REPORTS OF CASES. 
mare I destroyed, this had been kept up for about fourteen hours. 
There was apparently complete loss of consciousness. The action 
of the heart varied. The temperature was high. 
In regard to the treatment, will say that I gave the aconite 
because I thought the symptoms justified it, not that I had ever 
seen it recommended for this trouble. Mare No. 3 received the 
strychnine and solution of aloes; however, on the following day 
she died. 
My recommendations were to make a complete change in 
the diet; to thoroughly clean the stables, and to keep the stock 
from this pasture. 
Since that time he has had no trouble with the rest of his 
stock. These have been my first cases with that trouble since 
graduation ; though three years ago, when on the eastern shore 
of this State, I saw some cases almost identical. At that time 
there were said to have been about fifty horses that died of this 
trouble within a radius of ten miles from where I was stopping. 
This locality, lying between the Chesapeake and Delaware bays, 
seems to have periodic outbreaks. 
EEUCOCYTH^EMIA IN A COW. 
By Prof. S. Stewart, Kansas City, Kan. 
Thinking possibly the readers of the Review would be in¬ 
terested in a brief account of what seems to me an unusual case, 
I send you the following notes. 
A cow was slaughtered for beef at a local abattoir. Post¬ 
mortem examination revealed general emaciation, with all the 
structures and viscera presenting the usual appearance of ema¬ 
ciated animals with the exception of the lymphatic glands and 
the spleen. The lymphatic glands in all parts of the body were 
greatly enlarged, varying in size from a walnut to a goose egg, 
and seemed upon section to consist of hypertrophied glandular 
tissue. The spleen, which ordinarily would have weighed about 
one and one-half pounds, weighed nineteen and one-half pounds 
and measured thirty-one inches in length, nine inches in 
breadth, and three inches in the thickest portion. Upon section 
the malpigliian corpuscles presented themselves as nearly white 
bodies, many of them one-third to one-half inch in diameter, the 
remainder of the spleenic pulp being normal in color and con¬ 
sistence. This condition was found in the anterior half of the 
organ ; the posterior half showed evidence of inflammation and 
disintegration. The peritoneal covering of the latter half was 
covered with an exudate and somewhat adherent to all adjacent
