416 PRIZE ESSAY: — PLEURO-PNEUMONIA AMONG TATTLE. 
cough. Three, upon examination, were found to be suffering from 
decided disease of the chest, and died some short time after ; and, 
from the supposition that the remainder were labouring under the 
same disease, but in an earlier stage, they were immediately bled 
and physicked, and finally recovered. 
Case 26. — In the autumn of 1846, Mr. S. purchased twenty 
stores at a distant fair, all of which coughed. One died of pleuro- 
pneumonia ; the others were bled and physicked, and recovered. 
Case 27. — Mr. C., in the early part of November 1846, pur- 
chased, at St. Ives’ market, twenty steers : two were soon after 
attacked with pleuro-pneumonia, and died. After this several 
others were affected with the disease, and, upon being bled and 
physicked, recovered. 
Case 28. — Mr. S., a dairyman of Cambridge, who keeps thirty 
cows, lost, during 1847 and the two previous years, twenty-seven 
cows and a bull, in consequence of being attacked with the dis- 
ease : since which time all his cows have been setoned, and no 
deaths have occurred. 
Case 29. — Mr. J. purchased, in the month of November 1846, 
twenty Scotch beasts at Stamford fair. Soon after their arrival 
at home they were observed to cough, and were turned into a yard 
with five cows. Between this time and the middle of December 
of the same year, seven of the young stock died, during which 
period the five cows became affected. Three died : all the re- 
mainder, both cows and young stock, recovered after being bled, 
physicked, and setoned. 
Case 30. — Mr. H., of Cambridge, on September 18, 1847, 
bought, at the market in the same place, two buds out of a drove, 
which he turned into a paddock. On the following day both were 
observed to cough : one lived till the 30th, when it died ; the 
other recovered under treatment. 
Case 31. — Mr. C., of the same place, had four cows out of eight 
attacked with the same disease, between April 13 and July 28, 1847. 
Three were disposed of, and the other recovered under treatment. 
Case 32. — Mr. R., of Cambridge, had five cows in July 1846, 
when three became attacked with pleuro-pneumonia. Two died, 
and the other recovered under treatment, but slipped calf shortly 
after, as did several others in the preceding cases. 
Case 33. — Mr. F., of Cambridge, purchased, at the latter end 
of October 1847, four steers at St. Ives’ market, which were no- 
ticed by the steward to husk from their first appearance on the 
premises; and on November 19, observing that one was ailing 
more than the rest, it was treated for a few days without effect, 
and then sold. Between this period and January 3, 1848, two 
more were attacked in the same manner : one recovered, and the 
other was disposed of.
