THERMOMETRY IN CONTAGIOUS PLEURO-PNEUMONIA.

diseases, which was an error; and, besides, pleuro-pneumonic 
animals are often seen with smooth hair. 
Such are the theoretical conclusions I came to by the use of 
the thermometer. Let ns see now in the practical point of view. 
I must say first that much patience was required to complete 
my series of observations, as I will show : 
(a.) I lirst introduced the instrument in the mouth. I will 
only cite one observation. Oct. 8Oth the thermometer marked 
in my office 14°3. I placed it in the mouth; after the first min¬ 
ute it shows 32°5, after two minutes, 35°5 ; three minutes, 36°1; 
four minutes, 36°6 : five minutes, 36°9 ; six minutes, 37° ; seven 
minutes, 37° 1; 8 minutes, 37° 2; 9 minutes, 37° 2. Then 8 min¬ 
utes to obtain that temperature, and 9 to show that 37°2 is the 
maximum. 
( b .) At three different times I held the bulb of the thermome¬ 
ter in my right hand. The 25th of Oct., in my office, at 46 min¬ 
utes past three it marked 13°6—at 42 minutes past seven, it 
showed 14°8 in my office also—and at 34 minutes past 8 outside 
it registered 10°.
