SPLEENIC APOPLEXY. 



This is a new disease, and is one that is seldom met 

 with, except among cattle which are being fattened rapidly. 

 It consists in engorgement of the spleen with blood, creat- 

 ing a poisonous ferment within the blood. When the spleen 

 becomes ruptured, death follows in a short time. Never 

 feed the flesh of an animal that has died of spleenic apo- 

 plexy to anything; as chickens, dogs and pigs, will die in a 

 few hours after eating this poisonous flesh. Men have died 

 from cutting themselves while removing the hide from cat- 

 tle that died from this disease. 



CAUSE : — Food, rich in nutritive qualities, and de- 

 ficient in fluids, is the great cause of spleenic apoplexy in 

 cattle. 



SYMPTOMS: — This disease comes on very suddenly; 

 the animal may have every appearance of health in the 

 morning, and be dead before evening. The symptoms are 

 as follows : Colicky pains, urine and manure mixed with 

 blood, twitching of the muscles, frothing from the mouth, 

 breathing quick and short, staggering gait. The animal falls 

 and dies. 



x^v^aTMENT: — When seen in the first stage give 

 immediately, the following physic : 



Epsom Salts sixteen ounces. 



Glauber Salts twelve ounces. 



Calomel two drachms.
