The case of chorea occurred in a fine cross-bred cow, the pro- 
perty of a dairy-keeper. About a fortnight previously to the 5th 
of May, according to the owner’s account, she was affected with 
what he considered a fit of madness. She tossed her head about, 
bellowed, and appeared in an extremely excitable state ; but so 
temporary was this attack, that she shortly became apparently 
well. About a week after her recovery, she was again taken ill, 
but not in a similar manner ; and as the disease did not, as in the 
former case, disappear, the owner then applied here for assistance. 
On visiting her, the symptoms of chorea were well marked. At 
tolerably regular intervals there were involuntary twitchings seen 
in various parts of the body, but the head, neck, and panniculus 
carnosus of the left side seemed more especially involved than other 
parts. When any one approached her, although she did not seem 
at all alarmed, yet the twitchings became increased in violence.
