appearance of this disease lias been its severity, it having carried 
off many of the patients of all the gentlemen who have written to 
me about it. 
Parturient Apoplexy has been prevailing in Illinois, Kentucky 
Wisconsin and New York. 
Tuberculous Diseases. —Dr. Winchester, of Massachusetts, 
mentions that disease as prevailing more or less in Massa¬ 
chusetts, and Dr. G. Kidney, New York, reports also four cases 
in old cows. We much regret the silence which exists in connec¬ 
tion with this disease, which all of us know can be met daily in our 
dairies, and cannot feel but greatly disappointed to have so little 
to report about Pieuro-Pneumonia , a disease which to us American 
veterinarians ought to be so interesting, because of the im¬ 
portant part it has acted in calling the attention of Americans 
to veterinary medicine, and still upon which 1 have nothing 
to report. I cannot officially, from professional authority, say 
to you, it is here and not there, with the exception of Penn¬ 
sylvania, Dr. Miehener being the only one who says: “ The 
efforts of our Commonwealth, through the Governor’s special 
agent, to suppress pleuro-pneumonia, has seemingly worked 
well. We are now free from the disease, as far as known.” 
Strangles —Have been reported as quite extensive in Ken¬ 
tucky and Wisconsin. Knowing the character of the disease, it 
is not surprising that such should be the case in these breeding 
States. 
Tetanus. —Connecticut, Alabama and South Carolina seem to 
furnish us a large proportion of this affection. Dr. Mclnnis 
reports to us fourteen cases of that disease, twelve traumatic, two 
idiopathic, of which one was in a cow. Of these, live recovered, 
nine died, also the cow. Tetanus occurred as late as sixteen days 
after punctured wounds of the foot, while some died in fifty 
hours after tetanus appeared. Some lived twenty days. 
Periodic Ophthalmia is reported as very prevalent in 
Illinois 
Foot Rot in Sheep in Wisconsin. 
Scab in Sheep in Wyoming Territory by Dr. Hopkins. 
Lung Worm has been been quite prevalent in Ohio; several
