REPORTS OF CASES.

ing from the ordinary method of vaccination. I accompan¬ 
ied Dr. Smith to the home of the patient, who lived on a small 
farm some two or three miles distant, and on making- a sur¬ 
vey of the premises discovered that five cows milked by the 
patients were affected. Their teats were more or less cov¬ 
ered with pocks in the various stages of development. 
To substantiate the diagnosis we determined to inoculate 
young heifers in perfect health and not giving milk. As fur¬ 
ther evidence, samples of the lymph were sent to the sur¬ 
geon-general of the army and Dr. Martin & Son, of Boston. 
The former returned the material, stating that he had no 
facilities for making tests; the latter, however, used the ma¬ 
terial with results that proved it to be the lymph of true vari¬ 
ola vaccinas, and with the written statement were enclosed a 
few points prepared for vaccinating purposes. 
After a lapse of ten days we again visited the farm to ob¬ 
serve the results of our experiment. Every abraded surface 
had responded, and the injected lymph had produced pocks 
identical with those on the teats of the cows excepting that 
the crusts were not so well organized. Pimples, vesicles and 
pustules were well defined. 
QUININE IN PNEUMONIA.

In your last issue I was much gratified to note the earnest 
desire for he members of the veterinary profession to contri¬ 
bute more liberally in the reports of cases. For us there is 
no other part of the Review so int resting as that given to 
the^e reports. While we appreciate the resu’ts of investiga¬ 
tion reported in foreign periodicals, we do not feel that inter¬ 
est, pride and stimulus that would characterize reports from 
our own country. We admit that with many others we are 
not much devoted to literary pursuits, but with the assurance 
that our efforts will not be entirely ignored, we should at 
least make an effort. 
Our report will be devoted to the use of quinine as an 
antipyretic in pneumonia. The patient was a brown mare
