DISEASES OF This part of our work is devoted to the explanation and treatment of the various diseases affecting the ox, to- gether with an account of the diseases incident to milch cows and young calves. Cattle diseases are, in many particulars, similar to those of the horse. Thus inflam- mation, irritation and fever, are common to all animals. Still, however, there are many diseases affecting cattle, in which we fail to find a counter- part in any disease attacking horses.
