occurred in 1796, in one instance, at Columbia, on the Sus- 

 queliannali, attacked stock Avhich had merely strolled about, 

 or had lain down in a ploughed field, in which the South 

 Carolina cattle had been previously penned for one night ; 

 a full proof of the virulence of the effluvia left by them on 

 the ground. The precaution suggested by the foregoing 

 facts, in grazing, and in armies and navies, is obvious.

 For Mr. Hunter's account of the inflammation of a vein 

 from bleeding, (Avhich is highly interesting,) see Transac- 

 tions of a society for the improvement of medical and chi-

 Surgery, vol. 1. The late Mr. Wignell, of the Philadelphia 

 Theatre, died of this disease. 



Inflammation in the veins of horses or man, after bleed- 

 ing, according to Hunter, arises from not fully closing the 

 external wound, <^ and when inflammation takes place be- 

 yond the orifice, the surgeon should immediately put a 

 compress upon the vein, at the inflamed part, to make the 

 two sides adhere together : or if they do not adhere, yet 

 simple contact will be sufiicient to prevent suppuration in 

 this part : or if inflammation has gone so far as to make the 

 surgeon suspect that suppuration has taken place, then the 

 compress must be put upon that part of the vein just above 

 the suppuration. This I once practiced, and as I suppose, 

 witli success." If the disease proceeds, bleeding and other 

 depleting remedies arc to be used. Dr. Physick has applied
