In short, the general principles which Professor Simonds
lays down for the guidance of fiockmasters who may happen
to be visited with an attack of small-pox among their
sheep are—to isolate the infected sheep from the healthy, to
separate the former into small Jots, to protect them from at-
mospherical changes, to husband the strength of the pa-
tients by good nursing ; to use depletive remedies with the
greatest caution, and only in the first stages ; to have early
recourse to stimulating and tonic agents; to guard against
the use of local applications, except when ulcerous sores
exist; and last, but not least, to call in the services of a
properly educated veterinary surgeon, and rely with con-
fidence on his judgment and skill.

Nearly three weeks have now elspsed since Mr. Parry's
flock were inoculated, and it is worthy of remark that out
of 446 ewes in which the disease was thus artificially, as it
were, produced, he has lost only four, while of those which
took the disease naturally, the losses have already been 60 per
cent., and there are numbers of other sheep of the recovery
of which there is little hope--indeed, the total loss of those
who have taken the disease in a natural way, Mr. Parry
estimates, will not be much short of 65 per cent. Putting
this, therefore, in contrast with the results after inocula-
tion, which, under the most unf ,vourable circumstances,
are not expected to average a mortality of more than 6 per
cent., the desirableness of inoculation immediately upon the
appearance of the disease in a flock, is placed beyond
doubt.

The deaths in the Allington flock up to the present time
cannot be reckoned at less than 400; but as the lambs were

not inoculated for at least a week after the older portion of
the flock it is impossible to say what the ultimate result

will be. One thing, however, is already apparent—that the
lambs which aro sickening aro by no means so seriously

affected as those which took the disease naturally, and there
seems every reason to hope that the rate of mortality will
be light even among this portion of the flock, although
young sheep are, as a rule, always more susceptible to the
influence of the disease than those of older growth.
