Ky., who resort to it. I do not mean to altogether decry the 
antipyretic effect of quinine, for I have had that effect from it in 
a minority of eases, but I think that too much reliance should not 
be placed upon the popularly-believed action of the drug. There is 
such a state as ephemeral high temperature, and this is doubtless 
responsible for some delusive data. I only recommend this active 
measure wiien there is a continuance of the high temperature, and 
where the controlling power of nature does not seem to be suffi¬ 
cient for its abatement. In conclusion, I would recommend a 
trial of autypyrine, especially in purpura, where it acts very well, 
as I will record at some future time. It is as good a haemostatic 
as the tincture of iron or turpentine, and is a valuable addition to 
the therapeutics of this disease.

Before giving more details respecting the nature of scalma, 
we shall describe a few cases observed at the clinic of the Berlin 
Veterinary School. 
A livery keeper had twenty-nine horses, kept in two stables, 
comfortably aired and provided. In June, 1883, scalma broke 
out in one of the stables, upon seventeen horses, most of which 
had had pferdestaupe in 1882 and two of them brustseuche in 
1883. 
1. On the 16th of June the owner brought to the clinic a 
mare which for five days previous had refused her food. The 
symptoms present were: general dullness; great weakness of the 
extremities; conjunctive of a dark red; eye dull and partly 
closed ; pituitary surface red; mouth dry and pale; ausculation 
and percussion presenting nothing abnormal; with now and then 
a short, repeated cough. No medication was recommended. Hy- 
genic regimen was advised, which was followed in four days by 
recovery. From the 16th to the 20th the respiration had varied
