Dr. Miiller wished the meeting 1 to come to a unani- 

 mous decision about pleuro-pneumonia. 



Professor Gamgee said he had obtained great 

 success from the use of sulphate of iron, and he asked 

 whether this remedy had been tried in Germany. 



Herr Kaltschmidt said he had been witness where 

 a proprietor had used this remedy perseveringly, but 

 he regretted to say without success, inasmuch as ou 

 of a large herd not one survived. 



O 



Professor Fuchs knew an exactly similar instance. 



Fourth sitting-, 17th July. 



Herr Falke thought erysipelas in pig's should be 

 under Government supervision. 



Professor Zangger thought this disease did not 

 call for the interference of Government authority. 



Professor Gerlach said that in Hanover pigs often 

 hnd erysipelas. 



Then came a discussion on scab. The result o f 

 which was, that the whole meeting 1 agreed unani- 

 mously that scab should be under State supervision. 



The meeting- then proceeded to discuss the ques- 

 tion, whether the malig-nant disease of stallions should 

 be placed under Government supervision. 



Dr. Roll thought decidedly that it should. The 

 disease had been fully described in the Austrian Ve- 

 terinary Review. It attacked the nerves, and was 

 attended with dropsical appearances, &c. 



Dr. Fiirstenberg' entertained doubts about this 

 matter, inasmuch as he did not believe there was 

 such a disease.
