So that it is simple nonsense to assert that the male bovine is ex¬ 
empt from vaccinia; and it betrays ignorance of what has been 
observed by competent men, as well as lack of knowledge of 
pathology in general and this disease in particular.

SUPPURATIVE BRONCHITIS IN A PIG, PRODUCED BY SPORES OF 
TILLETIA CARIES. 
The majority of the diseases lately attributed to the spores 
of tilletia caries have had for their seat the mucous membrane of 
the digestive apparatus. (See Drs. Albrecht, Koch, &c.) In 
some cases, the simultaneous existence of a catarrhal rhinitis has 
been observed, and in another mention has been made of a special 
action exercised by these spores upon the uterus (Gerlach). 
No notice of any alteration attending the lesions produced 
by their action upon the mucous of the bronchia has yet been 
published. Berndt thinks that the publication of the following 
case may be of interest. 
Called the third day of August to examine a pig which had 
died, he found that the animal had lost its appetite for the last 
eleven days, and had since suffered from diarrhoea, very severe 
towards the last days, and then becoming complicated with 
dyspnoea. 
At the post mortem, the skin and muscles were found normal, 
the stomach contained a small quantity of a yellowish viscous 
fluid; the gastric mucous membrane presented near the cardiac 
portion an inflammatory redness, and towards the pylorus erosions 
appeared of various sizes, with also slight infiltration. A grev- 
yellow fluid formed the contents of the intestinal canal; the mu¬ 
cous of the larynx and trachea presented catarrhal lesions, the 
trachea being in different parts the seat of erosions of different 
sizes.
