Nevertheless, although the difference is not remarkable in this 
report, yet it is certain that animals are most frequently attacked 
with this disease in the spring and autumn, and in the latter of 
these seasons and the month of June especially.

management which may be the cause of staggers, we find that 
during the autumn the air is usually moist and cold, and in 
spring moist and warm. But with regard to the latter season, 
we have to notice two other influences which may unite with the
