plied for four days, followed by counter irritation, the swelling 
disappearing in about fifteen days, without any discharge. The 
animal did not appear to do well, having a cough, and partial loss 
of appetite. On the day I went and saw him he was found with 
slight abdominal pains; respiration, 50 ; pulse, 85; temperature, 
105J°; anxious expression. A diagnosis was made of lobular 
pneumonia, prognosis guarded, having fears of a suppurative ter¬ 
mination. He was sent to the hospital on that day, and arriving 
here at two o’clock, was immediately given quinine 3 ss, which 
lowered his temperature to 104J°. That night at 8 o’clock he was 
given 3 ii quinine, and on the day following his temperature had 
fallen to 103°; quinine was stopped then; stimulants from start, 
and no further trouble during his sickness. I would not have 
given such a large dose of quinine ordinarily, as this horse did 
not weigh over 950 lbs., but fearing the formation of pus, I gave 
the dose both for antipyretic and antiseptic effects.

pneumonia within the United States, and as affecting the cattle 
from the United States, as they are landed in Great Britain. 
After stating various facts, and making some quotations from re¬ 
ports of the various inspectors, who were appointed by the De¬ 
partment in the different States, going to show that the extent of 
infected territory does not differ materially from that already de¬ 
fined by him, Mr. Lyman goes on to say:— 
“ I do not know that I can add much to this report that will 
increase its value; the facts speak for themselves. Although I 
think that most decidedly England has never received a case of 
pleuro-pneuraonia from either Boston or Portland, I still think
