liABIES IN THE COW. 
dreadfully inflamed. The fauces, larynx, pharynx, and root of 
the tongue highly diseased ; the membranes of the brain dis- 
tended with black blood ; the substance of the brain was of a 
pink colour. The two calves sucked her from the day she was 
bitten until that on which she died; and they are both in perfect 
health at the present time, June 9th, 1830. 
The same morning, the dog, previous to biting General Mar- 
riott’s cow, bit a man (at four o’clock, at a village four miles 
from Avon Bank), in the thigh and hand. The bitten parts 
were cut out and cauterized a few hours afterwards. Several 
days elapsed, and the man was dipped in the salt water near 
Bristol; but on the 18th of April, an excruciating pain came on 
in his hand. On the next morning, all the horrible symptoms 
of hydrophobia were manifest. He was taken to Worces- 
ter infirmary in the evening, and died there on the ensuing 
morning;. 
ANOTHER CASE OF RABIES. 
By the same. 
Feb. 24/A, 1836. — I was requested by Hanford, Esq., of 
Woolershill, to examine a heifer which he suspected to be mad. 
When I saw her she was in a yard, prostrate on the ground, and 
unable to rise. The nose was poked out in a line with the spine. 
She bellowed loudly, and very peculiarly, the tone of voice being 
the most singular I ever heard. The mouth was extremely black, 
and a great secretion of saliva ran from it. She was now scarcely 
conscious of surrounding objects, but had beaten a hole in the 
ground with her horns. I introduced a stick into her mouth, 
which she bit in a ferocious manner. When water was offered 
to her, she made several ineffectual attempts to swallow it. 
On inquiry, I learned that she was found four days ago 
running about the ground, separating herself from her com- 
panions, butting them, and bellowing till she was nearly ex- 
hausted. Little notice was taken of her until the next day (the 
herdsman thinking that she was at heat) ; but she then ran at 
and butted a boy that was feeding the others ; and she fre- 
quently attacked them with great fury. These symptoms 
attracted attention, and she was consequently ordered to be 
driven home. On her way thither, when she arrived at a par- 
ticular spot, she repeatedly ran back to her companions, in defi- 
ance of sticks and other weapons. At length she was driven as 
far as her old bolting place, when she fell down quite exhausted
