Says that deaths from an unusual and
rather peculiar cause are reported from
three widely separated localities. For
want OF better title the reporter for
Madison county, Fla, calls it "sand,"
and describes 1t in much the same terms
as the correspondent for Arkansas, Tex
who says: "The animals lick or eat
sand, which precipitates in the stomach
and is lmmovable unless immediate
remedies are taken" A post-mortem
examination Is said to show the sand
white, dry, and much compscted. Ia
Msriposa county, Cal, 1t IS spoken of as
a peculiar disease, quite fatal, accom-
panied with caked sand In the stomach.
