Milk sickkess. 313 Ceesarian Section in North Carolina.�The only caesarian section reported by Dr. Harris in his article on Gastro-Hysterotomy in the Aineric((n Journal of Medical Sciences for April, was one by Drs. Mallett and ilcSwain, of Fayetteville, in 1863, (mother lived and child died) and another by Drs. .T. R. Hicks and Wm. F. Henderson, (mother lived aud child died). alone proves the great ditfasibility of the poison, finding its way even to the skin and cellnlar substance. It is known by all the old settlers iu the neighborhood of Harts-ville tluit if a cow should die of this poison, and a hog should eat of the cow, the bog will die ; and if a dog should eat of the hog, tlie dog will die; and if a buzzard should eat of the dog, the buzzard will die. A gentleman on Goose Creek, near this knob, put up his hogs to fatten: he had a cow that was complaining; he turned her in with the fattening bogs; she died in a short time; the dogs ate part of her flesh, which killed every one, some thirty in number. A Mr. Hall and his wife were poisoned and died by eating a chicken that had been poisoned by picking some of the flesh from a cow that had died with the milk poison." The above cases goes to show, as Dr. Woodfin says, that the poison of milk sickness is entirely sui generis, not like any poison known in medicalbooks. It will be seen that there is a difference in the opinion of Dr. Woodfin and Dr. Mentlow in regard to the effect of this poison on hogs ; and also in regard to cattle dying which do not eat of this poison except while the dew is on the vegetation. I must incline to the opinion of Dr. Mentlow, as the experiments were continued until they found by putting dry hay on this knob of a night and feeding it to a cow in the morning while it was wet with dew, that the cow died ; but if they let the hay dry before it was fed it had no bad effect on the cow to which it was fed. As to the symptoms there is but little difference between the two. I will not give Dr. Mentlow's treatment until I see Dr. Woodfin's, and if there is any material difference in their treatment I will give the profession that difference, as we desire to have the subject thoroughly ventilated.
