May 26, 1898, each calf received a second inoculation of 4 
cc. defibrinated blood, subcutaneously. Eight days later they 
all showed a lack of relish for their food, which continued 3 or 
4 days. Nothing further was noticed until September 10th, 
1898, when one of the heifers of Lot I died. All of the remain¬ 
ing heifers produced good healthy calves in the spring of 1899, 
and have all passed the summer of 1899 successfully, though 
they have been very ticky and have perhaps suffered some from 
them.

HEIFERS. 
Lot I, consisted of ninety-four pure bred Shorthorns, whose 
ages ranged from six to twelve months. They were raised in 
New York, Ohio, Indiana, Illinois and Iowa, and had been 
bunched on the owner’s farm in Coles county, Illinois. 
October 15, 1898, each received 2.5 cc. of defibrinated blood 
subcutaneously. The blood used was from a six-year-old ox 
which had been raised in Southern Texas and had been brought 
to Illinois in September, 1898.

of the clinical notes have been supplied by Mrs. Dr. Green.

sick. Five or six have been stupid 2 or 3 days, and half of the 
bunch show symptoms of fever. The largest ones are not af¬ 
fected apparently.” 
“Nov. 2d (17th day). One of the calves died yesterday 
(16th day). Two are very sick ; others are in various stages. 
Nearly all are discharging mucous from nose and mouth. They 
show staring coat, drawn and pinched appearance, drooping 
ears, panting, stiffness of the limbs, glassy eyes. In many the 
catarrhal symptoms, labored breathing and weakness, are severe.” 
“ Nov. 4th (19th day). No local trace of the inoculation 
on any of the calves. Two of the smallest are sick. Some are 
getting better and some are just taking sick. The heifers seem 
to be less severely affected than the bulls. The most pronounced 
symptoms are, drooping ears, nasal discharge, which is bloody
