238 The Management and Diseases of the Dog. 
report of that establishment for 1871, cites an analagous 
case. “A large-sized dog, always apparently in good 
health, was suddenly seized with cramp and convulsions, 
especially of the jaws. Ina short time it was unable to 
stand ; the pulse and respiration were much quickened, the 
head hot, and the conjunctive injected : considerable pros- 
tration was present. By starts it would jump up spon- 
taneously, run forward until it met some obstacle, push 
hard against it, and bark for half an hour at a time; then 
it would lie down, convulsively champ with its mouth, from 
which saliva would flow, and remain in a state of coma. It 
died on the evening of the day on which it showed these 
symptoms. On examination the brain, and more especially 
its envelopes, were found greatly congested. In the super- 
ficial part of the two hemispheres of the cerebrum were 
found twenty-three cysticerci, each about the size of a pea; 
they, were enveloped in a thin white cyst of connective 
tissue, around which the proper texture of the brain 
appeared redder than usual, and a little softened. Nothing 
abnormal was observed in the other organs.”*
