lavished upon him by his female. When taken out of his cage

the extremities very cold. On percussion over the thoracic walls

spleen and liver—somewhat in the lungs, and a few tubercles 
were scattered throughout the mesentery.

“ Epizootic Cellulitis ?” Evidently it is not proper to use either 
term indiscriminately in designating a disease. If there is such 
a disorder as “ Epizootic Cellulitis,” it must necessarily differ 
from “ Epizootic Influenza.” If the outbreak now affecting our
