CONTAGIOUS PLEURO-PNEUMONIA.

ms their individual characteristics which it is unnecessary 
detail here. The peri- and endocardium are occasionally in- 
dyed in the general inflammation of the thoracic organs, and 
equently we have the more grave lesion of myocarditis 
, th rapid, weak, intermittent pulse. Profuse diuresis occurs 
mewhat rarely after several days’ duration of the disease. 
A quite common sequel, usually after the crisis and during 
parent convalescence, is the appearance of the so-called 
eumatic inflammation of the sheaths of flexor tendons in 
;Tacarpal and metatarsal regions, and sometimes of the 
movial membranes of the elbow, stifle, and at times other 
1 ’ 
nts. 
The patient’s temperature has been normal, or about so, 
1 petite good, appearance bright, and every indication of 
mvalescence is present when suddenly it becomes excessive- 
lame, refusing in many cases to put the affected member 
: the ground; if a sheath of flexor tendon is the seat of 
lection it swells rapidly, the parts become tense, hot, very 
:inful to touch; when deep-seated joints are affected the 
:jective signs are less manifest or absent. 
When more than one limb is affected the animal remains 
'eumbent most of the time, resulting in the early appearance 
: extensive bed-sores. The whole system becomes fever- 
again upon the appearance of severe lameness, and 
dess promptly relieved, rapid emaciation ensues. I 
:ve not noted suppuration of the affected parts, neither does 
inflammation shift from one limb or part of limb to an- 
:ier, and after recovery I have not seen recurrence of the 
meness. These facts lead me to believe it embolic, and not 
'eumatic as most veterinarians urge. Diffuse spinal menin- 
; is occurs rarely at about the same stage of the disease as 
15 so-called rheumatic inflammations, and presents symp- 
ns offering no distinctive features from ordinary menin- 
2 is. 
Dieckerhoff mentions in addition to the above sequelae and 
implications, spinal paralysis, due to specific inflammations 
) aponeuroses of loins and hips, or diffuse infiltration of 
spinal pia mater, pulmonary hemorrhage, inter-pleural
