AT DRESDEN.

were not only frequently associated with fevers and bilious dis¬ 
eases and their consequences, as in the dog labouring under 
dropsy, and the horse with water in the brain: but likewise in 
all periodical fevers. Rheumatism and catarrh were almost al¬ 
ways accompanied by exacerbations. In like manner the cerebral 
diseases shewed themselves, partly in the frequent appearance of 
a nervous form of disease, as vertigo, apoplexy, madness, &c.; and 
partly in many nervous symptoms in febrile diseases, and in the 
transition of the latter into nervous complaints. The frequent ter¬ 
minations of internal inflammation in mortification, and the more 
frequent occurrence of a bad form of catarrhal lymphatic fever 
degenerating into glanders, appear to confirm this. 
Jn January the most prevalent diseases among horses were 
apoplexy, inflammation of the brain, and fever ; the most frequent 
among pigs were quinzy ; and, among dogs, catarrhal fever and 
inflammation of the throat and ear. One dog was attacked by 
rabies. 
In February there were many cases of vertigo and mad stag¬ 
gers among horses—some rheumatic fever with a bilious charac¬ 
ter; and one horse was attacked by tetanus. The dogs sufl'ered 
from bilious catarrhal fevers, vomitings, and diarrhoea : one dog 
also became rabid. 
In the first half of March, catarrh was very prevalent among 
all domesticated animals ; and, in the latter part of the month, 
rheumatism predominated. Horses were attacked by spasmodic 
colic, an eruption on the skin, and suppurating sores about the 
tendons. Sv.'ine by quinzy, and dogs by a nervous rheumatic 
fever. Three dogs, which had been bitten, became rabid ; and 
a horse died of tetanus. 
In April, catarrh and rheumatism alternately predominated 
among horses, cattle, goats, and dogs. In consequence of the 
increase of bad pasture there were many cases of apoplexy and 
inflammation of the brain. A horse became tetanic; a dog 
rabid ; and inflammation of the udder and throat appeared among 
sheep after lambing. 
In May, the horses suflfered from spasmodic colic; calves from 
rheumatism and diarrhoea ; lambs from stiffness of the joints 
without swelling; and dogs from nervous catarrhal fever. One 
dog died rabid. 
In June, pleurisy with hydrothorax was very prevalent among 
horses, as was rheumatism. Dogs and cats were frequently 
attacked by influenza ; and two dogs became rabid from inocu¬ 
lation. 
In July, catarrh and rheumatism were again prevalent among 
horses, cattle, and dogs. Sheep shewed a great inclination to
