dose of calomel. Reduction of temperature if it becomes nec¬ 
essary, carbonate of ammonia as a cardiac and respiratory stim¬ 
ulant, control of the fever by means that have already been 
indicated, digitalis and alcohol if the heart show signs of flagg¬ 
ing and the treatment of complications as they may arise. 
The disease being the same whether it affects man or animal 
it seems to me the same treatment might well be practiced in 
' Veterinary medicine. 
It must not be forgotten that many cases of pneumonia will 
recover without treatment (and also in spite of some treatment) 
and the less we complicate our case by giving unnecessary 
drugs the clearer will be the course and the symptoms of the 
disease. 
EXPERIMENTS WITH TUBERCULIN ON NONTUBERCULOUS 
COWS. 
By Prof. James Law, M.R.C.V.S., Cornell University, Ithaca, N. Y. 
On October 28th, 1894, the following cows were set apart 
for this experiment: two Holstein cows, and one Jersey in full 
flow of milk, being about six weeks after calving, and two 
dry, farrow cows of common stock, one pointing to a Shorthorn 
ancestry, and the other to a Devon one. Meanwhile observa¬ 
tions on the milk of three other cows, two Holstein’s and a 
Jersey, about the same length of time after calving, afforded a 
fair comparison between cows treated with tuberculin and others 
under similar condition, but without such treatment. 
The first five cows to be tested with tuberculin, each received 
in proportion to its size, a full dose of tuberculin weekly, and 
the temperatures were taken 'before the injection for the normal 
standard, and about every two hours from about the ninth to 
about the twentieth hour after each tuberculin injection.
