istalsis. The arm returned from exploring the rectum was 
covered with bad-smelling blood. Ordered the enemas kept 
up every hour with acidum carbolicum added. Hot packs 
to be kept up. 
Was called out of the county, and upon returning at io p.m. 
was surprised to find her up and eating. All functions nearly 
normal; recovered. 
Cases 9, 10, 11, 12, 13 and 14 not materially different from 
some cited. No. 15 was like No. 5, except that there was a 
regurgitation in her throat when she breathed. Inquiry re¬ 
vealed that a quart of kerosene oil had been poured through 
the nostrils and much had passed into the lungs. Died before 
I left. 
No. 16.—Extreme torpid type. Had been down 22 hours. 
Died fifteen minutes after taking cathartic. I got the credit 
of killing her with my medicine. 
Nos. 17, 18, 19, 20, 21 and 22, very much like No. 1. All 
made good recoveries. 
No. 23, very much like No. 2 ; treatment the same. Cow 
died three hours after the first dose of medicine. The other 
cases up to No. 34 were but a repetition of some already given. 
No. 34 was a large grade Holstein, eleven years old. She 
was the third cow I had treated for that man within two 
years, for the same disease ; and she had her calf in the same 
box stall that was occupied by the others. I am not prepared to 
say, as yet, that, for lack of proper sanitary precautions, the 
germs of contagion were spread. 
Nos. 6, 17 and 31 were the same cow. When sick as Nos. 
6 and 17, the disease presented the torpid form ; but the last 
time it was highly congestive and she died within three hours 
* 
from the time she went down. 
I am attending, at this writing, the only case I have ever 
had where the cow was ill-fed. I am not altogether positive, 
as yet, of my diagnosis; I have seen the cow but once and 
fear complications. 
Now I consider any evidence of glandular activity as a fav¬ 
orable symptom. Keep up peristaltic action, if possible. 
Frequently empty the bladder ; keep the udder emptied; get
