The stables were frequently fumigated with sulphur and char¬ 
coal burnt in pans. 
Prognosis of live cases fatal; on the others guarded. 
After examining arid making notes, administering medicine 
etc., I left at 3 p. m., returning at 7 a. m. Aug. 11 ; case No. 10 
and 11 dead. 
Held post-mortem. 
From this date on they all improved. Aug. 20th, all dischar¬ 
ged. 
The dry cows were examined on the 11th, all well. 
Aug. 30th, I was called again. One of the dry cows that ap¬ 
peared well in the forenoon, was found dead about 6 p. m. On 
examination five of these were sick; all received the pot. chi. and 
acid, carb., including those that did not show symptoms. All 
recovered. Recommended horses to have the same treatment. 
Sept. 2d, called at 6 a. m. to see a two year old colt, supposed 
to have distemper (strangles) having begun to swell in sub-maxil- 
lary space on the evening previous. When I arrived at 10 a. m. 
found colt was dead. 
This colthad run with the dry cows until the 30th inst. Only 
one dose of medicine had been given to the colt. No animal died 
on this farm after receiving two doses of medicine. 
There are four or five farms adjoining this one, on two of 
» 
which the cattle were put under a course of treatment. None of 
the cows on these two farms showed any symptoms. On one of 
the other farms, three cows died ; the remainder were then put un¬ 
der treatment, one of which had a temperature of 107°, all recovered. 
The next place it made its appearance was about one mile from 
the first farm ; two cows and one bull died suddenly ; twenty- 
seven were put under treatment and all recovered. 
Another adjoining farmer lost two. 
The other outbreaks were as follows: 
Seven miles from the above place, one cow dead and one sick 
on my arrival. Put eight cows under treatment and all survived. 
My next call was in Sullivan Co., town of Liberty, where I 
found three dead steers, two yearlings, one two year old, another 
two year old sick, also five heifers from two to four years old. 
Same treatment and all recovered.
