MILK SICKNESS. 1 4:> rect and certain in tlieir action, and the flesh of the animal so ])oisoned does not produce disease in others that eat the carcasses. 3. It has been observed that its effects closely resemble the phenomena ]n"oduced by ani/nal poistDt. And also that it mav be })ro-duced by organized diseased germs or microscopic fungi. There may be some plausibility in this hypothesis; but on the siiiipo-irion that the disease has an animalcular origin I should not know how to reconcile that with the well established fact of its confinement to certain localities, immediately outside of which tliere is no danger. That the microscope and chemical appliances may be brought to bear upon this investigation, and that by diligent search and close observation this mysterious substance that causes milk sickness in cai tie may be discovered, is not altogether imjiroljable and is certainly desirable. If the substance should be discovered, and in sufficient quantity to cause animals to take it, the test can easily be marie, without the aid of science or chemical analysis�two facts, however, must clearly concur. 1. It will t-icken and kill a })ortion of the animals, while others taking the same quantity remain healthy. 2. That the tle-li of those that die will kill the dogs that eat it. Or if it be given to milk cows and some of them remain unliurt while the calves and dogs using the milk sicken and die, the test would be conclusive. It is said that the milk as it is drawn from the cow does not foam �and I should have inquired further into the peculiarity, but the same was affirmed of the milk of cows that eat mushrooms, and hence it v>'a> not a peculiarity and would prove nothing. I should very mnch like to see the discovery made�and will cheerfully aid the younger members of the profession in their effort in that direction. The field is still open. The lands that contain it in any of these counties are not in cultivation, nor likely to be for generations to come, and although the number of cases occurring in the last seven years, as compared with seven years, 30 or 40 years ago, is in a ratio not greater than one to five, they are sufficiently numerous for practical purposes. If any one is curious to know why, with my long and familiar acquaintance with this disease, as presented in the human subject.
