Jam', pp. 334- 

 343; Jnlii, pp. 395-400, Ji(/.^. 0). — Detailed (lesi'rii)tions are given of the symi)toms 

 arid pathological anatomy of various forms of mammitis affecting different i)arts of 

 the udder and due to different causes. (Minical notes are given on 27 cases, nearly 

 all of which were in cows. Particular attention is given to tuberculous mammitis 

 and the symptoms by which it may be identified.
