Milk of cows sick with the mouth and hoof disease. Acccording to G. T. Brown. 



Aside of the easily recognized butter globules, it contains large, dark, 



and granulated cells, vibrios connected to strings, and small 



elliptic bodies, of which always two are connected 



and show motion {bacteria). 



The infection through milk is considered to be partially caused 

 by small blisters on the teats, the exudation of which becomes ad- 

 mixed to the milk. 



C. Monin examined the milk of a cow sick with cattle plague, 

 and found its composition very variable : 



"Water and volatile 81.22 to 86.53 



Salts 1.18 " 1.54 



Albuminates 9.07 " 11.19 



Fat 1.77 " 3.75 



Sugar of milk 0.46 " 1.85 



Specific gravity 1.002 " 1.057 



The milk in this affection is very rich in albuminates and salts 

 but poor in fat and milk sugar.
