VETERINARY LEGISLATION. 
A. I have seen it. 
Q. Give us the names of any works on the horse you have 
read ? 
A. I have read a number of different works. I have got Dr. 
Dadd’s and Brown’s works. 
Q. Isn’t it laid down by the best writers that this roaring or 
whistling is frequently caused by paralysis of the nerves or mus¬ 
cles of the throat ? 
A. It might be caused by a difficulty with the muscles of the 
throat—that is just what I said. It is caused in the first place by 
inflammation in the throat. 
Q. What is the difference between inflammation and paraly¬ 
sis ? 
A. There isn’t much difference ? 
Q. You swear that a person that has an inflammatory disease 
is in the same condition as a person suffering from paralysis ? 
A. If he has got the paralysis long enough to have a fever, it 
would be the same. 
Q. You say if he has got paralysis—what do you mean by 
that ? 
A. If a horse had paralysis in the legs, it wouldn’t affect his 
throat. I hardly ever saw a horse have paralysis. 
Q. Is paralysis an affection of the nerves or muscles ? 
A. I should think of the nerves. 
Q. Is it a disease, or the result of disease ? 
A. Sometimes it is the result of disease. When it gets along 
far enough to cause a fever, it is disease.
