            the outside. The fever rapidly becomes intense, — 40° to
            42º C. or 104º to 107º F. There are sometimes observed
            symptoms of cerebral hyperæmia, inquietude, excitation,
            rabiform phenomena, weakness, tottering gait, and
            lastly death from apoplexy. Sometimes the symptoms
            of pulmonary congestion predominate; also we may
            observe sanguinolent discharges from the normal orifices,
            hæmaturia, petechiæ of the conjunctivæ, convulsions, and
            in some cases death from asphyxia.

      (3) The sub-acute form.—The clinical characters resemble
            those of the acute form are, however, clearer, and run a
            much slower course—24 hours to 5 or 7 days maximum.
            There are symptoms due to pulmonary and cerebral
            congestion. To these manifestations grave intestinal
            symptoms are often added.

      B. Charbon with visible localization.—This form is that in
            which tumors and cutaneous charbonous oedemata are pre-
            sent, and has been called carbuncular fever. It occurs
            more particularly in the horse and the ox, but is also
            seen in the dog. Tumefactions appear on various parts
            of the body, at first hot and painful; charbonous
            œdemata are diffuse, doughy, fluctuating, indolent tumefac-
            tions. The duration of this form is from 3 to 7 days.
            Cases in which recovery occurs are more numerous.
            The fever may occur either before or after the tumefac-
            tions. The throat is often affected in this form.

Symptoms of Anthrax in Cattle.—Apoplectic Anthrax Charbonous
fever.—Charbonus fever may sometimes occur in the large ruminants,
and is probably more common in them than it is in the horse. When it
does occur, it is, as has been before stated, generally met with at the
very commencement of an outbreak of the disease; the first cases seen
being those of apoplectic Anthrax, and it is most probably due to the in-
fection having been from the spores, as stated by Friedberger and Frohner.
This form appears suddenly without any previous symptom having been
manifested, the animals attacked suddenly staggering and falling, bleed-
ing from the nose and mouth, and becoming attacked with convulsions,
in the midst of which they die in a very short time. It is not by any
means uncommon to find a number of the best animals dead in the yard
in the morning, although they were left the previous evening in perfect
health apparently. It often, however, announces itself by dullness, loss
of appetite, grinding of the teeth, cessation of rumination, weakness, pros-
tration, etc., these being accompanied in some cases by stupor and at others
