All of this is accomp nied by sympathetic fever (typhus so called), gradual and progressive in its character, till the blood and tissue of the body are no longer fit for the purposes of life, and the animal dies an exhausted and miserable object, in from a few days to one, two, and three weeks from the time of attack. Causes. Certain conditions of the air and earth, as heat and mois- ture, cold and dryness; contagion. These may be called the exciting causes; something still being wanted in the system of the animal to form the predisposing cause—as debility, and a low standard of general health. Indeed, the conditions which sometimes exist in, and form pleuro- pneumonia, are capable of producing contagious typhus. I am borne out in this opinion by Jessen, who among the discordant opinions and theories of Europe, has declared the disease to be associated with pleuro-pneumonia. Dr. Greenhow also says that contagious typhus ex- isted side by side with pulmonary disease in England, in the middle of the last century. Why theorize then any further, for it is so plain that those who run can read, that veterinary surgeons, politicians and notoriety hunters have, at the expense of the suffering farmers of Europe, continued to perplex and puzzle too long ? The same has been at- tempted in Pennsylvania, and other States of the Union, even in cases of simple sporadic pleuro-pneumonia in milch cows, whereby,
