developed, giving to the entozoon a very different appearance 
at this part to the others. None of them varied much in 
their dimensions from head to tail, and could hardly be said 
to taper towards either of their extremities. From the entire 
substance of the kidney being absorbed, and the ureter 
being nearly impervious, the worms were isolated, and placed 
as it were in a sac. The ecchymosed spots, spoken of by Mr. 
Bickford, had apparently been caused by the sucking of the 
entozoa; a fact which received confirmation by their being 
of a red colour, and filled to repletion with the blood of the 
animal.

SYMPTOMATIC DISEASE OF THE BRAIN OF A

A favorite short-horn cow, the property of Jonas 
Paxton, Esq., of this place, was on Sunday morning last 
observed to be ill for the first time in her life. On my

Slight tympany of the rumen was also present, and the third 
stomach could be plainly felt in the flank when the animal 
was moved over on the right side. 
She was found lving on the left side, and continued to 
kick with her legs, occasionally putting her nose to her side, 
and when first observed would allow her head to remain on 
her shoulder for some time. 
From the urgency of the symptoms, I could entertain no 
hopes of recovery; nevertheless, I abstracted blood, and 
exhibited a powerful cathartic drench, and followed it up 
with enemas. 
She died the same evening, and on examination the fol-
