LIST OF VETERINARY STUDENTS. 
I will describe an analogous one, which I owe to the kindness of 
M. Foures, M.V. at Montesquieu. 
“ In February 1835, I was desired to attend an ox belonging to 
M. Albert, of St. Leon. He drew himself as far back from the 
manger as he could, having his ears hanging down, and his head 
low. The head was occasionally raised a little, but only to fall 
again immediately. He was in a complete state of somnolence; 
his sight was entirely gone — the pulse was frequent — the skin ad- 
herent, and the walk staggering. The animal could not move, 
without the greatest difficulty, the right fore-leg, which had, how- 
ever, preserved its perfect sensibility. 
“ Treatment . — Copious bleeding — enemata, and the dashing of 
cold water on the head. The proprietor refusing to have a seton 
inserted, M. F. was limited to the employment of the means just 
mentioned, together with the plentiful use of diluents. This mode 
of treatment not being attended by any good effect, he had recourse 
to purgatives. The disease, however, increased, and became com- 
plicated with paralysis of the right side. The animal pressed his 
head against the wall, from which it was almost impossible to re- 
move him — the pulse became very slow — the sense of sight and of 
hearing were gone — and at length the animal died, after an illness 
of three weeks. 
“ Autopsy . — There was nothing abnormal either in the abdominal 
or thoracic cavities. In the cranium, however, the meninges were 
red, and a sero-sanguineous fluid surrounded the brain in great 
abundance, and filled the ventricles. The left lobe of the brain 
was much softer than in its natural state ; but the right hemisphere 
was hard, and when it was cut with a scalpel, a creaking noise 
was heard. When crushed under the fingers, the cerebral pulp 
seemed as though it contained numerous grains of sand. It was of 
a whitish yellow colour.”
