THUROW'S DISEASE 39 



course of another hour, every trace of it will have 

 disappeared, and the cow, aside from appearing some- 

 what "dopey," will be apparently none the worse 

 for the experience. In most eases the attack will have 

 run its course by the time the veterinarian arrives. 



Our experience records no deaths from Thurow's dis- 

 ease ; two cases which occurred in our practice re- 

 cently, within a few weeks of each other, recovered 

 within an hour or two. Where we arrive early enough 

 to attend the cow in the attack we refrain from ad- 

 ministering any medicinal treament if we observe 

 that the condition is beginning to correct itself. 



Should the condition be in the ascendency when we 

 arrive, we administer intestinal antiseptics, such as 

 salol, sulpho-carbolates, or permanganate of potas- 

 sium. Stimulants, such as aromatic spirits of ammo- 

 nia, also seem to benefit. 



There appear to be no sequelae to this disease; the 

 cow resumes feeding the same day, and aside from a 

 moderate diminution in the milk output for a day or 

 two, no bad results follow.
