REPORTS OF CA8E8. 
FEBRIS PUERPERA.LIS PARALYTICA. 
By the Same. 
I have another case at your service. On the 28th of July, I 
was called to see a sick cow in the country, three miles from 
Pittsburgh. On my arrival there I was told that the cow had 
calved and was doing well, and cleaned well, and everything was 
all right that day, but she became sick on the morning of the 28th, 
and I found all the symptoms of febris puerperalis paralytica. 
Symptoms: .The cow was down and not able to get up. Her 
head was in her side, and her eyes cloudy and watery, pulse feeble, 
75 ; skin cold. The cow was restless and tried to get up, but could

Mix and give one-fourth part every two hours, in one pint of 
linseed oil. 
On the 29th I found her very low, as she had tumbled out of 
her stable. She was put back again into the stable but had be¬ 
come so weak as to be unable to lift her head. I ordered the 
same as No. 2, without the linseed oil; I saw her the same night at 
10 o’clock, when I gave her: 
Soda Sulphas.
