we find inflammation of the circulation or the arterial and venous circulation, also in- flammation of the parotid and sublingual and submaxillary glands, causing congestion of the brain, and death ensues. In this case we have a pulse ranging from 70 to 100 beats per minute. The present disease which is now spread- ing rapidly over this country is an influenza, with a high fever from the start, the pulse ranging from 70 to 100. Under this high pulse or fever, no horse can live but a very short length of time. The last referred to disease is just the reverse of Farcy. We find in dissection, where the animal only lived 60 hours after taken sick, that the right lobe of the lungs was entirely destroyed by inflammation; that the right lobe of the liver was also entirely destroyed, also the right kid- ney by congestion ; in the arteries and veins we found large clots of coagulated serum, enough to cause obstruction in the arterial and venous circulation, which causes the swelling. The fever comes on very rapidly, lasting from 3 to 4 days, when it either ends in death, or changes for the better.
