a husky cough, and Mr. C. said several of them did not come up 
to feed in the morning. After looking the bunch over carefully I 
told the owner that I thought with proper treatment most of 
them would recover, but that I had my doubts about one or two. 
He said if I thought I could do any good to go ahead. 
I ordered them removed to a warm shed and to be fed on 
corn and oats ground together. Not knowing what I would 
find, I had not come prepared to treat them, so I returned home. 
When I went back the next day I found my patients in a warm 
shed. I directed two assistants to catch and secure each animal, 
while I administered the following intratracheal injection : 
Turpentine, 3 i- 
Carbolic acid, mx. 
Olive oil, q. s. 3 it 
I also ordered turpentine, 3 ss, in one pint of milk, to be given 
each calf every morning for three successive mornings, then to 
wait three days and repeat the dose. I also prescribed a tonic 
composed of ferri sulph., pulv. gentian, magnesium sulph., and 
chloride of sodium, to be given in feed twice a week. 
On the 19th I again called. I found the animal that had 
been down dead ; but all others improving. All were eating 
better, cough and diarrhoea had stopped. I again repeated the 
intratracheal injection, also ordered the turpentine and milk re¬ 
peated. I again saw them on the 27th and all were improving 
in flesh and all symptoms of parasitism had disappeared.

OUTBREAK OF CEREBRO-SPINAU MENINGITIS. 
By E. F. Koehler, D.V.S., Easton, Pa. 
On February 23, 1897, I was called in consultation with 
another veterinarian to examine a number of horses owned by a 
farmer. Upon my arrival one gelding, quite aged, was dead, 
another, a two-year-old colt, was lying down and unable to rise ; 
another gelding, aged about ten years, was drowsy, unable to 
swallow, although willing, with a discharge of stringy saliva 
from the mouth, weak, flabby muscles and staggering gait. 
Another, a gray mare, about eight years old, was in about the 
same condition. The temperature of all was about normal, the 
pulse slightly decreased. The remaining horses were compara¬ 
tively well. 
At the autopsy upon the horse that was dead all internal 
organs were normal, but upon examining the brain found slight
