Cerebro-Spinal Meningitis, so-called, may follow 

 calving. The cow stands and is free of coma. The bow- 

 els may be only slightly deranged, or there may be a 

 fetid diarrhea. The patient may die of apoplexy in 4 or 

 5 days, or may gradually recover. 



Softening of the Spinal Cord (myelitis) is not fre- 

 quent in the ox. It usually accompanies tetanus (com- 

 monly called lock-jaw). 



Stringhalt sometimes occurs. In one case, where a 

 number of animals were affected, it was attributed to 

 burnt ale.
