the beginning of another August, I shall be very happy to see 
any candid and well-informed brother practitioner to assist me 
in investigating the real nature of this disease. I have now 
three cases of moor-ill, of which I will send you the particular, 
if you will insert them in your excellent periodical. 
[We shall be happy to receive and to insert the cases to which 
Mr. Cox refers.] 
ON PUERPERAL FEVER IN CATTLE, IN ANSWER 
TO MR. WILSON. 
By Mr. Friend, of Walsall. 
In The Veterinarian for March last, was inserted an 
article of mine on Puerperal Fever in Cows: this has been at- 
tacked in the last number; and I shall feel obliged by the Fidi-

and changed for linseed gruel as soon as it could be procured. 
1 stimulated the spine immediately from behind the horns, along 
the cervical vertebrse, and also along the back, with a very strong- 
liquid blister, made more active by the addition of ant. tart. 
This was repeated frequently until her convalescence. 
The drink was repeated at six p.m. Raking and clystering 
employed also.
