Inflammation of the Brain and its Membranes—Sturdy in Cattle—Shaking Palsy-—Hydrophobia. Inflammation of the Brain and its Membeanes. IT makes but little difference, so far as our method of treatment is concerned, whether the brain or its membranes be the seat of inflammation; for the treatment, in both cases, must be the same, and the difference, in a pathological point of view, can not be very great between a disease of the brain and its investing membranes, although each may have peculiarities of appearance. The affection is generally sudden in its attack, and it is often accompanied by symptoms of frenzy, and the animal sometimes becomes frantic, and decidedly mischievous. Soon, however, alterations in the structure of the parts take place, as softening, effusion, etc., and then the animal dies. In regard to the treatment, I must confess that it is much easier to write about it than accomplish it. In cases when de- lirious fits occur, accompanied by convulsions, which make it dan- gerous to approach the animal, I have no remedies to offer; the case is beyond the reach of art. I may, however, add that the terminations of this disease are different. They depend on the intensity of the malady and the structural susceptibility. The disease is generally treated on the antiphlogistic plan: cold water to the head, active cathartics, and counter-irritation on the region of the spine. Causes.—The causes of a disease of this character are often obscure, yet I have known it to occur as a symptomatic affection. I examined the carcass of an ox, a short time ago, that died of (600).
