small pasture, were well supplied with good, nutritious food, 
had access to excellent running water, had reasonable shelter in 
very inclement weather and were not worked. No. 6 continued 
to improve from the time noted above, until to all outward ap¬ 
pearance she was wholly recovered in March, 1895, and has so 
remained. No. 7 has at no time shown external evidence of the 
disease. During the present season (1896) Nos. 6 and 7 have 
been put to ordinary work and have done it efficiently and 
vigorously. No. 8 continues to all appearances sound. No. 9 
began improving shortly after inspection, March 22, 1895, and 
all physical signs of disease ceased during the same summer and 
have not returned. 
Subsequent to the isolation of No. 9, in March, 1895, no new 
cases have been developed upon the farm. 
Placing no dependence upon physical signs alone in this 
disease, the animals in question were studied, by the aid of mal- 
lein, as closely as their distance from the station and my college 
duties would permit. 
The subjoined tabular record of mallein tests indicates 
briefly the course of the disease.
