Nobody has discovered anything further about the cattle dis- ease.
Nobody has succeeded in curing it to any considerable extent, and the favourite remedy appears to be to " stamp it out," L e., kill all ailing animals, bury the carcases in the skins five feet deep, and also destroy all " dung, fodder, or anything that has been in contact with the animal "—the doctor and butcher alone excepted, we presume. This is in fact admitting that healing is impossible, and should not even be attempted. Various reme- dies have been recommended. Yeast, known to be a remedy of great occasional power in human typhus, was tried by Miss Burdett Coutts's veterinary surgeon with the brilliant success of rendering the interiors of the poor creatures which died after it much more healthy in appearance than those of the others which died without it. Indeed the attendants thought these cows might have recovered if they had not been too violently physicked for their remaining strength. On the whole, however, nothing seems to have answered much better in the remedial way than the omission of all remedies.
