reaching the stable I founcl her standing at her manger eating, 
and occasionally bellowing for her calf. She soon regained her 
flow of milk, and is again at the head of the herd. 
No. 4 (Recovered ).—Was a six-year-old red cow, not very 
fat, with a mild attack. I was called two hours after its first 
appearance. Potassium iodide was administered as before; no 
stimulants. The animal made a nice recovery and was up in 
six hours. 
No. 5 (. Recovered ).—A medium sized, well-fed cow, seven 
years old, with an attack of medium severity ; treated with the 
potassium iodide ; no stimulants ; was up after twelve hours. 
Did not regain her regular flow of milk until several weeks 
later. 
No. 6 (Fatal). —An eight-year-old cow in fair condition, not 
fat, but a good milker, was found in a pasture eighteen hours 
after the first symptoms were manifest ; was completely para¬ 
lyzed ; her general appearance resembled that of a corpse ; skin 
and extremities very cold ; eyes wide open; head and legs 
stretched from her. She was not able to stir, but would utter 
loud, painful groans. She was brought into shelter, where we 
made her as comfortable as possible. Potassium iodide with mild 
stimulants were applied. After six hours she was resting easier, 
which was late at night. Upon my arrival the next morning, 
I found her in an orchard near by, picking an occasional mouth¬ 
ful of grass, but was very weak. The stimulants were kept up 
for several days and she was doing nicely. When calling four 
days after she had a normal appetite and appeared well, but 
had no milk. This remained the same until the seventh day, 
when she stopped eating and drinking, and died several hours 
after. I had no opportunity for an autopsy. 
No. y ( Recovered ).—A very fat Holstein cow, seven years 
old. I was called five hours after the trouble began. The 
attack was quite a severe one. Potassium iodide infused ; no 
stimulants. The patient was up in nine hours and made a 
rapid recovery. 
In view of the above facts we must conclude that the potas-
