fluid at 14 inch. Djvslike manifested by turning the 
head away and putting up the paw to nose, as if to push 
away something. The mouth is also opened. 
Kitten licks with evident pleasure at some candy. 
It licks at salt also, but soon shows disgust. Aloes 
give a doubtful reaction. 
When the foot is pinched the kitten now eves out 
sharply. 
There is a noticeable improvement in locomotor 
action. 
It is impossible for me to convince myself that any

mouth and hiss. 
The ears now move reflexly to sound, but turn

A sharp whistle causes the animal to start, but the 
ears move but little. The kittens crawl rather than
