 The Iowa Cattle Diseasss- 6r..,-ssa
 The Wilton Gewa) Exponent has the following information regarding the new cattle plague which has proved so fatal to stock in the neighborhood of that place $s-- d
 "The disease is as curious in its as it is fatal in it's result. The first indication of an attack is a violent switching of the muscles on the under jaw; then frothing at the mouth, from which Saliva flows freely the eyes be- come Watery and the animal seems to suffer the most intense pain, which in- ,reases from the moment it is attacked until death ensues, which in no case has been longer than twenty-four hours. They commence rubbing the head, mostly on the left side, and continue until the skin, and sometimes one of the ears, is rubbed, off; and the, head ,wells up so as to close the eyes in many cases. The last struggle seems 70 be tremendous one. The animals stand erect, and straining every muscle 70 the utmost extent, give evidence of powerful internal convulsion they utter the most pitiful cry, you can hardly call it anything else, and throw ng the head from side to side fall over lead. The best veterinary talent has been baxed to the extent of Its ability 70 find g name for the disease and 8 ,ure for the contagion, but without 'uccess. Change Of pasture will pre- 7ent fever, but has no influence in checking this malady. The remedies are numerous but in- effective.

 A New Remedy for Neuralgia.
 A remedy. named "aqua:puncture" las been introduced in France for he treatment of neuralgia. It may be described as 8 force pump which can ,e carried about, and placed on ] table, with small flexible tube about wo feet long, so constructed as to de- iver asthread of water from its extrem- ty with such force as to pierce leather. n operating on patient afflicted with leuralgia. thespiston is worked & few ines to expel the; air from the tube, he point is then held about half an nch from the painful spot, the pump worked, and the thread of water plays | n the skin. Presently a white vesicle | ppears on the spot where the water trikes, and any number of punctures nay be made at the discretion of the perator, and in proportion to the ex- ent of the pain. At first, the skin round the vesicle becomes red i; but, fter a few hours, the vesicle and the edness disappear, leaving only small 1 Jack point, which is the crust formed l y the drying up of drop of blood in he puncture. The operation is de- cribed as painful :; but the relief it reduces is so great that patients al- 7ays call for a repetition whenever their leuralgic pains return.
