the lumbrici or the ascarides; and I have salivated the horse 
by continuing its exhibition too long. At all events, I would 
correct it by the addition of an aromatic, as ginger; and I would 
endeavour to expel it, and the worms too, by a good dose of 
physic, before I had given too much of it. 
I like better Professor Pcall's tartarized antimony. Although 
that has often failed to expel the worm, it never did mischief;

or eight days. The treatment of worms, however, is also a sub¬ 
ject lor some experienced practitioner to take up. I apprehend 
we are all of us sad blunderers there. 
I now, gentlemen, have arrived at a halting place. On a future

it will be no authority at all with any one who is like

Dropping after Calving .—Evident palsy of the hind quarters. 
The owners appear to be convinced that the animals are irrecover¬ 
able ; and generally kill them as soon as the disease takes place. 
In two instances I carefully examined the dead animal, but could 
not discover any morbid appearance to account for the disease. 
In a third I found excessive inflammation of the uterus and 
vagina. Cows that arc constantly stalled and confined for 
milking are most subject to it, which the owners begin to be 
aware of, and many turn them out into not too luxuriant pasture
