 the structure's near the kidneys. 



Symptoms. — There is always considerable fever. Pressure on 

 the spine shows the pain in the loins to be intense. If the animal 

 can stand, it assumes the position shown in Fig. 1049. When 

 obliged to move, it walks with legs wide apart. The attack is sud-
