With reference to the cause of the outbreak of this disease a care-

 ments which will be reviewed in detail further on in this paper. A 

 map showing the location of tlie town centers with the roads leading 

 to other towns and the location of the farm buildings and pastures 

 has been prepared, in order to elucidate the facts obtained as they

 slope of the hill about three-eighths of a mile distant across a little

 buildings. 



The two pastures at E and F are in the same valley and connected 

 by a stretch of meadow land, comparatively level. 



At the time of making the post-mortem examination of the cow at 

 the farm of Miss Howe, June eighth, she incidentally remarked, ' I 

 think my cattle would not have been sick if they had not been chased 

 by dogs some weeks ngo." Upon inquiry, it was learned from her 

 that upon the eleventii of May she had in the pasture (located upon 

 the map at D) ten animals, and during the early part of the forenoon
