ON THE EPIZOOTIC DISEASES OF CATTLE. 
warm water. I also re-dressed the feet, and turned the cattle 
out during the day. The tonic draught was repeated daily for 
two or three days. They then began to feed and to yield milk as 
well as before. Some of them remained slightly lame during a 
week or ten days. 
The milk was used in the family during the whole of the time ; 
and, afterwards, the cows gave more milk than prior to the at- 
tack of the disease. 
These cows had been running in a field next to the Great North 
Road, and, possibly, they might have come in contact with some 
diseased animals passing thereon. 
The pigs in the yard exhibited the same complaint on the 
second day after the cows. 
July 8th. — Mr. Marsden Morton had twelve young bullocks and 
heifers, nine of which became affected ; the other three escaped, 
although running in the same field. Three of them were bled ; 
and as they became affected I had them removed into a separate 
pasture. The treatment was the same as in the former case ; 
they lay up at night, and ran in the field during the day. They 
had been running on a piece of forest seeds, by the side of which 
was a road, and a quantity of very lame sheep, going to Rother- 
ham market, had passed a few days previously. 
28th . — Eight milking cows upon the same farm are affected. 
Treatment the same as before. Four of them are rearing calves ; 
the other four are used for the family. The milk was used the 
whole of the time. The calves are now healthy, and have never 
had the least symptom of any thing of the kind in them. One 
of the cows was very bad from indigestion, but, as soon as the 
stomach was freely acted upon, she recovered. 
Aug. 1st. — Mr. Gyles, Treswell, had three cows affected. One 
was rearing a valuable calf. The calf was removed into a shed 
by itself. The cows in four days recovered by the treatment as 
before. The calf became suddenly bad on the 12th, but soon 
recovered. 
Sept. 27th. — Twenty-nine Irish cows, belonging to the same 
farmer, were running in some marsh land at Treswell. Twenty- 
two of them became affected and lame. Treatment as before. 
The feet were not dressed. The diseased ones were moved into 
another field as they became affected, but were not housed at 
night. 
Oct. 7th . — Five milk cows, at Eaton, belonging to separate 
cottagers, are bad and lame. Treatment the same, and to be 
turned out at days, and up for the first two nights. Milk used 
in their families as usual. 
At Ollerton, nine heifers affected. Treatment the same.
