Some curious cases of disease
were noticed among horses in New
York duriag the days immediately
following tie 'subsidencc Of the
storm. A number Of Aorsea, about
thirty in all, were seized with
paralysis OF the hind legs, most OF
them while being driven along
the street, and had to be shot. Dr..
johnson, Of the Society for the
Prevention Of Cruelty to Animals,
stated that the disease, which is
a form of blood poisoning. is dae to
overlooking an animal for two or
three days while he is stalled and is
given no exercise. 1t attacks the
hind legs. and unless immediate
relief is given-such as putting the
horse in a sling in his stall-the
disease is almost sure to prove fatal.
