from it’ they are not preformed and forced there by the action

Glanders has nearly remained stationary; of farcy there 
has been less during this trimestre. The greater part of the 
cases were furnished by the establishments of the post and 
coaches, and also by barge horses on the canals, in which 
seventeen cases have occurred. M. Fabry has met with 
three cases in an establishment of the Messagerie. One of 
them had enlarged glands and discharge from the nose, the 
two others had only the glands tumefied. 
Pleuro-pneumoiiia in cattle. —The increase which had been 
felt in 1859 has diminished; the number of cases have been 
less than during the last quarter; the number of cured has also 
increased; those affected with it sent to the butcher are on the 
increase. This is of good augury, as there is now no longer any 
doubtthat,althoughpleuro-pneumoniaarisesfrom many causes, 
it is also propagated by contagion, and that the malady and 
losses would be a great deal less if the fanners would submit 
their newly acquired stock to a quarantine. It is not only 
the fair of Malines which is justly suspected of transmitting 
the disease, but also that of Wavre has a large share in it. 
A veterinary surgeon of that canton has lately given an 
account of the malady which broke out on a farm in conse¬ 
quence of a cow which was recently bought at the fair of 
Wavre. 
Inoculation .—M. Devleeschower has experimented on this 
subject; he has inoculated in three sheds where pleuro¬ 
pneumonia had broken out, but he only gives an account of 
the results of one, reserving the two others for the next 
trimestre . In a shed at Steenhuffel he reports a cow fell 
sick on the 10th of August, the symptoms were those of the 
prevailing pleuro-pneuinonia; a second case occurred on 
the 25th, that of a fat beast which was also attacked and 
sent to the butcher’s. From this case he obtained the mat¬ 
ter with which he inoculated ten cows in the infected 
shed and five calves in another. On the 2nd of September 
one of the inoculated cows was attacked and was slaughtered; 
on the 11th four of them lost part of their tails, two others 
had a slight swelling; in three, including the one killed on 
the 11th, the reaction was nil; two of the calves had a slight 
tumefaction. It is the first time, the author says, that he 
has had to combat serious consequences after inoculation. 
A gangrenous tumour in two cases extended to the sexual 
organs, the udder, and the loins, and it was only with great 
difficulty the lives of the animals were preserved. The disease 
has disappeared from this shed, sparing all that were inocu¬ 
lated, whether or not reaction had taken place.
