ous injection, however, he was completely successful, and the 
lesions of the former were similar to those in Johne’s cases. In¬ 
jection of the material into the jugular vein produced, in the 
course of two or three months, typical new formations in the 
lungs. The details of these experiments are very interesting, and 
I regret I cannot transcribe them here. But they conclusively 
prove that the artificial production of the disease does not alter 
in any way its characters. 
# There is no record of any instances which might tend to show 
that the disease may be accidentally transmitted; though the fact 
that it is inoculable leads us to suppose that it may be conveyed 
from one animal to another, from one man to another, or from 
animals to man, and vice versa. 
Ponfick relates the case of a woman, thirty-four years of age, 
who was attacked by the disease, and who had been for several 
years employed as a servant, in which position she was frequently 
among sick cattle, and these were affected with what the veteri¬ 
nary surgeon who attended them called “ warm ”—the popular 
name in Germany for the malady under consideration. This is 
the only case of probable transmission recorded. 
Now, however; that attention is likely to be directed to the 
disease by veterinarians and surgeons, we may be able to note 
its accidental transmission from diseased to healthy animals, and 
to mankind.

October 10th.—I was called on by Mr. Willium Eehternach 
to see some sick cattle, four miles northwest of Sterling.
