is almost beyond » doubt that pleuro is in the provincial district. I certainly thought from the number of Australians that I know of, some of them would have suggested some practicable remedy to arrest its progress or stamp it out for any one who has had the experience must know that the process is so simple and so easily applied. Besides it is an im perative duty, I presume, on any one having a knowledge of the remedy to i, communicate the same to his neighbour. The virus should be obtained from the lungs of a heifer full grown, if possible knoivn to be diseased and slaughtered for the purpose. You only then require some woollen or worsted thread and a packing needle, not triangular on the point, but flat and sharp. Saturate the thread in the virus after putting it in the needle. You then insert the needle between the skin and flesh, on or about the third joint of the tail at the lower extremity, using the precaution to hare about half an inch of the thread on each side as a key to prevent it falling out. On or about the third day of the operatian, if affected, the tail will become hot and slightly swollen, in some cases the swelling on both sides the root will become very large, and if so, you should make an in cision of at least three inches, at the lower end, at the same time dressing the cut with venus turpentine, when you may rest satisfied the animal is safe from pleuro. Now to satisfy the most scepti cal or incredulous how we happen to have such knowledge of this terrible disease, I will briefly state : In the autumn of 1663, living near Wollongong, in N.S.W., in the same locality for over twenty years, for the first time during that period this distemper (pleuro) made its appearance. The consternation it caused may be imagined. It spread through the whole dTstrict. The popu lation consisted of dairy farmers; all sorts of quackery were resorted to, such, as burning brimstone, inserting a piece of garlic in the dew-lap, and even blistering under the shoulder, but to no purpose. However, the Government were quite equal to the emer gency.
