264 HAMORRHAGIC SEPTIC AIMIA. 
10 mm. in diameter on capsule of liver. Duodenum and 
rectal mucous membranes were markedly inflamed and 
swollen. 
Mr. Ralph Richner, a near neighbor to Mr. Bedor, re- 
ported that he had approximately 20 head of cattle in his 
herd November 20th. Mr. Richner lost nine, most of the 
animals dying very suddenly, and the entire nine within a 
few days after the first case, which appeared on Nov. 20th. 
His cattle had been fed shocked corn and other dry feed in 
the yard, and had not been in standing corn stalks at all. 
On skinning the animals and opening the carcasses, the 
owner had noticed that the livers and stomachs were spot- 
ted. The intestines were not especially noticed. He would 
probably not have noticed any petechiz on the intestines, 
even had they been present. Dark bloody spots were noted 
under the skin in some cases. 
UNIVERSITY EXPERIMENTAL FARM OUTBREAK. 
History.—On June 6th, seven cows which had given a 
normal flow of milk in the morning, gave practically none 
inthe evening. Otherwise the cows were apparently normal. 
These cows were all noticed to be slightly ailing the next 
morning, with the exception of Dell 2. This cow was down 
and could not be gotten up. The others showed littleexcept 
dullness. There was no rise of temperature; no evidence of 
pain or discomfort. When they attempted to walk, the gait 
was more or less irregular, resembling very much the gait of 
milk fever in its early stage. This became true of all cases 
sooner or later, and was of course more marked in some 
than in others. 
There had been nothing new or unusual in the care or 
feed or other environments of these cattle except that for a 
few days and nights they had been kept in a pasture which 
had received some sewage overflow from our filter beds, by 
reason of recent rains. A salt box was located near the 
point where this overflow stood and the cattle unquestion- 
ably drank of this water. No other cattle had been in the 
pasture for ten days. 
Symptoms, First Period.—The symptoms during the 
first 24 to 36 hours were not marked except as to continued
