A TUBERCULOUS HERD. 
645 
Tag No. 1.—Jersey (or high-grade Jersey) cow. Autopsy re¬ 
vealed tuberculosis of both lungs and mediastinal gland. 
Tag No. 2.—Red and white cow. Autopsy same as No. 1. 
Tag No. 31.—Grade Jersey cow (a “roarer”). Autopsy re¬ 
vealed an enormous post-pharyngeal abscess, containing 
perhaps two quarts. 
Tag No. 3.—Jersey cow. Autopsy showed tuberculosis of both 
lungs. 
Tag No. 7.—Roan cow, grade shorthorn. Autopsy showed 
tuberculosis of both lungs, especially the right, and an 
abscess in the left fore-quarter of the udder. 
Tag No. 34.—Roan cow, grade shorthorn. Autopsy revealed a 
few small nodules scattered through both lungs, and a 
considerable tuberculous deposit in the mediastinal glands, 
Tag No. 4.—Jersey cow (a high grade). Autopsy showed 
extensive tuberculosis of both lungs, nodules covering the 
pleurae of the ribs and diaphragm, tuberculosis of the liver 
and udder. 
Tag No. 32.—Jersey cow (or high grade). Autopsy showed 
abscess in both hind quarters of the udder, and a few 
nodules in the lungs. 
Tag No. 6.—An old red cow, so old that lower teeth were 
nearly all gone. Autopsy showed considerable tubercul¬ 
ous deposit in the left lung (more than one would have 
expected during life) and a few small nodules in the right 
lung. 
Tag No. 35.—An old Jersey cow. Autopsy showed a tubercul¬ 
ous mass in the upper part of the posterior lobe of the left 
lung. There was also a large abscess just pointing in the 
left flank, extending upward between the paunch and ab¬ 
dominal muscles, and surrounded by an extensive peri¬ 
tonitis. This was probably the result of a blow from the 
horn of one of her companions, and may and may not
