The Cattle Disease.

AYLESBURY, Monday.—A cow belonging to a
milkman named Haystaff died here yesterday from
the disease. The animal was under treatment by
Mr. Sepper, veterinary surgeon, the inspector for
the district, assisted by the advice of Mr. R. Ceeley,
one of the members of the royal commission. The
symptoms of the disease were unmistakeable, and
the_animal was buried with all due precaution. This
is the first approach of the disease to the valuable
herds of cattle in the vale of Aylesbury. The ma-
gistrates, at their meeting on Saturday, issued an
order, under the provisions of the recent order in
council, prohibiting the bringing of horned stock to
all fairs and markets within the district for the next
five weeks.

SUFFOLK.—The disease has made its appearance
at Sudbury; one has been attacked, but rather
mildly. At Melford the disease still prevails. It
has carried off the remainder of the fine dairy of
cows (20 in number) and one bull, belonging to
Mr. H. Westropp, of the Place Farm ; Mr. James
Beaumont, of Cranmore Farm, and Mrs. Joseph
Byford, of Rowhedge Farm, have each lost several
more in addition to those already published, making
the loss of the former 20 beasts, and the latter 36.
Mr. Decks has also lost another cow, making his
loss two cows. The disease has also shown itself
among a portion of the stock of Mr. Woods, of
Bridge-street Farm, who has lost one cow, besides
slaughtering severalbeasts by order of the inspector.
In the course of lest week the dairy belonging to
Messrs. Potter, of Reingate-street, Bury St. Ed-
mund's, was attacked with the disease, and upon
Mr. Taylor, veterinary surgeon, being called in, he
found the symptoms such as to leave no doubt
as to the nature of the malady. Four cows
were killed forthwith, and two or three more
were separated in consequence of suspicious ap-
pearances. Every day others have been attacked,
and 11 have been killed under the order of the in-
spector; indeed, there seems every probability that
the entire dairy will be cleared off. At Wattisfield,
during the past week Mr. Cason has lost two more
cows. He has only two left out of his dairy of
seven, one of which has recovered from the disease.
At Rickinghall an entirely fresh case has occurred.
Mr. Charles Norton called in the inspector on
Friday, the 29th ult., and he at once condemned
and destroyed six young beasts ; two more have
since fallen victims.

NEWCASTLE.—There seems to be no signs of the
cattle plague having yet reached its worst in this
town. On Saturday three fatal cases came under
the notice of the inspectors ; and on Sunday there
were four more deaths. Two of the cattle belonged
to Mr. Hindson, who has now only one left out
of twenty-two which were in his dairy a week or
two ago. Three of the deaths on Sunday oc-
curred in one dairy, making five fatalities since
last week. These cows had been for some days
under the treatment of Mr. Richardson, the manager
of Messrs. Pleus and King ; but, as is universally
the case, without avail. The animal which Dr.
Alexander was treating by hydropathy has at length
succumbed to the virulence of a disease which seems
to have no remedy. This animal had been carefully
attended by Dr. Alexander since last Sunday. Be-
sides these deaths, the plague has broken out in two
fresh byres, in one of which there are six cows. One
of the byres is in Gallowgate, and close to a dairy,
in which there had previously been some deaths from
rinderpest. The cows as they die or are destroyed
are removed to the manure works, where they are
thrown into a vat of sulphuric acid. One of the
cows which died on Sunday was being removed just
as the people were coming out of the churches, and
the spectacle of a dead cow being carted through the
streets at such an hour excited great attention. On
Sunday 32 head of cattle arrived at Newcastle by
the Lord Raglan, from Rotterdam. They were re-
moved to the yard on the New-road, where they
were examined by Mr. Wilkinson, and owing to the
appearance of two of them, Mr. Wilkinson ordered
the lot to be kept in quarantine.—Newcastle
Chronicle.

-EDIN---13URGII.—Seven new cases of rinderpest have
been reported to Professor Dick, which have oc-
curred in city byres already infected, and two new
cases in byres at Roseburn. Four new cases have
been reported in the same interval from two byres
in the south side of the city which have hitherto
been exempt from disease. Seven cows have died
in city byres, and two in byres at Roseburn. Total
number of new cases reported since .rrlday, 13 ;
number of deaths, 9. Since the outbreak of the
plague in the Edinburgh byres early in August, 390
cows have been affected. Of these, 320 have died
or been killed to prevent infection of healthy stock,
36 have recovered, and 34 are still ill. The plague
has been present in about 70 byres during these two
months, and in some of them has carried off the
entire dairy stock. The total number of byres
within the municipal area was estimated by Dr.
Littlejohn shortly before the outbreak of the
plague at 171, and the number of cows, 2,085.—

[ADVERTISEMENT.)—That the fearful annual mortality of
60,000 young children and delicate persons of all ages may be
arrested, if, instead of flying blindly to pills and medicines,
which, though apparently relieving the patient, have in
reality no other tendency than that of increasing debility,
and with it the danger of life, we were simply to study how
to increase the vital force by imparting new and pure blood
upon which the harmonious development of the whole frame
depends, has been successfully proved by Du Barry's Inva-
lids' and Infa.its' Food, the Revalenta Arabica, and its
thousands of cures annually. It yields three times as mush
easily assimilated nourishment as the best mat, and for
children it h the best substitute for human milk. Dr.
Routh, physician to the Samaritan Hospital for Women and
Children—the best authority on such matters —in his admir-
able publication on Food, says—Amongst the vegetable sub-
stances, that which comes closest to milk in its composition
is, without doubt, Da Barry's Revaienta Arabica Food, con-
aining both phosphoric acid in abundance, and chloride of
potassium ; it also includes casein, the same principle which
is found in milk in its constituent part+. No wonder, there-
fore, chat under its influence many children affected with
atrophy (wasting away of the body), and marked debt ity,
have completely recovered. I have given it with the greatest
advent ,ge in such cases; and so far as I may judge from my
own experience, practice fully carries out what theory,
from a knowledge of its composition, led us to anticipate.—
