and another was near dry *. This was the Cow whofe 
Milk we had had, and fhe died in 48 Hours. Next 
Day another fell ill, and was knock'd on the Head 
by the public Officer, in about 48 Hours after her 
being feized. I had the Curiofity to fee this Cow 
opened, which was done the next Day but one. The 
Inflammation in general in this Creature was greater 
than what I had before feen in any of thofe which 
died of the Diftemper: This Cow had been blooded 
about three Weeks before (lie was taken, and once 
as foon as taken : The Cawl was greatly inflamed, the 
Paunch inflamed, and the inner Coat peeled ofF,efpe- 
ciallv that of the [ Abomafum\ Faidle 5 the Guts were all 
inflamed 5 the Liver was much inflamed in fome Party, 
in others was turned livid ; the Gall-bladder was very 
large, and the Gall very liquid : The Lungs adhered, 
in many Places, to the Tleura , were greatly inflamed, 
and turgid with Blood, and were in many Places 
quite black 5 I did not find any of the watry Blad- 
ders on the Surface of thefe, as 1 did on all the others 
I had feen opened.

Progrefs of this Diftemper, and to fuch a violent 
Degree, that I do not think it in the Power of Me-

about 12 Hours ill : They could not get above two Ounces, t which was 
as thick as Cream, and yellow like Cheefe: It curdled, being put 
into Bohea Tea next Morning. In about three Days keeping, ic 
turned of itfelf into a Subftance like Cream Cheefe, without fepa- 
rating any Serum. In eight Days it dried away to an hard cheefy 
Subitance, and in fourteen Days became quite dry, like the Rina 
of Gloucester Cheefe : J It 4 fmek like rank Butter at firft, but never 
corrupted or Hunk.
