TETANIC SYMPTOMS IN INFLUENZA. 
By F. H. Parsons, D.Y.S. 
If it is not going too far back into the past, 1 should like to 
call the attention of the readers of the Review to a form of in¬ 
fluenza, if it is influenza, of which I had seven cases in the two 
months ending December 31st, but of which I can find no men¬ 
tion in any of my books. 
I describe one case, which is a type of all the rest: 
On Nov. 30 was called to see a seven-year-old bay carriage 
mare, belonging to a gentleman of Poughkeepsie, which, I was 
told, had a slight attack of “ this distemper that’s goin’ ’round ” 
about a month before, but from which she quickly recovered with 
no treatment, and had been regularly driven ever since. On 
Nov. 20 she had not appeared as well as usual, but was driven ; 
in the evening refused her feed; same next morning. 
I found the animal so debilitated as scarcely to be able to 
stand. Pulse 92 ; temperature 1061 ; no swelling of limbs or 
about eyes; no discharge either from eyes or nostrils then or af¬ 
terward, but I immediately noticed well marked tetanic symp-
