Gentlemen: | beg to report that
was again called to Lafayette on the
26th inst, upon the authorization OF
Mr.. Edmond Mouton, for the purpose
of holding a post mOrtem examination
upoa the body of a horse. the property
Of Or. Guidry. said horse having died
near the premises of j. Doucet, pre-.
viously examined for Charlton. After
a careful and complete examination OF
the carcass. not the slightest evidence
of Charlton was to be found, but in
stead a general and acute infiamrna-
ton of the large bowels together with
a complete rupture of the bladder.
This was very probably preceded by
collie or blind staggers, resulting in
death in ; or four hours. The animal
was dead on my arrival.
Respectfully submitted,
E. l.. LEWIS, V. 5.
In regard to the above report of DR..
Lewis, Mr.. j. d. Mouton being pres.

ease. of which his cattle were dying,
was Charlton: that he had cut pieces OF
the dead animals liver and spleen and
submitted same to DR.. H. L. Ducrocq,
who kindly consented to make an TX
animation and who thereafter pro-
nounced the same charbon: that at the
request of Mr.. j. Edmond Mouton he
had sent to DR.. w. H. Dalrymple al

diagnosis.
