THE CATTLE PLAGUE. —The treatment practised
by Mr. Worms, and which proved so successful with Lord
Leigh's herd at Stooeleigh, as described by Lord Leigh in
our Saturday's impression, has sinoe been tried by Mr.
Worms upon some infected animals in the herd of linen
M. de Rothschild at Mentmore. When Mr. Worms ar-
rived, the animal first attacked had already exhibited all '
the symptoms of the disease for upwards of 48 hours, and
Mr. Worms pronounced the rase to be hopeless. He, how-
ever, administered his specific, and though there is some
fear that the animal may still die from exhaustion, the
disease itself appears to have been conquered. In the other
two cases the treatment was so successful that both animals
were last night believed to be out of danger.—Timer.
