SHOOTE, among Neat Cattle, an affection of the bowel 
kind, with which calves are often attacked a few days after 
calving. The usual symptoms are, first, a colic or pain that 
is more or less violent, and is frequently very severe and dan¬ 
gerous, especially when it is contagious. This colic is ter¬ 
minated, and the calf relieved, by a discharge taking place 
from the bowels; though this sometimes proves fatal before 
the shoote appears. Secondly, a loathing and refusing of 
food, even previous to the discharge ; which decreases and 
increases according to the duration and violence of the dis¬ 
order. Where the disease prevails, the best medicine which 
can be administered is that of eggs and flour properly blended 
with oil, melted butter, and aniseed, linseed, or similar mu¬ 
cilaginous vegetable matters; and milk simply mulled with 
eggs mav be often given with much advantage.

street, London. Historians represent her as extremely 
beautiful, cheerful, and generous. The king, it is said, was
