very abundant transudation into the sac of the pleura, or by a 
spasm of the lungs complicating the pleuritics transudates. At 
other times the complication is very mild, and there is simply a 
catharrhal affection of the anterior portion of the respiratory 
tract, a bronchitis or a laryngitis. In this case the cough is 
thick, the discharges purulent, and accompanied by a serous 
infiltration into the inter-maxilary space, but which rarely run 
on to suppuration. Convalescence goes on regularly, and after 
five or six days the discharges become thicker and disappear. 
This form of disease is especially seen in old animals, and is 
accompanied with but little lebrile disturbance. 
Localization Upon the Spinal Cord. —In the course 
of the disease, even with complications of enteritis, pleurisy 
and pnenmonia, the animal is often struck with paralysis, falls 
to the ground and soon dies. In rare cases the congestion is 
arrested at the lumbar plexus. M. Trasbot has noticed but a 
single case in a horse presenting symptoms of enteritis, pneu¬ 
monia and pleurisy. This patient remained paralyzed in the 
hind quarters for 24 hours, and there was a total suppression 
of sensibility and motion. 
Localization Upon the Feet. —Founder is a very rare 
complication, but remarkable instances have been cited of this 
localization coming on 12 or 24 hours after the appearance of 
the first symptoms. It is impossible to move the fouudered 
animal, there is extreme sensibility, and great heat of the 
hoof, walking is impossible, the animal supporting his weight 
upon his heels. Added to this an intense fever superinduced 
by the sufferings of the animal. 
ANASARCA.— Anasarca is frequently a complication, not at all 
influenced by the localization of the disease. These infiltrations 
which are usually noticed, increase, and there are produced le¬ 
sions much resembling those of purpura-haemorrhagica. As in 
this disease the infiltration of the connective tissue of the extrem¬ 
ities may so distend the skin as to produce fissures at the folds 
of the articulations. This complication usually occurs with very 
young animals from 3 to 4 years old. A moderate infiltration
