    dance on the surface of the vagina, on the margin of the lips, and at the openings of the nostrils. All three died. 7. On Dec. 28th, I visited 15 valuable pedigree animals. Three or four had previously died. The plague had visited this place on Sept. 3rd, and two cases of recove¬ ries are mentioned in this narration. One took the disease a second time and died. Arsenicum had been steadily given to the remaining lot. One of the 15 died the day after I saw it, and another on the second day. I never saw worse cases. Five recovered—a most satis¬ factory result under circumstances so unfavourable ; the more so, as pedigree animals bear the disease worse than others. 8. Mr. B., Edgware-road, had 10 cases ill on Nov. 25th. Eight cases were killed for butcher’s meat, and 2 recovered. Mr. B. visited a friend in Oxfordshire whose father-in-law had a bull ill from plague, and getting bell. He sug¬ gested pJios. in addition to bell.; the same remedies as I had prescribed for his own cattle. The bull recovered. Mr. B’s. friend was visited by the disease on the night of his departure ; these cattle were put under the same two medicines. Up to my last information the following are the results :—15 two-year olds, 6 cured, 9 dead; 6 one- year olds, 3 cured, 3 dead; 3 bulls, 3 cured ; 12 cows, 11 cured, 1 dead. At the same period, Mr. Rolland and Mr. Walker, two neighbours of Mr. B.’s friend, cured, the former 2 out of 3, and the latter 4 out of 5. 9. A neighbour of Dr. Moore’s lost one of his two-year olds. Three steers became affected. One wras moribund, and died in a few hours. The other two were in an earlier stage, and got bell. In one case, diarrhoea set in on the second day, and was checked by a few doses of mere, cor. It recovered. The other case died from exhaustion.
