A CASE OF DUMB RABIES IN A COW. 
By Me. Baebe. 
A dog suspected of hydrophobia was killed after having 
bitten another dog and a young heifer. The heifer was bit¬ 
ten on the upper lid of the left eye, near the nasal angle. 
The wound measured about two inches in length, and was 
superficial, the epidermis only being scratched, and no hem¬ 
orrhage following. A diagnosis of rabies was made at the 
autopsy of the dog, in consequence of the lesions found, viz., 
foreign bodies in the stomach, such as stones, pieces of wood 
and straw, and a highly congested condition of the mucous 
membrane of the stomach. The cow was isolated, and every 
thing seemed to continue in a normal condition for a period 
of twenty-seven days after the bite. The eye had not been 
cauterized, and the wound had healed readily. 
On the twenty-seventh day she refused her food. Then, 
besides the anorexia, came loss of rumination, with profuse 
salivation, but no excitement. The general condition was 
good, and there was no change in the locomotion. She re 
mained unconcerned' in the presence of the other animals, 
dogs, fowls or cows which were about the place. Nothing 
abnormal appeared about the mouth, and the nose was cool 
and moist. No alteration occurred for two days, when her 
voice changed, becoming loud and irregular. This condition 
lasted until slaughtering. The principal manifestation was 
an impossibility to take food, but there was no pain connected 
with this ; it was simply a regular paralysis. The post mor¬ 
tem revealed no specific lesion. If not a case of dumb rabies, 
what was it ?—Recueil de Med. Vet. 
CEREBRAL TUMOR IN THE HORSE. 
By Me. Molleeeau. 
Common as this affection is in the horse, this case was one 
of unusual interest, on account of the seat of the tumor, and 
also of the nature of its structure. The animal was a grey 
stallion, about thirteen years old, which had been operated
