REVIEW— ON THE EPIZOOTIC IN CATTLE. 
583 
I, of course, treat the system in the first stage as it requires, by 
bleeding, purging, &c. ; I also bleed locally from the coronary veins, 
which are numerous, and try to keep up poultices ; but this is 
generally a failure : the patient not being accustomed to have the 
feet handled, he will kick them off as fast as put on. As the old 
horn is being cast off, I remove the portion with a knife that is 
likely to press upon the new growth, which I dress with tar oint- 
ment as a protection, &c. 
I intended offering some further observations, but find, if I do so, 
I shall be too late to get my note inserted in the October number 
of your Journal, having driven it out to the last day and hour. 
Your’s respectfully.

never heard until now. But that he has produced the most scien- 
tific as well as practical “ Essay” extant on that awful disease 
among cattle yclept pleuropneumonia , and for so doing has 
well deserved his award, the Gold Medal of the Highland Agri- 
cultural Society, we feel quite certain will be readily conceded 
by every one into whose hands his admirable writing may happen 
to fall. We have marked many and lengthened passages for 
translation into our pages : we only regret we cannot take the con- 
tents entire as they stand. 
Although pretty satisfactory evidence can be brought to shew
