FURTHER EXPERIMENTS WITH LUNG PLAGUE. 
In August, 1883, I inoculated with lung plague exudate 
sterilized by heat on a number of cows going into dairy stables 
in New York and Brooklyn. One went into an infected 
stable in Seventieth St. and Second Ave., New York, and 
two went to McDonald’s, Greenpoint, which was habitu¬ 
ally infected. The dealer, P. McCabe, assured me a year 
later that none of these contracted lung plague. 
April 3, 1884, I inoculated with similar sterilized exudate 
eight cows for J. Colman, five for-Reilly, and nineteen 
for Mrs. Lynch, all in Eighty-ninth St., New York, seventeen 
for D. F. Murphy, Ninety-second St., and second for Mrs. 
Barry, Ninty-fifth St., and from the later reports of these 
parties I have reason to believe that all the cows operated 
on escaped the disease which habitually existed in the 
locality. 
Twice I have had untoward results in herds wherein the 
plague existed at the time. In one case the diseased lung 
used to furnish the lymph was an unsatisfactory specimen, 
having little exudate in its substance, and the disease con¬ 
tinued to occur in the herd. In the second case the only lung
