4 th.—Other cattle had since been placed in the same pastures 
jiat the dog was in and remained over two months since he was 
t ere with no evil effects. 
5 th.—The cattle had been out of the pasture for over four 
eeks. 
6 th.—The case seen by me Nov. 5th, which was taken on the 
rd, or 108 days after the dog was present. 
I will give the symptoms seen in this case to date for the 
: jove reasons, though I shall have to report them in considering 
in detail. The first thing observed by the owner, Mr. Vance, on 
le 3d was that the steer was very much excited, bellowed furious- 
q and was rushing around horning the other cattle in his feeding 
ard very furiously, and tumbling the pigs around right and left, 
t was lassoed with some difficulty and placed in the scale-pen 
•here we saw it. It at once became more quiet unless approached 
d by strangers, or by the pigs, when it would charge furiously, 
t could not swallow from the moment it was first observed, but 
fould try to eat and drink. It was also constipated, but urinated 
requently. It would try to eat and drink, manure and urinate. 
On the morning of the 5th, when we saw it, it stood quietly 
i the pen, until I rushed quickly by and in close proximity to 
ts pen, when it made a half blind charge against the pen. The 
>upils were distended, round-oblong, and the eyelids were very 
ride open, giving to those organs a wild appearance in compari- 
on to the other cattle which we observed very carefully in the 
leighboring field. It had passed manure only once since yester- 
lay, but urinated several times in the course of about twenty 
ninutes, the urine being passed in small quantities; we drove 
ome pigs in near the pen, when it became very much excited, 
unning at the barriers. It soon became quiet again. 
I then requested that some food and then a pail of water be 
pven it. It took the ear of corn greedily and commenced to chew 
ipon it, but let it drop out of the mouth again after having 
i shewed it up. 
On water being given, a most singular phenomenon presented 
tself, which I think has never been recorded by any other ob- 
ierver. It tried to drink , but finding it impossible to swallow , it 
became more enraged than 1 had seen any of the others, and went
