The New Epizootic Disease amongst Horned

Cattle.

We aro sorry to find that the reports which have been rife
respecting the outbreak of a severe epizootic amongst dairy
cows are not without foundation. The first cases are said to
have happened in Mrs. Nicholl's cowsheds at Islington.
They were attended by Mr. Priestman, a veterinary surgeon
in the Caledonian-road, and he believes that he had seen a
solitary case of the same disease previously in a dairy at
Hackney ; but about this there seems to be a little doubt,
The first cows attacked at Nicholl's sheds were six new cows
which had been purchased about a week previously in the
Metropolitan Cattle Market. Twor or three of these cows
were attacked on June 23. They all had the disease and
died. It is the custom at this dairy to place newly pur-
chased cows in a shed by themselves for a short time ; but it
so happened that in the separate shed kept for this purpose
two or three old cowshad been placed with them. Theprin-
cipal shed, containing over 90 cows, is airy, habitually kept
clean, and well ventilated, and situated 50 or 60 feet .from
the quarantine shed on the opposite side of a paved yard,
on which the dung is heaped before being removed. The
same men who attend to the quarantine shed attend also to
the principle shed. After the new cows the next
attacked were some in the principal shed, the old cows
in the quarantine shed being seized later. The disease
spread rapidly, and it was considered advisable to send the
healthy cows to the fields. Still it spread amongst the
stock, until at the time wo write no less than 110 or 115
cows have died or been killed on account of it. Adjoining
the cow sheds are layers, in which cattle are received prior
to the market. Of all the cows attacked only throe re-
covered after a fortnight's illness, and having seen them
we can testify that they are in a miserable state of emacia-
tion. Since the outbreak in this shed the disease has
been observed in many dairies, large and small, in the north
of London, and wo are informed at the Veterinary College
that it has also proved fatal as an epizootic at Doncaster,_e
_
Burton-on-Trent, and in other pasts of the countwrye.
havew
are informed at the Veterinary college, w
seen a case of the disease, that the course ofhtehree illness is
somewhat as follows :—The cow, previously

times there is tympana's. Prostration and collapse follow,
the extremities become cold, and subcutaneous emphysema
is observed in the loins. Death usually results in a period
12 hours to seven days. We understand that Prof..
of
finfireorn udsragards the disease as identical with the rinderpest
or steppe murrain of Russia and Austria. Others regard it as
a typhoid or enteric fever. On.examination after death the
intestinal mucus membrane is found reddened, especially
towards the rectum, and Peyer's glands enlarged) and with
this there are emphysema of the lungs and other organs.
From what we have said it would appear likely that the
disease has been imported through the agency of Spanish or
Hungarian cattle, which Nicholl's cows must have been in
relation with, either in the market or the layers adjoining
their sheds. There are some difficulties in deciding upon
its spread by contagion alone, inasmuch as in one shed near
the Veterinary College where ten cows wore kept which
had not been out of the shed, into which no new cows had
been introduced, the disease broke out about a fortnight
ago. Two or three cows were seized the same day, and
in a week all were dead. We have made inquiries amongst
the cow keepers at Islington, and find that in one of the
largest sheds, where 400 cows are kept, not a single case
has happened ; that on the eastern half of that parish no
cases have been found, but that some of the sheds on the
western part of the parish have suffered more or less, some
severely—one cowkeeper has loss all his cows. Several
of the cowkeepers state that they have made up their
minds on the occurrence of the first case to sell off all their
stock. An order in council was issued on the 24th inst.
for inspection of cattle under the Act of 1850.—Medical
Times and Gazette.

A new, and, if its reported success is confirmed,
a most important remedy for the cure of aggravated
pulmonary complaints, is now being exparimanted on by
the medical profession in Paris. It is the administration of
raw me.at, or of warm blood of animals, to patients in the
last stages of consumption. Drs. Montargis, of Paris, Des-
martis, of Bordeaux, and Fuster, of Montpelier, have, each
with some modifications, employed this singular remedy in
their practice, and according to their statements produced
wonderful results. When the warm blood is given, it is
disguised so that the patient is not aware of what he is
drinking. It is also stated to be very efficacious in scrofu-
lous diseases and chronic dysentery.
The musicians belonging to the orchestra of the
Grand Opera at Paris have sent to the manager a long me-
moir setting forth a great number of reasons which induce
them to ask for an augmentation of salary to the extent of
G 5,0001! a-year for all the ineuthere of that body.
