SCOURING IN CATTLE AND SHEEP-

day : she was kept warm, and had as much gruel as she would 
drink. 
On the 7th I gave her four drachms of the carbonate of 
ammonia with six ounces of the sulphate of soda, and an ounce 
of powdered aniseeds. In the afternoon she was up. Her faeces 
were pultaceous — she fed a little — and the countenance was 
brightened. 
On the 8th I gave her an ounce of the sulphate of iron and 
two ounces of bark, and she is doing very well. 1 send this case 
for your opinion as to its treatment. 
The subject of Puerperal Fever will be debated in the Asso- 
ciation in the course of a few weeks. Mr. Rush will then learn 
the opinion and practice of many of his brethren. — Y. 
THE CESTRUS IN THE FRONTAL SINUSES OF THE 
SHEEP AT AN UNUSUALLY EARLY PERIOD. 
By Mr. T. Barton, Threxton. 
A cas e occurred a few days since which I beg leave to commu- 
nicate to you? thinking it may be interesting, as happening at 
this period of the year (March 27th) : in the summer months it is 
frequent enough. A sheep produced its lamb, and the mother and 
the offspring were, to all appearance, quite well. On a sudden she 
became convulsed, and shook her head, rolling her eyes about, 
and turning her nose upwards, but did not rise from the ground. 
The shepherd instantly bled her copiously, and she continued 
lying about half an hour, when she started up, ran a few yards, 
leaped, fell down, and died. I examined the head after death, 
and found eleven bots in the frontal sinuse, three of which were 
much smaller than the others (about one-quarter of the usual size); 
and the vessels of the brain quite full of blood of a very dark 
colour.

Gentlemen, — In the Bristol Journal of the 19th instant, I
