biting- and tearing at the bars, even going so far as to break 
her teeth, and lacerate the tongue and mouth in general. The 
cage not being safe with such severe attacks, we deemed it 
best to destroy her, which I did by placing some cyanide of 
potassium on a cornstalk, and allowed her to bite and lick it. 
Post Mortem .—Her stomach contained nothing but a 
bunch of grass and hay with a few splinters of wood inter¬ 
mixed. She had only one kidney, which was of enormous 
size, all other organs apparently normal. 
On April 13, 1895, we received the cow from Mr. G-, 
which this dog had bitten. Thoroughbred Jersey, two years 
old, fresh two weeks, well nourished, and giving a good supplv 
of milk. Her calf was taken from her and she was placed in 
a pasture containing a thin crop of alfalfa. 
History .—The owner saw this dog bite her on the nose, 
which was a very slight laceration and responded readily to 
simple local treatment. She acted rational up to April 16, 
1895, when she refused food and drink. On April 17th, she 
acted strangely, following the man when he brought the horses 
to pasture ; would rub up against him and lick his clothing. 
The cow previous to these symptoms was very docile. She 
used to suck herself, so we placed her under restrictions. We 
kept her in this pasture until Thursday, April 25, 1895, when 
she began to get vicious and made such a noise that we placed 
her in a special stone stall in the hospital. 
From now on she began to get worse, having regular fits 
of spasms, eyes bulging, frequent attempts at urination, which 
would come in little squirts at first, constipation, but later 
the fasces were watery and flowed involuntarily. When 
she bellows she drops down suddenly, sometimes her head 
going under her body—thus we had to pull it from under her 
to prevent suffocation. She takes some food, chews it for a 
while and drops it out of her mouth again. Slobbers consid¬ 
erably while eating. If you approach her suddenly she be¬ 
comes very much agitated. Her bellowing is unlike a cow 
in health, but prolonged and penetrating. Tried to take her 
temperature, but the rectum is continually filled with fasces, 
and then she falls so often it isn’t safe to be with her. Pupils
