and treatment were 1649 : namely, 1050 horses, 2 cows, 2 sheep, 
2 goats, 13 pigs, 522 dogs, 19 cats, and 39 fowls. 294 patients 
were visited at their owners’ residences; namely, 86 horses, 
1 ass, 103 cows, 5 goats, 1 roe, 28 pigs, 65 dogs, 4 cats, and a 
parrot. 
It appears that there has been in this year an increase of 294 
patients (2156 only having been treated in 1836), and this in¬ 
crease is principally in the horses and dogs. 
The greatest number of patients nnder treatment at one time 
was in June, when 270 were on the sick list. The smallest num¬ 
ber (127) was in January; the average number in each of the 
other months was 198. The g-reatest number of horses under 
o 
treatment was in June (160), and the least numbers in January 
(69) and in December (72) ; the avarage number in the other 
months, was 123. 
The greatest number of cattle came under treatment in No¬ 
vember (17), and the least in January (1): the average numbers 
were 9 per month. 
The dogs were most numerous in June, when we had 90 pa¬ 
tients ; and there were fewest in December (50): the average of 
them per month was 59. 
We had most diseased cats in October (7) ; the average per 
month being from 1 to 3. 
In general, the following is a fair average of our patients:— 
Out of 100 animals, 80 are cured ; 6 remain uncured ; 4 are 
killed, 7 die, and 3 remain under treatment. 
Of 100 horses, 4 were only examined ; 81 cured ; 8 remained 
uncured; 3 died in consequence of violence, and 3 by disease; 
and 1 remained under treatment. 
Of JOO cattle, 71 were cured ; 1 was left uncured ; 16 were 
slaughtered ; 5 died ; and 7 remained under treatment. 
Of 100 dogs, 1 was only examined ; 77 cured ; 2 remained 
uncured ; 7 were killed ; 12 died ; and 1 remained under treat¬ 
ment. 
The mortality among horses was greatest in June, when 10 
died ; and, in April and August, 7 died; but the average number 
of deaths per month was from 1 to 3. 
Among dogs the mortality was greatest in November, when 
24 died. It was also great in September and October, for then 
we lost 17 or 18 ; but the average number in each month was 
between 6 and 10. 
Epizootic Disease. 
The predominant symptoms of diseases of an epizootic nature 
were, in general, of a bilious and nervous character. They
