Autopsia .— It is found that in animals who have died of 
this disease the lungs remain in a state of distension, 
although there is no hepatization ; but there is a quantity of 
air diffused under the pleura, and in the interlobular tissue, 
similar to that found in broken-winded horses. All the 
other organs are found healthy. 
The treatment, which is generally efficacious, consists in 
the avoiding of bleeding and the use of sedatives, as well 
as revulsives ; but tonics and astringents must be freely 
administered. The diet should also be changed from the 
green debilitating food to the dry and stimulating. Under 
this system the animals soon recover; but it sometimes 
happens that they remain asthmatic, and the cough is 
persistent. In these cases tar-water, colophony, and the 
Balsam of Tolu must be resorted to. 
M. Demeester observed this malady to exist in 85 heifers 
and 30 cows last year, none of which have died. 
EAST FLANDERS. 
The following epizootic diseases prevailed during the 
quarter, viz.—18 cases of glanders and farcy, 7 of which 
were cured; 378 cases of pleuro-pneumonia in cattle, out of 
which 117 were cured; 123 cases of aphthous fever, which 
were all cured. In the pig, there were 24 cases of charbon, 
of which 5 were cured. 
M. Delree has observed a large number of cases of diabetes 
in the horse, which he attributes to the foreign barley on 
which they had been fed. They were successfully treated 
by the preparations of iron, and change of diet. The same 
practitioner records two cases of poisoning, by phosphorus, 
in the cow. It was found in the chymous matter contained 
in the stomach, which had a strong characteristic smell. 
When this matter was put in a dark place, it emitted phos¬ 
phorescent sparks. It is supposed that the phosphorus 
was obtained from some matches which had accidentally got 
amongst the peelings of potatoes which were given to the 
cows.
