 fully looked over for adhesions; several cuts lengthwise 

 should be made in the lungs to detect medicines, matter 

 (pus) or hardened spots (consolidation). The lymph 

 nodes found in the mesentery, between the lungs at the 

 splitting of the windpipe, those at the back and side of 

 the pharnyx, in the armpits and groin, the submaxillary 

 and other salivary glands, should all be examined, the 

 lymph nodes being cut into, if enlarged, and a cheesy, 

 gritty material found, tuberculosis should be suspected. 

 The stockman rarely has time to examine the limbs and 

 brain, the former, however, in cases of disputed lame- 

 ness should be examined, especially the hocks, lateral 

 cartilages, splint bones, coffin and fetlock joints, for 

 spavin, side bones, splints aud ringbones, respectively. 

 Note should be made of all the lesions found.
