To various correspondents who inquire respecting the supposed existence 
of an Epidemic among horses in the metropolis, we can only say that, al¬ 
though we have heard about it, we have seen nothing of the kind. There has 
been the usual, or scarcely the usual, number of catarrhal aflections, some of 
them severe ; but there has been no peculiarity in the symptoms, and 
nothing to warrant the application of the term epidemic. 
The cases of canker in the ear afford an illustration of atmospheric agenc)^ 
All but one occurred within a fortnight—they were unusually virulent, and 
they bade defiance to medical treatment ; and then, all at once, they disap¬ 
peared with scarcely any treatment at all. 
The cases of Phthisis go on favourably. The former condition and perfect 
health are not restored, but not a single rabbit ha.s died since the administra¬ 
tion of the medicine, allhongh several died daily before that. Y.
