Tits CATTLE PLAGITIL —Dr. Shettle, of CARR, an
the Rbysiologiaal Sub-section of the British Associa-
tion' last week, at Birmingham, over which Dr.
Aciasd presided, read a paper on the causes of the
cattle murrain. The author traced the dieemte and.
its virulenoe to the influence of those severe electrical
changes which have prevailed so extensively of late
in this portion of the globe, in withdrawing from the
blood of cattle oertain properties essential to health.
and life.—Dr. Crisp said he had had considerable
experience of the diseases of animals, and he believed.
, that electricity had nothing whatever to do with
present cattle plague That plague was, in his
opinion, a epecial poison, like the poison of cholers.
or small-poit It was a ettbtle agent of which we
.knew nothing at prettent, Old it *Se vory dotibtflil
whether we ever should. How was it likely that, if,
the disease arose from electrical changes, . those
changes shotdd affect the ot and not the sheep -De.
Shettle reiterated his opirlionj Mid siipported it by
reference to certain galvanic experiments whiell be
had made. —There was not time for the proper dim
curling of the paper; but Dr. Shettle has since
addressed the following oommunication in elucida-
tion of his views to t4e Times :-
816- I perlieire you beep rimatked In the column, of
Times upon the paper I bad the holiour tlf reading
Yesterday before the Physiological Department of
Section D at the meeting of the British Association at
Birmingham. I thisk I may be excused under existing
circumstances for troubling you to insert this letter in
your next impression, to explain somewhat more fully'
the views J hold with regard to the nature of the malady
and the treatment I would suggest for its relief. The
complaint; no dotibt, is a ditties. ot the blood, retembling
typhus and clitilers; depending partly noun the electrical
changes of the atthosphere and heat of the Weather
abstracting from the, body a part of its mineral principle;
which enables the blond to apprepriate the vital prin-
ciple and convey such to the various organs and parts of
the body. In spite of what has been said against did
use of iron in the came of Lord Granville's cattle,
cannot think the remedy has bed a fair trial. I would-
suggest that the tinothre of meopiiohloride of iron bar
used freely Internally and externally, sad that OE
animal be supported with gruel or say other nuteitioese,
food of a vegetable eharacter. My reasons for stiggesting.
thie plan are as fe!lowe :-1. The blood contains, or;
ought to contain, iron—the use of which no physiologist
hae been able hitherto clearly to define. This iron I
%whose to sot es an attracting and conducting medium
of electricity from • the lungs by means of the blood to
all parts ef the body, Upon the eerie priqeiple as iron
wires are placed epos our bodement attract and elonduen
the electric fluid from the clouds to the earth. t
This elertriaiby, when carried in a state of health to
the various parts of the body, has the power of com-
bining with other electricity developed in other ways,
and oonverts liquid matter into solid tisane. 3. When
the blood does Sot contain a sufhaeney of iron it does

animals which have died from this complaint. The iron,

that I know. 'The causes for so giving It Ire too fingthf
to enter upon hare' even were the pages of the Times
the proper medium for bringing them before the public.
I would suggest that the animals take water acidulated

small doses of sulphate of magnesia (Epsom salts) and
nitrite of potash j also that their bodies, especially the
spine; be *ell flintiest With apirits of wine, or water
