of the dependent parts is a favorable symptom, and should 
not be confounded with purpura-haemorrhagica. 
Other Complications. — It occasionally happens that 
other irregular complications supervene to cause the death 
of the animal, one instance brought to my notice by a con¬ 
sultation, in which there was an intense nephritis, with an 
enormous hyper-secretion of urine, the animal having re¬ 
covered from all other evidences of the disease but this, 
which could not be controlled, and which terminated fatally 
in a few weeks. Another instance in my own practice, when 
the animal entirely recovered, with the exception of a small, 
weak, rapid, intermittent pulse, which could not be influ¬ 
enced by drugs, and which terminated in death a few weeks 
after apparent convalescence. Haemorrhagie Iritis is not un¬ 
frequent after complication of this disease, but which usually 
yields readily to ordinary treatment, the reabsorption requiring 
from two to three weeks. Plastic iritis is occasionally seen in 
this disease after an apparently complete convalescence. These 
complications develop rapidly, and an animal which in the 
evening was, to all intents and purposes, perfectly sound, is 
found in the morning entirely sightless.
