B, showing in- subserous and submucous hemorrhages, congestion and hemorrhages of the lymph nodes, and the discoloration of the bone marrow. In the diagnosis, the history of the outbreak, and particularly the distance from known cases of cholera and whether or not anj^ swine have recently been introduced, must always be taken into considera- tion. Finally, it must be understood that the only absolute method for the diagnosis of cholera at this time is the inoculation of a known, healthy, susceptible pig with from one to five cubic centimeters of filtered blood from the suspected animal. Prognosis.—Cholera is a very fatal disease.
