ON THE INFLAMMATORY FEVER OF CATTLE. 
Bp W. Youatt. 
[Read at the Veterinary Medical Society, Jan. 7, 1329.]

SEVERAL excellent papers have been read to the Veterinary 
Medical Society on certain diseases of the horse. I congratulate 
myself on being the first to address the Society on the diseases ol 
a somewhat inferior, but valuable class ol patients; not so iden¬ 
tified with our pleasures, but little less useful ; and constituting a 
very considerable proportion of our agricultural wealt i. 
The malady which I have termed Inflammatory Fever in 
Cattle, is designated, in different parts of the country, by a strange 
variety of names, each of them, however, indicative o some 
symptom, or stage, or consequence of the disease. Uiack
