hay was ordered to be given her every two hours, and the treat¬ 
ment, otherwise to be continued. All went on well for some 
days, when the proprietor,considering the cow to be cured,gave 
her at once one kilogramme of hay, when, at the tenth mouthful, 
the regurgitation recurred. From this time, However, with bet¬ 
ter regulation of the diet, nothing unfavorable took place until 
nearly two months after she was first taken, when M. Festal 
was again sent for. She had calved some time before, and 
the cow was now in good condition and fed well; she also 
seemed to be in good health; nevertheless, the respiration was 
accelerated, and she had been affected with a cough during 
the last month. The cough was frequent, dry, and irritating; 
the respiratory murmur was distinctly audible in the left lobe 
of the lungs, although somewhat feeble, while in the right 
lobe it was sensibly increased; but on the whole, there 
seemed nothing abnormal in the lungs, neither were there 
any indications of effusion in the pleural sacs. There being 
but little chance of a favorable result, on a subsequent visit 
the advice was to sell the cow to the butcher, to which the 
owner agreed. As the cow was sold to a coper, no post¬ 
mortem examination was made when she died, which was 
about three months after. 
TYPHOID FEVER IN A YOUNG COW. 
By the Same. 
The author remarks that the existence of typhoid fever 
in our domestic animals has been denied by some persons, 
and admitted by others, but he believes in its existence, and 
gives this case as an instance of it. 
A young cow had travelled some distance to and from a 
fair, where she had been sold as a milch cow to a dairyman. 
She was off her feed on arriving home, and seemed fatigued. 
She was consequently left for a short time, but not getting 
better, the author was sent for. He found the animal much 
emaciated, feeble, stupified, her eyes fixed; the pulse, though 
not hard, was jerking, nervous, and intermittent, beating 
40, then 50 and even 60, in the minute; the mucous mem¬ 
branes were injected and yellow; the mouth dry, but the 
lining membrane presented nothing particular; the skin was 
hot over the whole body, but more so about the head; decu¬ 
bitus frequent; the excrements soft, and sometimes watery and 
yellow in colour; thirst increased ; urine natural. On auscul¬ 
tating the chest, nothing abnormal could be detected, except a 
little wheezing at the upper part.
