FOOT-AND-MOUTH DISEASE. 697 
Such is the brief outline of two cases illustrative of the 
diseases in question. 
Pathological Contributions. 
CATTLE PLAGUE. 
From recent information it would appear that cattle plague 
still continues to prevail in several governments bordering 
on Austria and Germany, and in those adjoining the Black 
and Baltic Seas. The disease is also reported to have broken 
out in the neighbourhood of Warsaw. 
In Turkey, cattle plague is prevalent in five districts of 
Moldavia, and an outbreak of this disease is also reported in 
the Vilayet of Salonica. 
In Austria, this disease has lately broken out in the 
District of Borszcyower, in Galicia; also in the Commune of 
Somogzer, in Hungary. 
Several of the Russian papers state that cattle plague of 
the most virulent description has appeared in the Province 
of Volhynia, the principal cattle district of Russia. In one 
village alone 200 head of cattle died in a few days, and in 
many parts of the province not a cow remains alive. The 
losses sustained by the peasants depending upon cattle 
rearing for their livelihood have reduced them to beggary. 
The Russian authorities are making no effort to check the 
disease. 
* PLEUROPNEUMONIA. 
In the Netherlands during the four weeks from the 11th 
of July to 7th August, no case of this disease is said to have 
occurred. 
In Great Britain there were, during the month of August, 
91 fresh outbreaks and 220 cattle attacked with pleuro¬ 
pneumonia. 
In Lancashire pleuro-pneumonia has again manifested 
itself at the farm of Mr. Tomlinson, Higher Booths, near 
Rawtenstall. Altogether, nine animals have been slaughtered 
at this farm. The disease has also appeared at the farm of 
Mr. Dixon, Henheads, near Haslingden. The diseased 
cattle have been slaughtered. 
SWINE FEVER. 
In Great Britain there were, during the month of August, 
183 fresh outbreaks and 857 swine attacked with this disease.
