14 milk sickness. speculiitions as to tlie nature and Eliologij of the disease, in the material facts and general pathological indications, they clearly concur. These are� 1st. That the poison, whatever it be, is contracted by cattle grazing in certain localities, usually well defined, and communicated to persons who use the milk, butter or fresh beef of such animals. 3d. That dogs, buzzards, etc., eating the fiesh of cattle <lying of the disease contract it, and with similar manifestations sutfer, and perhaps die. 3d. That while the cows tluit ind:)ibe tlie poison remain healthy, if regularly milked, their calves, as well as persons wlio use the milk, become sick and frerpiently die. 4th. That many animals may feed on the same lands and evidently partake about equally of the poison, and some of them suffer violently and die ; others suffer lightly and recover, and otliers still, perhaps the larger number, remain quite healthy ; and that the same is true of families containing several persons, all using the same diet, some are affected with the disease in different degrees of severity, while others remain liealtliy ; and that this difference is usually, but not invariably, owing to the rest or exercise�violent exercise being the ordinary test of its existence in animals, and to a similar excitement may be frequently traced its development in persons. Beeves that have fattened in these infected localities, started to be driven to market, take the trembles and fail the first or second day, while other cattle feeding ou tlie same grovmds, left at home, remain healthy ; and dogs eating the flesh of milk-sick cattle, by lying quietly during digestion, remain healthy, while others, put on the chase, or otherwise over-heated, soon sicken and die. 5th. That cattle are more subject to the disease than other animals, although horses, mules, sheep, and perhaps others, are liable to take it. My own opinion, hoAvever, is that cattle are only more liable to take it because they are more inclined to select for grazing these rich cove lands, Avliere it is supposed usually to be obtained. That hogs take the disease I think improbable, from the fact that they are seldom, if ever, restrained from feeding on the lands Avhere it is supposed to be, or from eating the carcasses knoAvn to have
