No. 4.] STABLE MANAGEMENT. 197 



expert were to butcher a cow they might find something 

 about her that they might think was tuberculosis, but would 

 be something else ? 



Dr. Osgood. We have lots of diseases taken for tuber- 

 culosis. 



Mr. Lyman. There was a creature killed in our place 

 last winter. I think the test was applied, and she was con- 

 demned to be killed. She had a very bad cough, and when 

 she was led out to the slaughter house the man said she 

 coughed all the way. After she was butchered her lungs 

 appeared to be perfectly sound. After a diligent search, 

 somewhere near the windpipe a little hard bunch was found. 

 In that case I should judge that the cough proceeded from 

 that, and not from tuberculosis. 



Dr. Osgood. It was quite likely tuberculosis.
