He afterwards took to leaping, as it w T ere, round the box, seizing 
and breaking the rails, &c., shaking his hay and making personal 
attendance dangerous. These symptoms gradually subsided, but 
the light of a candle always caused their recurrence. When in 
action he had a peculiar gait similar to stringhalt. 
In the discussion that ensued the analogy existing between 
some of the above and rabies was considered, and a case of the 
latter disease was related by Mr. Clark, the President asserting 
that a constant feature in rabies of the horse was a peculiar 
dropping of the spine and cringing action when made to move, 
as though dreading a pursuer, and that violence was not a sure 
indication of madness; Mr. Eowe reverting to the complication 
of liver affections with nervous disorders, and the presence of 
cholesterine in the brain; and Mr. Hunting to the similarity of 
the second case of Mr. Cox's with “ immobilite.” Mr. Cox in 
reply stated there w r ere no hydrophobic symptoms in the case of 
phrensy, but rather extreme fearfulness. He believed that Mr. 
Burrell's case was a cerebro-spinal affection, and the annoyance 
of light due to amaurosis. In the cases where the trachea was 
affected it was ecchymosis rather than oedema glottidis. The 
meeting then adjourned. Present twelve fellows.
