The only reason that could be assigned was that the animals were, 
and had been for some time, on dry coarse fodder, and that there 
was a general disturbance of nutrition of the blood vessels. Some 
animals which had recovered presented a spotted appearance and at 
each of the hsemorrhagic points the skin had lost its pigment. 
The treatment consisted in regularly washing parts with weak 
antiseptic lotions and giving internally arsenic and bicarbonate of 
soda. 
Haemorrhages of this kind occur in cattle and in certain breeds of 
horses. In some cases the haemorrhage may be due to the presence 
of minute round worms (filariae).
