REPORT OF THE COMMITTEE ON DISEASES. 
309 
attacks of azoturia in Rhode Island; diarrhoea amongst new 
born in Dakota; a few cases of purpura hemorrhagica in Ala- 
bama, and quite a number of laminitis in New York, are re¬ 
ported by Drs. Townshend, of Columbus, Ohio ; Peabody, of 
Providence; Agersborg, of Vermillion; Colsson, of Mobile; 
Manz, of New York. 
A letter received this A. M. from Dr. Thayer, informs me 
that glanders was not as extensively common as in 1881, and that 
a peculiar cattle disease, whose nature was not positively known 
to him, had been reported in the town of Il.olliston. 
This, gentlemen, forms about the entire resume of the an¬ 
swers which I have received, and to which I am afraid I have, 
through, lack of time, been unable to do justice. In concluding, 
and while here, I take opportunity to address my sincere thanks 
to all those who have seen lit to communicate with me. I beg 
also to report that I have at your disposal a number of very in¬ 
structive papers which can be read now or will be, later on, pub¬ 
lished in the Review.
