This Vork is intended as a güide fof veterinary stu-
dents and others proceeding to India. In the present
edition several sections have been re-written, and I have
added a new chapter each on Khujli, Kenchul, Pith-
kharish, Charak, Korhi, and Fungus-foot of India, which
I trust will be found useful.
The original plan was to embody in it a description of
all the diseases of the horse seen in India, hut this is
obviously a task which can only be acoomplished by
several larger treatises, and the present is only a manual
dealing with diseases in a greater or less measure pecu-
liar to India.
The many kind appreciative comments that have been
made on it by the professional press, coupled with the
suggestion of friends, have led me to bring out a second
edition of my work in less than eighteen months after
publication of the first, as the latter is now exhausted,
with the exception of a few copies.
It has been my endeavour to give a clear and concise
sketch of the leading facts relating to tropical diseases,
without embarrassing the reader with minute details or
minor points, and without entering into prolonged dis-
cussion or any other species of controversy. I am assured

that such a book, if properly executed, is much wanted,
not only by the students at the several Colleges at home,
and by young offlcers of the "Veterinary Department
serving in India, but also by the general reader, who
may not find time for the perusal of larger treatises on
General Surgery and Medicine.
In order that the volume might be compact, and fit
for the pocket of the student, or the portmanteau of the
young Indian oflicer f who always finds it difficult to
carry large books about 'wifch hfan), I have tried to avoid
the use of a single superfluous word. It is for others to
decide whether I have succeeded in this endeavour.
Those who wish to peruse the subject, or any part of
it, into more detail, will find an index to the best works
in my footnotes, and in the notes at the end of each
chapter.
I believe that I have simplified mattere very materially
in regard to the varieties and nomenclature of tropical
diseases in our equine patients.
India still offers the best, the widest, the most fruitful
field for pathological investigation; and in no other
service than in that of the Veterinary Department has a
young officer so fair a chance of advancing our know-
ledge of disease. As a necessary part of his education,
and as one of the means of making himself competent to
this full discharge of his duties, every young practitioner
or army veterinarian, before going to the East, ought
to make himself thoroughly acquainted with at least the
main facts of tropical diseases.
If this little book prove of any benefit, if it enoourage
young men to go and follow the example of those before
their time, its chief purpose will have been fulfilled.
I wisli to take this opportunity of expressing my gra-

titude to all those members of the profession wfeo have
given their generous help and advice on every occasion
of my attending and making inquiries into the pathology
of disease among horses in India.
My temporary visits to Allahabad, Dinapore, Lucknow,
and Meerut, have been of much advantage, more parti-
cularly in connection with the section dealing with the
different forms of Anthrax in this boofc.
Referring to my report on the Meerut outbreak of
1886-7, and the subject of so-called "Influenza" in the
horse being probably, tdivisible into Intermittent and
Remittent, as well as other forms of fever, we are much
pleased to seê a discussion quite recently carried on,
on this subject, in England, by Mr. Briggs, whose
account may be read in the June number of the
Veterinarian. Also an article by Martin in the last
number of the Deutsche Zeitsehrift für Thierinedicin
utid verglechende Pctthology.
Important and interest-
ing results have also been made more especially as
regards the essential nature of 'malaria' and the classi-
fication of organisms devloped in connection with
malarial diseases. More recently Dr. Vandyke Carter,
of Bonibay, asserts that he has ascertained that in remit-
tent fever of man the blood contains parasites, which
in their morphologyand general features are indentical
with the parasites of Surra in the lower animals.
Sufficiënt attention has not hitherto been given to this
field of inquiry, which is capable of being greatly de-
veloped. The practical value of studying the several
varieties of Influenza so far as they help the classification
of fevers, has been to a great extent recognised, but no
systematic measures have been taken to separate a long
list of fevers which are described promiscuously along
-ocr page 7-
PREFACE.
with the ordinary "Influenza." Oonsiderïng the import-
ance of these fevers, e. g., Intermittent, Remittent, and
a host of others, the subject is worthy, I think, of being
specially investigated.
I am also greatly indebted to many contributors for
valuable information derived from their own experience
of outbreaks of disease in many stations in India they
have had opportunities of visiting. In this way some
very useful information has been oolleoted for comparison
and record.
From Messrs. Gresswell, of Louth, I have received
valuable assistance in explaining the pathology of Ma-
lignant CEdema; and as they have recorded their experi-
ence of this disease in England, corroborating my own as
it is witnessed in this country, these experienoes have
resulted to our mutual advantage.
We are proud to know that veterinary surgeons who
have served in India have lately made such rapid prö-
gress in the knowledge of Surra; but we must grate-
fully acknowledge the heroic self-sacrificing and success-
ful labours of Dr. Griffith Evans and Mr. Steel chiefly
and especially.
I wish also to acknowledge with many thanks the
kind assistance yendered by Mr. Stanley Ismay, Deputy
Commissioner, of Jubbulpore, in my inquiry into the
geological nature of the soil of these districts as influenc-
ing the spread or otherwise of Barsati. This inquiry,
together with a study of the clinical and pathological
characters, will, it is hoped, prove useful in facilitating
the indentification of one of our most prevalent diseases
in India.

T^UKEitot's articles have iately appeared on ani,hra.K
as it affects animals in India, but I do not think the
subject bas boen advanced auy farther than was
already known regarding it many years ago. Without
going into details, I may be permitted, in the short spaee
at my disposal, to record the salient features of the dis
oase, and the different clinical aspects it presents, from
mj own experience of it.
Although ahvays the same disease, dependent on a
common cause, its modes of manifestation vary consider-
ably in different outbreaks and in different cases in tho
same outbreak. My éxperienco leads me to recognise
the following divisions, which may bo made for conveni
ence of description, viz., the respiratory, gastro-intestin-
al, renal, hepatic, nervous, subcutaneous or carbuncu-
lar, cutaneous, and intermittent and remittent forms.

ANTHRAX.
In some works on veterinary pathology the above are
divided into internal and external forms of anthrax : this
division has many supporters, inasmuch as the fatality
varies so greatly in the internal and external forms of
the disease, requiring separate description. There is no
doubt, too, that frequently one type of the disease runs
into the other, and sometimes one or more types co-exist';
but according to my experience, the external form seklom
leads to the internal, and, when not a complication, is
generally less fatal than it.
The Respiratoky form of anthrax shows itself as a
specific pneumonia. This form of the disease has been
very elearly sketched by Toussaint, and need not call
for description here.
Gastko-intestinal form of anthrax presents all the
symptoms of acute gastro-enteritis and post-mortem ex-
amination shows the effusions peculiar to anthrax, which
do not appear in simple gastro-enteritis. Occasionally,
the lesions of anthrax located in the alimentary canal
are so marked, that symptoms of acute dysentery, with
tsdema, degeneration and sloughing of the mucous mem-
brane in small patches, and even prolapsus recti, result.
Death takes place usually in about seven hours, although
it may be earlier in some, and later in other cases.
The Renal form of antrhax is ushered in with symp-
toms of acute nephritis, and rapid death, owing to inac-
tion of the kidneys and uvcemia. Post-mortem examm-
ation shows changes peculiar to anthrax located princi-
pally about the kidneys and in the renal structure. The
presence of the haaillus anthracis may be dotected on ex-
amining sections of the lat ter organ under the micros-
cope, in the afferent and efferent vessels, in the glomer-

uli, and even in the parenehyma of the kidnéy outsidé
the vessel walls, and in the uriniferous tubules. Conse-
quently, the urine is a source of danger in outbreaks of
anthrax, and the bedding of affected animals should be
always burnt.
The Hepatic form, where, according to my experience,
the symptoms of hepatitis follow in the oourse of the
general symptoms peculiar to anthrax. It seldom ap-
pears as a primary symptom. Consequently I look on
i't as more a result, than a distinet variety of anthrax.
Some observers, however, maintain that the symptoms
of hepatitis are prominent from the first, and, therefore,
believe the hepatic disease to be a distinet form of an-
thrax.
The Neevous, or Netjeotic forms.—I have met with
three distinet varieties of this form of anthrax in India,
vhich I may divide into the apoplectic, the furious, and
the paralytic. An animal, without having shown any
signs of illness, will suddenly fall to the ground, as if
struck by lightening. In other cases the animal trem-
bles, showing laboured breathing, a weak, small character
of the pulse, and marked palpitation; is stupified, stum-
bles about and becomes very excitable and unmanage-
abl-3 towarcls the close, often tearing his own flesh with
his t?,eth ( furious anthrax. ) Convulsions usually pre-
cede death. Sometimes paralysis sets in early in this
disease, death takin^ place usually a few minutes af ter
the animal has fallen to the ground.
The Apoplectic form is the most commou variety of
anthrax met with among camels in India, while it is oo-
easionally seen also in horses and in oxen. The furious
and paralytic forms ave chiefly seeu in the horse. It is

well kuown to the Germans ; for, I find Röll in hia
Lehrbuch der Pathologie und Therajrie der Thierarzte,
1885,
says, "that the common people in some parts of
Germany speak of it as the Devil's shot, blood-plague,"
etc, and he regards it as a very frequent variety of
anthrax in Germany. Horses usually drop to the ground
suddenly, and expire without a struggle. Camels, in -
most cases, ' run wild' for about fifty paces or so, and
.suddenly drop to the ground as if shot, and usually die-
without a struggle. Dr. Röll believes death follov/3
through paralysis of the lungs and heart's action. My
observations of a great many cases lead me to confirm
this view, while in other case3 in which death was more
rapid, or I may say instantaneous, it was caused by
shock. Post-mortem examination shows no congestion
of the brain, and hence some object to the use of th<5
term 'apoplectic.' If so, wc may speak of it as that form
of anthrax in which death usually takes place by ner-
voxts shock, to avoid misapprehension.
Diagnosis: The furious and paralytic forms of an-
thrax are liable to be mistaken chiefiy for rabies. When
paralysis is the main symptom, the diseases with which
it may be mistaken are rabies, kamri, beri-beri,
remittent fever and other diseases of the blood attendcd
with effusion on, or changes in the spine. Diagnosis will
be rendered easy by ( a ) a microscopic examination of
the blood and other tissues showing presence of the ba-
cillus anthracis
peculiar to anthrax ; by ( b ) the history
of the case, and the appearance of the disease in other
forms in other animals ; and ( c ) the course and symp-
toms of the disease.

cabbüNcle.—Ia the Ludhiana* form o£ anthrax, and
occurs as a subcufcaneous infiltratie» and enlargement
which, in the horse itt India, is seen chiefly under the
jaws and regiem ai the throat. Dieckerhoff, of Berlin,
agrees with us in this opinion. ( Lehrbuch der Speaiellen
Pathologie und Therapie der Thierarzte, 1885.)
It leads
to death usually from sufibcation, owing to the mechani-
cal obstruetion that results from cedema of the larynx.
The swellings are diffuse or circumscribed, sometimes
fluctuating, but usually tense, and there is no craekling
sound communicated to the fingers on percussion.
Bolliuger and Feser in Bavaria, and Arloing, Thomas
and Cornevin in France have noted the presenee of the
bacillus anthracis in the blood and other tissues of ani-
raals affècted with emphysema iufectuosum and have
concluded that the presenee of the organism confirmed
the identity of emphysema infeciuoswm and anthrax b&-
yond doubt. Bitt it is also known that " anthrax very
frequently makes its appearance at the same tune as
emphysema infeetuoswm " ( Röll ) ; and we have no evi-
dence to show that the two diseases have not often co-
existed in the same animal.
* We have sometimes wondered why, in these days of reformed
spelling, grammarians, translatere, and lexieographers as they are,
cling to Lodiana as the proper spelling of this well known station.
We have even suspected that their way must be right and the offi-
cial " Ludhiana " wrong. But we learn from several recent refer-
enees, that Ludhiana, pronounced Loodhiana, gives the sound aa
nearly as possible in English letters. When the British veterinari-
ans went there in 1811 to investigate the disease which is named
after the station, they found that some Givilians had invented an
*tymology for the name, as the abode of the Lodi, and were calling
it Lodiana, so they did the same. And it has become more diffi-
cult each outbreak since, to change the widely known name of the
" Lodiana Disease."

ANTHRAX.
Hess * has now shown that milzbrand and ' rau3ch'
brand' ( emphysema infectuosum ) are not the same dis-
ease. The fungus causing the Iatter has been carefully
studied by several authors, but it is difficult to say
whether the descriptions of Arloing, Feser, Ehler, or
William Koch are the most correct rogarding its chief
cliaracteristics. Feser and Arloing's observations show
that the bacillus is constantly found in the body of ani-
mals affected with rauschbrand, and that the disease is
inoculable. The fungus remains in a spore form in the
body, and all the disease changes are dependent on this,
which is, at present, a large fact in itself, although not
a complete enough one.
Although this malady ( charbon sympiomatique of the
French, rauschbrand of the Germans, and quarter-ill,
black-leg, etc. of the English ) has great resemblance to
anthrax proper, it is clearly a disease of its own, having
nothing in common with anthrax, for the following
reasons :
(a ) The fungus of emphysema infectuosum is, ae-
cording to Arloing, quite distinct, both in its morpho-
logical characters and mode of growth, from the bacillus
anthracis ; ( b ) Emphysema infectuosum cannot be com-
municated to rabbits and youug calves, and only in a
mild form to horses, donkeys, and white rats, which take
anthrax readily by inoculation ; ( c ) A large quantity
of fluid is requisite in order to transmit emphysema in-
fectuosum
from one animal to another, whereas a very

small quantity suffices in the case of anthrax ; ( d ) ïn-
jection of a small quantity of virus protects against fu-
ture attacks of emphysema infectuosum, but gives no
immunity against anthrax ; ( e ) In anthrax the blood
and the spleen generally show marked changes, but in
this disease they rernain unaltered; (ƒ) This disease
is caused by bacilli, but is not set up if the bacilli are
introduced into the circulating blood : in order to pro-
duce it the bacilli must act in the cellular tissue.
I have to mention in this connection a form of
malignant sore-throat in cattle which I was deput-
ed to investigate* some time since at Allahabad. I was
ordered there to inquire into an outbreak of disease
reported as anthrax. My investigations led me to these
conclusions, briefly : (a) Malignant sore-throat in
cattle is caused by the bacillus asdematis, which is trans-
missible from oxen to oxen by inoculation ; ( b ) The
fatality is low in cases in which early fomentation and
blisters to the throat have been resorted to ; ( c ) The
cause of death is purely accidental, and due to mechani-
ca! obstruction of the throat, and suffocation ( Veterinary
Journal,
April, 1886.) It should be stated that, Messrs.
Gresswell (Ibid, Nov., 1886 ) who have recently in-
vestigated this disease, have confirmed my observations
relative to the nature of the germ which causes it, and
have shown that it is a specific disease distinct from
anthrax. It gives us great pleasure to find our observa-
tions corroboratcd by such able veterinarians. I trust
that the cases I have reported may suifice to show that
by early treatnient of throat lesions, a class of cases

hitherto found most intraotable, and extreniely fatal
when left alone to ehance, is capable of being very satis-
factorily dealt with.
I have seen the saaie disease, lately, in the dog, in
which it was charaeterised by the appearance of a large
swelling of the throat and neck, the swelling boing at
first painful and tense, but rapidly becoming painless
and crepitating, It was foliowed by sloughing of tho
throat, and was fatal. The same bacilli were found in
the fluid punctured from the swelling, as I showed in
the malignant eedema of cattle.
Kitt f shows the reseinblanco which exists between
the bacillus of charbon symptomatique and that of malig-
nant cedema, which is so frequently seen in the lower
animals. In their clinical and pathological features the
" two " diseases are identieal. Kitt shows that the ba-
cillus of malignant cedema is transformed into that of
charbon symptomatique, which must be considered a
common variety, presenting similar biological eharacters.
the CUTAKEOUS form of anthrax, in which the struc-
tures of the skin are primarily invaded, leading te erup-
tions, boils and abscesses. This is the least dangerous
form of anthrax, because results due to changes in the skin
are not at all comparable with those following changes
in more important organs of the body, as the lungs,
intestines, kidneys, etc. The functions of the skin can
be taken up more easily by the lungs and kidneys, than
those of the latter can by the skin, when labouring
under disease or derangement. And this fact has often
)>een overlooked, it has seemed to me, in considering the
relation of external to internal anthrax.

intermittent anthrax is that foi-m of the disease
where the aninïal revives after an attack, and some days
after a relapse occurs, and the case is often entered aa a
fresh one. This form of the disease was flrst noticed, in
cattle, by Bollinger ; and in the last outbreak of anthrax
in Government camels at Cawnpore, I recorded several
such cases. {Report on Anthrax in Camels, dated
Cawnpore, 1885-86.)
I have seen a few instances in which relapse was
notod during the eourse of anthrax fever in horses, the
term not being made use of unless there had been decided
return of the symptoms of anthrax and of bacilli in the
blood, accompanied by a temperature above the normal,
the condition being remarked usually every fourth day,
and in many cases lasting longer than 24 hours. Veteri-
nary surgeon Hazclton (Quarterly Journal of Veterinary
Science in India,
April, 1888 ) who bas lately investi-
gated an outbreak of anthrax at St. Thomas' Mount,
practically confirnis these observations relative to the
temperature variations seen in anthrax which I had
shown in my Report dated Meerut, 1886-87.
Simple remittent fever in animals terminates not un-
frequently in anthrax, the same as in typhoid fever seen
in man ; for remmittent fever is no bar to other specifio
diseases, especially anthrax in animals, and óften co-
exists with the latter, as I have shown. The question
arises, Is there a form of remittent anthrax distincfc
from simple remittent fever, or is the one a precursor
of the other ? I think we must acknowledge both views
to be correct, for, judging from recent experience, we
know that, whilst anthrax fever of a remittent type was
prevalent in one part of the station, carrying off several
-ocr page 17-

animals, in another part of the same station there wore
cases of siraple intermittent and remittent fever without,
in this instance, oausing a single death. This 1 noted
in an outbreak of disease in " waler " remounts arrived
from Calcutta during January 1887, when anthrax
among the horses of the 8th Hussars had all but eeased,
in Meerut.
Besides the above named varieties of anthrax, many
cases are complicated with baemorrhage from natural
openings, as the nostrils, urethra, anus, etc. Deatlif
frequently results from hsemorrhage into the abdomen
and thorax, due to rapid multiplication of the bacillus
anthracis and plugging of the capillaries, producing
rupture.
If I needed anything to confirni my faith in the
different forms of anthrax I have described and seen in
India, enough could be found in the literature of the
subject, which has beeu lately described by French,
German, and Swiss veterinarians. If it be asked to
whom these observations are due, it becomes difficulfc
to do justice to British veterinarians and to others at
the same time. With regard to the features of anthrax
mentioned, I can honestly say that most of the forms
I have described I have met with myself; but I
must add (1) that they are the same, or nearly the sam?
as those described by a Committee of veterinary sur-
geons appointed by the Government of India to report
on the disease many years ago ; and (2) that they are
the same, or nearly the same as those described by Con-
tinental veterinarians. We, I believe, had long been
anticipated by the lattcr, who got the start of English
veterinarians in these matters, and who are, moreover,

CONTAGION OF ANTHEAX.
Tlie modes of eonveyance of the germs have no special
relation to the question of anthrax only : it is not
settled by what channels, in eaclvinstance, the germs of
specific diseases in general travel. Thxis, cholera, typhoid
f e ver, etc, have each its suspocted sources, but no one
source can be made to apply in each particular outbreak.
It is possible the germs travel through various channels,
some known and others unknown. Among some of the
knowa channels may be mentioned the air ( Tyndall );
water ; grass-roots obtained from burial grounds
of anthrax anected animals, where earthwornis
( Darwin ) act as the intermediate bearers ; and direct
contagion from animal to animal. From what I latei y
saw of an outbreak of anthrax in horses of the I7th
Lancers and Native Cavalry Regiment at L'jcknow,
1 have littlö faith in air as a medium of contagion
iö this disease, as the two batteries of Artillery
close to the Native Cavalry Regiment escaped con-
tagion, although not many yards' distant from the
C.ivalry lines. However, a volatile form of contagion
in anthrax is recognisod by many observers. Zundel
( rZeeueil de Med. Veterinaire, May and June, 1871 )
recognises a ftxed and a volatile contagion in
a:ithrax ; and Fleming also mentions it. Many so-called
spontaneous outbreaks of the discase may be explained
-ocr page 19-
n
[cHAP.
AKTHR.VX.
on the possibility of air being a medium of contagion,
the germs floating in the air, more during certain condi-
tions than during others, alight on susceptible animals.
Though anthrax is almost always confined to horses
without necessarily affecting the ponies that have to
bring the grass, it is not always easy to tracé a di-
rect source of infection to the latter. The disease may
be carried by flies, or by other agencies abovementione'd,
in different outbreaks ; but often I have had reason to
believe it was eaused by the germs existing on the her-
bage. It has been too generally concluded that the
bacillus anthracis is a parasite whose natural habitat is
the animal tissues, and is only accidentally present on
vegetation, instead of, as I believe, the exact reverse—
that it is naturally present on the vegetation and only
accidentally present in the animal body, which is
probably also the case with other diseases eaused by
bacteria. Nowhere is anthrax so prevalent or so fatal,
we have seen, as in grass-lands in India where cattle
have not grazed before—a fact which many native
breeders of horses, as well as cattle and sheep owners
and others in India have learned to their cost. By
successive or continuous occupation, and by drainage,
such pasturage becomes healthy. These resufts speak
for themselves, and I do not think there is any other
method of treatinent which will suppress such outbreaks,
though there are many therapeutic agents which act
beneficially in individual cases, but in an inferior
degree.
Instances of anthrax communication by affected ani-
mals, I have reported in the case of this disease intro-
duced amoug camels belonging to the Army Transport
-ocr page 20-
i.j                                    ASttibAï.                                 13
at Cawnpöre, on the arrival of affected animals from
Allahabad ; ahd also in tlie case of slaughter cattle at
Allahabad sonie yéars ago, through inter-coinmunication
of suspected cattle eniployed in carrying fodder for
healthy ones. Such instances coüld be multiplied ad
infinitum.
Aruong indirect means of contagion may be metitioried
the excreta of animals affected with this disease, and*
bedding, clothing, utensils, etc, used by them. Also
nies, vultures, jackals, &c, all of which may be active
agents in promoting the spread of anthrax. And, lastly,
the bodies of affected animals in particülar, which should
be always cremated. If this were done in the case of
village cattle also, and burial prohibited, we should hear
less about grass-cutters' ponies introducing anthrax into
eantonments than we now do.
The bacillus anthracis, by its excessive multiplicatiortj
has a mechanical effect, apart from all other considera-
tions, in impeding the action of the heart, in blocking
tip the minute capillaries of important glaiids and pre»
Venting secretion and excretion, etc, as evidenced by the
symptoms of this disease. In the heart the bacilli of
anthrax abound within and around the vessels, and iu
the interspaces of the muscular fibres. In the liver they
occur in the intralobular venule and its adjacent capil-
laries. In the kidneys they are found especially in the
glömeruli near the surface of the organ, in the afferent
and efferent small vessels, and in the uriniferous
tabules and in the Urine. They exist also in the
milk» In the liings they are found in great num-
bers around the alveoli, completely choking the minute
capillaries, and leading, in other situation3, to rupture,

it is sometimes the immediate cause of death. It inter-
feres with, or entirely suspends the funetion of impor-
tant organs by its pressm-e. When the efi'usion occurs
under the skin, it frequently constitutes well detmed
tumours.
The blood in anthrax shows an excess of white cells,
with the presence of baoilli anthracis, is unusually dark,
and does not readily eoagulate.
The micro-organism of anthrax has certain distinctive
characters, which will enable one to distinguish it in
good specimens with a reasonable degree of certainty ;
but in many cases a doubt is left in our mind which can
only be removed by the test of inoculation. The an-
thrax bacilli usually appear under the microscope as short,
stiff, non-motile rods, and have their ends cut off sorae-
what abruptly, as it were ; although this varies in somo
cases. They vary a-lso in size in diöcrent animals (Deutsche
med. Wochens.,
1881,) and sometimes in the same animal.
(Report on Anthrax in Meerut, 1886-7. ) The form
and external appearance of a microscopical organism, is
not sufficiënt to charactorise it, and I repeat that the
expert has no right to assert the existence of anthrax
unless inoculation with the suspocted liquid has given
anthrax to animals used for experiment»—guinea pigs or
rabbits.
The bacillus antlvracis was among the iirst organisms
noted as being causative of diseaso, and the merit of its
discovery rests with Délafond.* To determine its pre-

sence the fluid and solid tissues should be simultaneous-

disease than during others, and hence hurried eonclu-

Eegarding the course of the disease, a very important
research, bearing on the conditions of infection of speci-
fic diseases, lias been recently made in England. In
this research it lias been pointed out that the initial dose
of virus is of great importance, and in many instances
exercises a marked influence on the course and virulence
of the disease. "Various laws havo now been made out—
for example, the pathogenio dose of a virus varies inverse-
ly with the predisposition of the animals to the disease
in question ; in animals not very susceptible to a disease,
the severity of the affection varies directly within certain
limits with the aniount of the virus introduced, etc. It
is found that in some cases a small dose of a virus pro-
duces only a local effect, while a larger dose kills the
anima], aud the small dose often protects the animal
from the fatal effect of a subsequent large dose. Al-
though it is as yet impossible to measure predisposition,
and thus to decide the dose for any animal, still the
knowledge of the relation bet-ween these two factors i s
of great importance in throwing light on its spread in
many outbreaks ; while the fact that a considerable
quantity of the virus is in many cases necessary for th e
production of a diseaso, explains many anomalies, and
aiiords indications for preventive measures.

There are some animals which will take the disease irt
a very virulent type, and die rapidly, whilst in othef
animals the same micro-ofganisms Will prove relatively
inocuous, or produce only a very mild attack, charac-
terised by a prolonged course. It is the same with otheL'
diseases : each animal has its own idiosyncracies for nour-
ishing and for starving micro-organisms, since every
nutriënt soil is not equally adapted to the same micro-
foon. But not only is the difference of the same tissue
in different animals the reason of a different behaviour
of the same microzoon, the tissue itself, in one and the'
same animal, may change ünder different conditions. It
is possible that changes may take place in the system of
the animal, unknown perhaps to ourselves, but very
important to the respective micro-organisms. I will
only allude to 'vaccination' as a preventive of disease,
■which evidently changes the nutriënt soil, so that the
mierozoa of that particular disease can no longer find
nourishment, and the vaCcinated animals remain unalter-
ed by an injoction which would have proved rapidly
fatal if non-vacciilated. It is furrlier ascertained, as a
matter of observation, that certain micro-organisms
cannot thrive well, or do so very imperfectly in one body
under certain conditions, whereas they may be perni-
cious when certain other conditions are present. It is
known that, not only in an animal's body, but cultivated
in artificial media, bacteria may retain their properties
unaltered, or they may undergo more or less modification,
If it is true that not every nutriënt soil is equally
well adapted to a certain microzoon, that microzoon
developing better in one constitution than in another,
it must consequently be true, that one microzoon may

be so changed that it may occasionally show some differ-
ence, according to its surrounding conditions, in its mode
of growth and other peculiarities, to such an extent that
its pathogenic activity night be lessened or strengthened
according to those conditions. This idea is in accordance
with what daily experience teaches with respect to plants
and animals. Plants put in a convenient soil may grow
extremely well, and may, to a certain extent, change
their colour, smell and other qualities, but put in a bad
soil, they will not thrive, or but imperfectly.
TltEATMEMT.
Carbolic acid was first recommended by Dr. Fleming,
and found very useful in many outbreaks, and in the
Vratch several leading articles have recently appeared,
lauding the therapeutic value of carbolic acid in the
treatment of anthrax in man. Mr. Meyrick suggests
that a convcnient method of admiuistering carbolic acid
is that of employing carbolate of soda. Many years ago,
Dr. Beale, in his work on Disease Germs, showed that
the carbolate of soda is decomposed in the system, set-
ting free the carbolic acid, and in this way a much larger
amount of the acid can be administered without poison-
ous effects, than when given in the crude form. As a
rule, cases do not oome under the veterinarian's care
till they are far advanced, or coming early under
treatment, run a rapid course, and then, though the best
remedies are administered, they have not the power left
to imbibe the good which follows in the early stages and
milder cases of this disease. Therefore conclusions that
are arrived at without due consideration of these facts,

sIiqw no graat exactnoss in stating the relation of -per-
centages. Among the other iigenta which have beea
found useful, may be mentioned iodine and iron, especial-
ly the psrchloride of iron recently mentioned by Steiger.
Although these remedies have their uses, it must not be
concluded that they are necessarily calculated to produce
a certain cure in every case of anthrax ; if sueh a success
could be achieved, antlirax would no longer be the dread
malady it has hitherto proved to be. Messrs. Gresswell,
of Louth, have found the perchloride of mercury and
sulphite of sodium of great efficacy in many out-
breaks of anthrax fever in England. There is one
thing which we are frequently cautioned against in
the treatment of local anthrax and authrax with
pulmonary lesions, and that is, the application of
warm poultices and hot water fomentations, as the use
of warm nutritive moisture promotes in a high de^rea
the growth of the bacillus anthracis ; and thé experienco
gained regarding the treatment of South Af rican horse-
pest, or "malarial" fever,* may not be without iuterest
here.
The remedy I have found most useful in the dysen-
terie form of anthrax which is so common in camels in
India, as well as in local anthrax in animals, is ipecacu-
anha given in large doses internally, and applicd exter-
nally mixed with water. This treatment has sometinles
been foliowed with the best results in cases that were
not of unusual severity or already far advanced before
the treatment was commenced.

AXTHEAX
PREVENTIÖN.
The three csseutial points in the treatment of this
disease are, it is obvious, change of air, change of water,
and change of loeality on the first appearanee of suspi-
eiuus cases. Such indications are not fulfilled by the
ordinary plan in vogue of drugging animals. When a
few cases of this disease occur in any regiment, the risks
of an enzootie attack are considerably increased by
keeping the animals in an anthrax contaminated loeality
week after week. Simple segregation of affected animals
does not suffice to keep the disease in abeyance. Tho
animals must leave, with the least possible delay ( in
order to avoid infection ) the tainted ground. Exten-
sion of the disease is kept up for months by persistent
occupation of tainted lines, until considerable loss lias
been experienced. In order to obtain a favourable
result of our endeavours at prevention, it is necessary
to undergo the cost of a new flooring, and have recourse
to prompt and effectual removal of tainted earth. We
must acknowledge that, whilst firmly convinced that
dozens,of animals may be easily saved by timely adop-
tion of the abovementioned precautions, there are great
difticulties and disappointments inseparable from the
carrying out of proper segregation, which I believe to be
the chief causes of these failures. One great cause of
failure, I believe, is inequality of the measures adopted
in different outbreaks, when the proper time for preven-
tion had been allowed to pass by. The probability of
an extension of this disease, depends less on the special
nature of preventive treatment recommended than on
inefficiency of such measures as are often employed.

The running at large of grasscutters' ponies during an
outbreak of this disease is a frequent cause of diminish-
ed usefvdness of preventive measures wbich are adopted.
It is often forgotten that the most critical time for secur-
ing the movement of suspected animals is when the
disease is absent in others. It is necessarily of greater
importan ce to avoid contraeting disease, thau. merely to
attempt to suppress it among an already infected lot of
animals. The extreme importance of preventing at
every poiut the chances of entrance of the contagion
into untainted lines cannot very well be exaggerated.
A knowledge regarding the period of convalescence is of
importance in preventing risk of infection by exposure
of healthy animals to one which may have just recover-
ed from an attack and be still convalescent. Anthrax
may be communicated by the sick animal when the
severity of the illness is past, and while recovery is be-
ing perfected, since every secretion and excretion of
the body, in tliis disease, is a carrier of infection. Too
great care cannot, therefore, be taken, so long as cases
of this disease appear, in preventing a return of appar-
ently recovered animals, which are at the time even
more dangerous than when suffering from an acute
attack and unable to move about. Undue alarm should
be avoided, but we must insist on the importance of
fresh air, fresh water, and change of locality above all,
in the treatment of suspected animals. Recent observa-
tions show that a certain local and seasonable condition
is essential to the spread of anthrax, these two factors
being found in a porous material, the soil, pcnetrable by
air and water, and soaked with organic substances
(local predisposition), and in variations in the mousture

and temperature ( seasonal predispositton. ) The first
essential condition of prophylaxis is immediate evacua-
tion of the tainted ground, the checking of contagion
by early isolation of the sick, and by observing the
necessary precautions which stave off an attack among
the healthy animals. Immunity ia also obtained by
guarding against exposure, want and debility in the
case of grasscutters' ponies, this precaution being found
necessary, since transmission of the disease, in these, is
often dependent upon constitutional weakness, or upon
degrees of predisposition and susceptibility. Acting
upon our experience of former outbreaks of anthrax, we
may formulate the following rules of prevention,
namely :—(a) Not to return any animals as "fever-free"
without having first ascertained, either by the use of the
thermometer or other means, that such is the case; (6)
To remove the conditions of soil favourable to the growth
jo the microbe, the infected standings must be renewed.
The prophylactic treatment of tainted localities by
enforcing rules of sanitation, and by avoiding the
pollution or infection of the earth with anthrax material
via. cadavers, the manu re or offal of diseased animals,
will always be the chief means of preventing an out-
brcak of the disease.
PKOTECTIVE 1NOCULATION.
It is a great satisfaction to learn that the Government
of India have under consideration the question of bac-
terioscopic laboratories being opened in many central
stations in India; because there can be no question that
such laboratories are necessary, where 'anthrax-vaccine'

ANTHRAX
can be prepared for distributïon to the different mount-
ed branches of the service, as well as in the agricultural
districts throughout the country. Looking not only to
the interests of the Army, but to the necessities of British
India, the death-rate from anthrax in all classes of
animals is a terrible calamity, and every Government
should do its utmost to avert it. The entire tendency
of modern inquiry is in favour of protective inoculation;
enormous saving to the country may be effected by organ-
ising central laboratories in India for the purpose of send-
ing 'vaccine' fluid into the agricultural districts, and it
is difficult to see how postponement of such an evident
means of saving to the country is possible. In some
parts of Russia where anthrax is very frequent, carring
off some thousands of animals of tliat country annually,
preventive 'vaccination' has reduced the mortality from
this disease to 2 per cent., as in every other country in
Europe. It may therefore be considered as the most
urgent necessity which the Government of India have
now under consideration.
protective inoculation has been practised by virus
enfeebled (a) by heat ( Taussaint, Pasteur, and Chau-
veau); (b)
by antiseptics (Chamberlain and Roux) ; and
(c) by cold (Gibier); also (d) by Kitt's practical method,
i. e., inoculation of guinea pigs with Pasteur's attenuated
virus; and (e) with the blood of rabbits which have suc-
cumbed to inoculation {Pasteur, Chauveau, Perroncito,
Eitt and others.
) Immunity from infection is also
obtained by injection of chemical bodies, as the per-
chloride of mercury, etc, in which it is seen that after
animals have taken a sufficiënt quantity of the drug,
they are no longer liable to anthrax.

CHAPTER II.
"SUEEA"; OR, PERNICIOUS ANjEMIA.
lx a description which I gave in my 'Equine Diseases
of India' in July 1887 on the subject of "surra", em-
bracing a sketch of the clinical characters, post mortem
lesions, rate of mortality, etc, I observed that it was
bocoming desirable to consider the question, "What is
surra f' Whon thore was one question chiefly occupying
the attention of veterinary surgeons in India, and that
with regard to the anatomical features of the parasite
found in surra, there was seldom much importance at-
tached to any other feature which may commend itself
to the judgment of practitioners, veterinary as well as
medical. I therefore suggested that we might still retain
interest in the parasite foliowed by our predecessors,
and endeavour to study the relations of surra with any
other disease well known to science, which we will now
consider.
It seems to me that some word is needed to def ine the
condition of the system which ensues upon the action of
the parasite found in the disease, so as to get a better
explanation of both cause and effect, and thus improve
its treatment. I venture to think that both the public
-ocr page 31-
[CHAP.

2i
and the profession will better value and better under-
stand our meaning if it be stated what the disease is, and
if its place can be specially defined.
There can, I think, be no doubt that a revised nomen-
clature will be of service in connection with the theory
of the subject of surra. This condition—which is
attended by ansemia, pernicious and progressive; by a
prolonged course, and more or less deflnite duration ; by
inordinate mortality; by paroxysms of increase of tem-
perature, or so-called "ansemic fever"; and by leucocy-
tosis, and other features essential to it—might, perhaps,
be represented by pernicious ansemia, which shows the
same features even in man.
If this need of adjustment of our nomenclature is ig-
nored because it is either not recognised or not under-
stood, it becomes an unrelieved want, which is apt to be
misinterpreted by the practitioner who fails to see the
true state of the case. "When once surra ceases to be a
"disease with which every one is familiar, but which
nobody understands," the treatment will become more
rational and more successful.
If the proper place of this disease were well under-
stood, it would have a stronger tendency than anything
else to the encourageinent of progress in its pathology
and treatment, especially upon points which have been
under discussion for many years.
The most important fact to determine appears to me
to be, not merely the presence of the parasites, and their
morphological characters, but to show their precise signi-
ficance and the part they play in the production
of the disease. The study of the anatomical peculiarities
of the parasite fonnd in this disease lias been elaborately
-ocr page 32-

gone into by specialists in England and America, and by
Dr. Crookshank(Jb«rn. Mier. Soc, Ser. 2, Vol. vi, 1886)
and Prof. Wm. Olser (Brit. Med. Journal, 12th March,
1887) in particular. I do not think I need dilate there-
fore on this subject any farther, than to show that we
have not yet considered the pathology of the disease
called "surra," apart from the presence of the parasites
described by Inspecting Veterinary Surgeon Dr. G. Evans
many years ago. This seems strange, seeing that
the disease has been known for many years on the con-
tinent of Europe, as the equine form of pernicious
anremia described by several authors.
Amoug continential veterinary surgeons there seems
to be unanimity as to the proper place for this disease of
the lower animals, the malady being recognised now to
be pernicious aneemia. This unanimity does not appear to
have made itself feit up to date in India. Many still
seem to think that surra must always remain an obscure
disease, known only by the presence or absence of the
parasites. The clinical characters of the disease, how-
ever, contain many features of diaguostic value, and
which afford correct classification. The disease has a
pathological equivalent in pernicious ansemia of man—-
has a similainty of history and results, as may be seen
by a comparison of these in the two classes of patients
mentioned.
We may summarise our reasons for considering this
disease to be pernicious anwmia, and not relapsing fever,
thus:—
Duration and Coukse.—That in relapsing fever there
is seldom more than two or more relapses noted, u&u&lly
only one; whereas is surra there are usually au unlimited
§
-ocr page 33-
u
[CHAP.
"sttrra"
number of " relapses, " the average duration of the
disease being probably not less than two months. The
malady is usually progressive, seldom acute in oharacter.
The course is sometimes prolonged to several, usually
six to eight weeks; the average duration of the human
disease (pernicious anaunia) being also estimated at "two
months." The average of twelve cases of surra noted
by Mr. Steel (Report on an Obscure and Fatal Disease
among Transport Mules in Brüish Burma,
1884) was
over sixty-six days; that of several cases observed by
Dr, Evans (Report on Surra Disease, 1880) was two
months. It is seen that weak animals succumb sooner,
and in some outbreaks the ordinary duration of the
disease does not exceed froin one week to a fortnight,
and, frequently, may be less in outbreaks in which
reckoning was made after the date of admission on the
sick report. A few cases have been seen to make slow
progress in the disease for over a year. The most im-
portant feature of thj disease is that tliere is no history
of a definite onset, and that the condition is progi'essive.
Fatality.—The fatality in relapsing f ever is compar-
atively slight; wliereas surra has been characterised as
an "invariably fatal" disease. There is probably no
disease in which the fatality is so> high as in pernicious
ausemia.
Temperaturb.—A great deal of importance appears
to have been attached to the temperature in surra. This
is all the more noteworthy, inasmuch as "periodicity,"
which is perhaps the most characteristic feature of this
disease, is, after all, but an uncertain guide, as all feb-
rile diseases and those due to micro-organisms in general,
have more or less definite or regular periods of diminution

or exacerbation. That the course of the disease shows
fluctuations throughout, the fever getting better for
some aud worse on other days, was conclusively shown
many years ago by Dr. Evans, and must be familiar
to every one acquainted with this disease; while the
most recent investigations upon this point do but confirm,
if they somewhat extend, the original experiences of
Dr. Evans. It is desirable to correct the prevalent opinion
that relapses are common to this disease only. Relapses
may occur commonly during the course of rheumatism,
as well as in other specific fevers, and constitute a very
minor feature in the diagnosis of surra. No other fea-
ture of importance peculiar to relapsing fever, is com-
mon in surra. As we have shown bef o re, the duration,
course, fatality and other features, all speak against tho
relapsing fever theory, and we cannot overlook this in
any consideration of surra which pretends to be a com-
plete one. As to the signiflcance of relapse in surra,
this is a condition quite unexplained as yet, for it is
no explanation to say that there is increased multiplica-
tion of the monads in the blood during the height of
the fever, as the same increase in the number of micro-
organisms is noticeable in other fevers.
There was a time whon tho statement that a fever
showed "relapses" was held to be a sufficiënt explana-
tion of its nature. It is not so now, but the word still
conceals a considerable amount of ignorance, or at least
an imperfection in our knowledge of the diseases that
are included under it. We must not restrict the term,
in practice, to relapsing or famine fever, for the etymol-
ogy of the word indicates such maladies as are charac-
terised by relapses, and is often applied to all affections
-ocr page 35-
[oiiap.
"sceua"
23
in whicli relapses in the fever are present. Thus, we
have two classes of disease commonly called relapsing—"
a definite disease which has been described by Dr. Carter
and is known as relapsing fever; and diseases in which
relapses commonly characterise the fever, as in some
forms of acute rheurnatism,* in 'Weil's disease', in essen-
tial ancemia, etc. I have, moreovsr, seen a few instances
in which relapse was noted during the course of anthrax
fever in horses, the term not boing made use of unless
there had been decided return of the symptoms of an-
thrax and of bacilli in the blood, accompained by a tem-
perature several degrees abave the normal, the condition
being reniarked usually every fourth day. Veterinary
surgeon Hazelton, who has lately investigated an out-
break of anthrax at St. Thomas' Mount, practically
confirms my observations i-elative to the temperature
variations peculiar to anthrax fever which I reported
more than two years ago.
Principal veterinary surgeon Oliphant observes,—"I
have always been anxious to discover from the charts,
whether there is a periodicity in the temperature of
anthrax fever. There is no doubt that the bacilli
appear in crops, appearing and disappearing at varying
intervals, and I believe they hold possession of the
system, probably in the shape of spore s, for very long
intervals." The experience of Indian medical and veteri-
nary offieers will confirm this, for periodicity compli-
cates nearly all disease in India.
* In 500 cases of acute rheurnatism treated at St. Bartholo-
mew's Hospital, 40 per cent. of these relapsed, the word not being
made use of unless there had been decided return of joint pain
aeeompanied by a temperature above the normal, the condition
lasting longer than 24 hours. (Lancet, April 14th, 1888.)

OS PERNICIOUS AN^MIA.
There is great difference betweon a well-markecl
tertain and remittent or continued fever, but the steps
by which the phenomena of one pass into those of the
other, render the temperature chart alone an uncertain
guide.
A point of interest we hare noted in the case of surra
in India, and other veterinary surgeons had done in that
of pernicious ansemia seen in Europe, is the well-worn,
but mysterious subject, the paroxysms of increase of
temperature, the so-called "ansemic fever" of writers on
pernicious ansemia in the human subject. Zschokke
also, it is well known, has assigned a prominent place to
this fever, which he found to be of an intermitteut type
in the horse (Schweizer-Archiv für Thierkeilkunde, Bel.
25, 1883), and Fröhner has likewise noted a niarked rise
in temperature on the 4th day, which, with slight remis-
sions, remained high till death. (Archiv för Wissens. u.
Praktische Thierkeilkunde,
Bd. 12, 5 u. 6 Heft, 1886.)
Clinical Histoby.—The clinical history of surra in
general is that of pernicious ansemia. The marked
ansemic conditions, observed both ante and post mortem,
the leucocytosis, fatty degeneration of the muscles, liver,
spleen and other organs, the general hsemorrhages, and
the chronic state of fever, which end in death in so
many cases, leave no doubt as to the nature of the disease.
Treatment.—I attached considerable importance to
arsenic in the treatment of cases of surra, with the view
of comparing or contrasting the results with those ob-
tained through the use of this agent in pernicious anse-
mia, and in a recent number of the Quarteyly Journal
of Veterinary Science in India,
Mr. Steel says that
veterinary surgeon Butler has reported most interesting
-ocr page 37-
[cHAP.
30
"surra''
results from treatment of cases of surra with "arsenic
pushed as far as possible." The cases are "doing well,
not losing coridition, and the temperature keeping down."
This observation is worth noting, when we remember
that arsenic is the only remedy of any value in cases of
pernicious anoemia in the human subject. In a recent
paper by Professor Osler, in the Therapeutic Gazette, ha
states that in all cases of pernicious or esseiitial amemia
there was no one case of recovery in which arsenic did
not form the basis of treatment.
Post-mortem Appearaxces.—Mr. Oliphant, principal
veterinary surgeon in India, writes,—"In one outbreak
of surra in the 18th Bengal Cavalry, in which 180 horses
died, I made dozens of post mortem examinations, and
the appearances in all were identical—extreme pallidity
of the tissues, with perhaps a trilling serous effusion iuto
the abdomen, etc. In fact, the animals looked as if they
had been starved to death;" and Zschokke also States
"that none of the principal organs show any, marked
structural cliange" in pernicious ansemia in the horse.
Referring to post mortem appearances in surra, Dr.
Evans, in his report dated December 1880, said—'%
examined the kidneys, liver, spleen, heart, lungs and the
mucous lining of the stomach and intestines throughout
with great care in every case that I had the opportunity,
and I am prepared to state positively that this disease
is not characterised by any structural organic change;
it is purely a disease of the blood. In some cases there
were petechise of the mucous lining of the intestines.
In one case the kidneys were pale and soddenlike, and in
another the margin of one lobe of the lung was hepatised;
but these cases being so exceptional can have had
-ocr page 38-
H,]                          OR PERNICIOUS ANJEMIA.                          31
iio characteristic relation to the disease."
Veterinary surgeon J. Cooper, a, v. d., who lias
recently investigated au outbreak of this disease among
ponies, says, in reference to the post mortem character-
istics, "that the most striking feature is the ansemic
condition of the tissues generally and the absence of
recognisable lesion." (Quarterly Journal of Veterinary
Science in India, April,
1888.)
Mr. Steel lays stress on the presence of gastric ulcers
as characteristic of surra; and the relation of gastric
ulceration to pernicious anasmia formed the subject of
discussion lately at the Roy. Ace. of Medicine of Ireland.
(See Lancet of March 10, 1888, page 474.)
Mr. Steel describes "mucous congestions continuous
throughout the anterior two-thirds of the bowel, with
the presence of several species of worms," although he
attaches no importance to these as a probable factor in
the etiology of surra. Dr. Evans had already alluded
to the presence of petechia and yellow staining of the
mucous iining of the small intestine, so that this fact is
significant in the history of surra—the exact relations
of mucous congestion to pernicious ansemia in man
having been already ascertained. It is impossible to
say whether this congestion of the intestinal mucous
membrane is esseatially connected with the presence
of the worms seen in surra. It is a phenomenon of
other specitic fevers, and is generally ascribed to blood-
vascular pluggings and minute extravasations of blood,
but it may be due to direct irritant action of the worms,
the same as in 'beri-beri,' or pernicious anasmia of human
beings. The early symptoms of hepatitis present in
surra, which is shown by jaundice of the visible mucous

membranes, may be due to congestion of the liver
caused by irritation of the worms in the biliary capil-
laries, leading to their rupture, and consequent deposits
in the gland-substance such as have been described by
Dr. Evans in these cases. There is every reason to
believe that when the liver has become so invaded, it is
incapable not only of duly performing its own function
of secreting bile which is essential to proper digestion
and health, but that it is an abiding pathological soui'ee
of general jaundice, which, if not removed, may result
in the gravest evils—blood disorganisation, generul
aiisemia, anasarca, etc. And in such cases the hepatic
complication appears so marked that it is sometimes
difficult to say what share in the disease should be
assigned to it, and what to the action of the parasites
on the blood.
In spite of a greedy appetite, debility appears pro-
gressive in character. It is scarcely necessary to remark
ón the importance of this symptom in diagnosis, as all
who have written on the disease Iay special stress on it.
Professor Fróhner has noticed it in the German type
of equine pernicious ansmia (Ueber perniciöse Anomie
beim Pferde, von
Prof. Dr. Eugen Fróhner, Berlin,
1886); and veterinary surgeon Cooper, who has only
lately reported an outbreak of surra among ponies, in
the Berars, says, that "the appetite is seldom quite lost,
and sometimes an animal continues to feed up to the
very last."
Influence of season.—It has been seen that surra
occurs most commonly after the rainy season in India.
There may be many local conditions—susceptibility of
sex to climate, season, etc.—that may affect the greater

prevalence of disease in males or in females, in different
outbreaks. Dr. Moore, at a recent meeting of the Royal
Ace. of Medicine, Ireland, pointed out that season
exereised a great influence on the occurrence of anseniia
also in the human subject.
The short facts are that, i£ we compare the several
features of pernicious ansemia with those of surra, the
identity is very plainly apparent. When we include a
broeder horizon and cansider all the clinical peculiarities,
or those features by which we most readily recognise
the disease, we find abundant evidence of ideiitity
between surra and pernicious ansemia.
As to the differencc in the prevalence of pernicious
anseniia in male and female animals, we have observed
that the disease prevails irrespective of all sex, as it
spares neither the male nor the female sex during an
outbreak, and also attacks mules placed under similar
conditions. While it is known "that the reason the hu-
man female was more subject to the disease was owing
to the condition of the generative system—ovulation
and menstruation—causing greater disturbance in the
blood forming process in the female than in the male ;
at the some time ansemia was common not only to the
female, when special calls were made on the vascular
■System in puborty, but to the male also." (Brit. Med.
Journ.,
March 31, 1888, page 700.)
From a comparative point of view, it is interesting to
observe how the above manifestations of pernicious
ansemia, correspond with those shown in man, in whom
the fatality, duration and course, and other features
pcculiar to this disease in animals are represented by so
closely allied characters. The marked ansemia noted in

surra, the paroxysms of increase of temperature, the
duration and course, and the extreme fatality, together
with the history of the parasites seen in the blood, f orm
a group of coditions sufficiently diagnostic of pernicious
anaemia. The leucocytosis which is a marked feature
of pernicious ansemia, is also characteristie of surra, and
which in typical cases is always present.
, Now, with regard to the parasites in surra, to which
I attach importance. The only point especially to note
is that, besides the organism described by Dr. Evans
and named after him as the trichomomas, or hce?natomonas
Evansi,
there is sometimes found another, a bacillus,*
and which I believe to be more or less common, though
not specially connected with the disease.
This bacillus was found associated with beri-beri in
Burma ponies described by Dr. "VVallaco Taylor (Report on
Beri-Beri,
or Kekke, 1880), a disease marked by paralysis
of thehindquartersand extremely fatal—symptoms which
have been remarked also in pernicious anajmia of
equine patients described by German veterinary surgeons.
(Archiv fiir Wiss. u. Praktische Thierheilkunde, Bd.
12, 5 m 6 Heft, 1886.) Has the organism in question
any connection with disease, or is it a special organism
only associated with it and whose life-history is not yet
determined , are questions which cannot be considered as
settled. Many of these bacilli are probably of a septictemic
form accidentally present in certain cases. Dr.
Pekelharing, of Atchin, has only recently demonstrated
the presence of special diplococci in cases of beri-beri.

Dr. Carterf has also very recently found bacillar forms
associated with malarial fever in man.
It would appear as if, with the discovei-y of the surra
producing organism, the pathology of the disease was
satisfactorüy settled. This, however, is hardly the case,
for the following considerations, among others, render
it evident that in surra cases other features in addition
to the function of the parasites have to be explained.
Thus, we find similar parasites present in healthy rats.
Then again, we have the fact, on which I have not as
yet dwelt, that, in order to produce disease changes in
animals, various eonditions, such as appear in surra, are
essential. That these parasites are not of themselves
able in many cases to set up the disease changes present
in surra is evident also from the fact that they are fre-
quently present in the blood of rats without producing
surra. Thus Dr. Crookshank has shown that in rats
apparontly in perfect health, in London, the same para-
sites were present in the blood, without causing any
lesions corresponding to those seen in surra. In fact,
he says these rats appeared in perfect health, although
more than 25 per cent. showed the parasites in their
blood on examination. Dr. T. E. Lewis had demonstrated
the same parasites in the blood of healthy rats in India.
In the case of successful inoculations with surra blood
containing the parasites, it is not possible to draw a
sharp line between the action of the parasites and that
of the blood from surra cases, because a number of
eonditions are always combined in the same case. The

organisnis have never been isolated apart from surra
blood, and the disease then produeed by inooulation; and
this fact is of interest in connection with the blood of
rats containing similar organisme, without 'giving riso
to any apparent disease. To this we may add the
observation of similar parasites by Dr. Evans in the
blood of diseased as well as healthy eamels( Veterinary
Journal,
1881, p. 10), which require explanation. Littlo
insight can be gathered from the observation of parasites
in the blood of diseased as well as healthy animals, when
the eonditions of their growth remain as yet utiexplained.
Whether cases of surra oceur in the horse, like those
of pernicious ansemia in this animal described by Conti-
nental veterinarians, as the result of the growth and
action of parasites in the blood, we do not know; for
the same parasites which seem to be the cause of surra
are often present in the blood of other animals in consider-
able numbers without causing surra. It is easy, how-
ever, to understand that the parasites may become
pathogenic under certain eonditions; and these eonditions
may be found in surra. The mere presence of these
monads in the blood would not appear to be sufficiënt of
itself to lead to the production of this disease. This is
very well seen in the case of the rats and camels we
have described before. Here we have evidence that al-
though the parasites exist in large numbers, the eondi-
tions are not always favourable for their growth and
action as in other animals. We may consider the eonditions
which aid the action of these organisms, and the chief of
these is what we may vaguely term general and local
depression of vitality. A number of experiments show
that when the vitality of a part lias been lowcred by
-ocr page 44-

cutting off the blood-supply for a comparatively short
time, organisms grow in that part rauch more readily
and luxuriantly than if the blood-supply had not been
interfered with, The trichomonas sanguinis attacks the
weakened blood eorpüscle, and assimilates the rich store
of protsids eontained within the highly organised but
comparatively non-rosistent cell. By the aid of this
store of proteids it acquires increased energy to reproduce
its like and to repeat the process of attack upon the
blood-cells, producing a state of general disease.
In normal conditions the action of the trichomonas san-
guinis is checked by the vital resistance of the tissue ele-
mentsjbut let this Standard be to the least extent lowered,
and the chances of an invasion at once become great.
This is even more true of the hsematozoa than of the
hsematophyta. Observe the readiness with which the
ascaris lumbricoides and other abdominal worms attack
children in preference to grown up people, because of the
difference in the vital reaction of the tissues; for, in the
case of the latter, the conditions of growth of the para-
sites would be absent in the healthy mucous membrane
of the intestines but more frequently present in children.
We also know that the same parasite attacks certain
horses in preference to others placed under similar con-
ditions; and these horses are said to be "subject to the
worms." The great importance of these facts in explana-
tion of the etiology of snrra will be at once apparent.
One can hardly conceive that these organisms should
exist in the blood, in any numbers, without affecting it
prejudicially, though we know that they have been föund
in the blood of animals which were apparently healthy.
Of course, it is düEcult to deflao any absolute Standard

of perfect health, and there may be a considerable amount
of caehexia, even in animals appearing quite healthy,
What the peculiar change in locality or action on the
part of the monads may be that determines the diseased
condition, is one of the points which needs elucidation.
We naturally ask if there be any analogy in the be-
haviour of other parasites in this respect ? Dracunculus
may cause little or no trouble in the earlier stages, but
developing, changing place, and discharging its embryos,
the gravest results follow trichina in its earlier stages
is comparatively unfelt, but may become the cause of
fatal disease.
It is easy to understand that the active monads if
directly removed from a case of surra and used along
with surra blood, may produce the disease if entering
the blood of an animal said to be free from it, when in
fact the monad as well as the infecting agent were
employed together in the same injections. We may
therefore conclude from these facts that, in order to
produce surra in animals, various conditions, such as
affect the patient's system as well as influonce the
parasite in question, are essential; and that in the ab-
sence of these conditions, the same parasites may frequent-
ly be present in the blood without causing any disease-
Were this not the case, we would expect to iind the
disease most readily contagious; whereas all experieiice
proves this to be incorrect; for, to quote the words of
Dr. Evans, "I find no evidence to show that the disease
is either contagious or infectious in the ordinary sense."
Similarly, in regard to the relation of anchylostoma to
the anasmia of Ceylon, it has been noticed that this
parasite was so frequent in the post mortem examination

of cases that did not die of ansemia, that it is doübtful
as to whether its presence invariably gives rise to ansemia
with all its train of symptoms.—(Brit. Med. Journ.,
June 30, 1888.)
Dr. Carter* lias now demonstrated that malarial fever
in man, is of the nature of hsematozoic affections; and
there is no doubt as to the presence of closely allied
ftagellated monads in the blood of horses suffering from
Burra; yet in some animals the same parasites seem to
exercise no ill-effects whatever. A real difficulty lies
in determining the relation of pathogenic and non-patho-
genic hssmatozoa, and in tracing the distribution of those
which play the róle of general infectivity. But the fact
of there being a difficulty to contend with in no way
affects the question, 'What is the relation of hsematozoa
to inf ective diseases ?' I believe many more of the f evers,
which show a paroxysmal tendency and may be seen
commonly attacking our animals, will be found to be of
tbis nature.
From a simple consideration of the presence of nagel-
lated monads in surra, it is at first sight difïicult to say
ex'actly how the clinical and pathological facts are to be
explained, whether surra has auy relation to ague in
the horse, because allied organisms have been described
as present in intermittent and remittent fever of mant;
we know that similar parasites have been seen in other

animals (rat and camel) apparently in perfect health.
Such a fact in itself is sufficiënt proof that infusorial
organisms of more or less similar appearance exist under
varying conditions—pathogenic and non-pathogenie—-
without implying any necessary connection between the
conditions themselves. Hence Dr. Carter thiuks that,
as has been stated to be the case in other diseases, organ- .
isms morphologically identical may have Tarying patho-
genic properties. I think, in order that we may under-
stand the pathology of surra, it will be as well perhaps
to examine into its clinical features, and see if they
bear any relation to any well-known disease of man and
animals. Such an examination seems to us to be dis-
tinctly indicated in the interest of our patients, and
must always be of thé deepest interest to to the practi-
tioner.
Those who have appreciated the true nature of surra
will not be surprised at the excessive mortality it causes
in our animals. In the meantime, further mvestigations
are needed, as it fe fully admitted by Dr. Carter that
the proof of the trichomonas being the cause of surra is
incomplete. No matter what the fate of the monads,
theclassification of the clinical characters peculiar to surra
is an object of the first importance, and the interest in
the share taken by infusorial organisms in the produc-
tion of this disease affords no exception to the rule. It
is remarkable that, witli all our attention and care
shown in the past in the invostigation of the characters
of the monads seen in surra, the clinical features of the
disease were not similarly considered. We iirtd accord--
ingly a variety of designations now in use, and we still
relyfor the most part ontheintorpositkm of sidequestions,

OR PERSTICIOUS AïMEMlA.
so that our facts are built up so far as they go on
the suggestion of others, instead of being founded on
facts encountered by us in aotual practice.
There is a further aspect of this partieular question
which calls for attention. The above-mentioned monads
are not the only organisms of this class of haematozoa
that have been discovered in the blood of animals. Al-
though they may undergo changes in their nature, in
their passage from one host to another, vet there are
different species, distinct from each other, which play a
part in the dissemination of disease in animals.
The observation of parasites in intermittent fever
of the horse (Equitie Digeaseg of India, July, 1887,
p. 4) resembling those described byLaveran in the blood
of man during the ague paroxysms, receives confirmatory
evidence from the pen of Dr. Carter, who found that in
ninety-three instances of malarious disease in man
(intermittent fever, siinple remittent fever, and splenic
cachexia) these organisms were present in nine. As to
the influence of blood-parasites in causing disease, it
is satisfactory to note that, in addition to the case of
intermittent and remittent fever above described, there
is the further fact of Dr. Kynsey's observation of the
disease called 'berl-beri,' or anchylostomiasis in Ceylon
being also duo to a hsematozoon, which afford interest-
ing confirmation of the views already advanced by veter"
inarians on the continent of Europe, in which similar
parasites have been shown to be the cause of fatal ansemia
in horses.
Other animals, besides the horse, have been known to
sulfer from the disease. Megnin describes a symptoma-
tic type of this disease seen in dogs and cats, which
-ocr page 49-
[cHAP,

42
was caused by an ankylostome produoing ansemia, and
which is, without doubt, similar disease to the symptom--
atic form of ansemia in man. Johne saw tliis disease
in the dog as a secondary affection föllowing a suppura-
tive form of disease. Imminger has observed enzootic
outbreaks of it in cattle. Fröhner describes hating
only recently seen cases of this disease in the horse, and
Friedberger also saw an outbreak of it in the same
anifflal.
We know how severely animals suffer from the pre-
sence in the blood of other minute organisms. The
strongylus tetracanthus gives rise to epizootic outbreaks
of emaciation in horses in many districts of England
(Gresswell, Manual of Jlquine Mediciue, 1885); the
strongylus contortus lias been known to produce a forni
of pernicious ansemia in the horse (poikiloaytose) observ-
ed in the Buenos Ayres (Wernicke, Be.uts. Zeits. f
Thierm. u. vergl. Pathologie,
13 Bd., 2 u. 3 Heft, 1887);
the presence of the anchylostomum duodenalis and the
trichocephalus dispar in the intestinal canal gives rise
to ansemia, or beri-beri in man (Kynsey, Report on Anw.
mia, or "Beri-Beri" of Ceylon,
1887); and the samo
parasites havo been found associated with pernicious
ansemia in the lower animals described by Professor
Fröhner (Archivf Wiss. u.Prakt. Thierheükunde, Bd. xii,
5 u. 6 Heft, 1886) and other veterinary surgeons,
Chlorosis in man owes its origin to the dochmius doudena-
lis (Leukhart); whilst not only anasmia but liver disease
and a foi*m of dysentery are produced by the same
parasite (Fayrer.)

the horses at Woolwich, is a no less remarkable instanee
of an animal parasite in the blood, which closely resem-
bles the filaria sanguinis of Lewis, setting up a specific
fever in animals. The disease was characterised by
relapses, the pyrexia being noticed to recede and recur
with interveniug periods of respite. There was present
catarrhal symptoins and icterus, with an intermittent
character of the pulse, and a tendency to cardiac throm-
bosis. The convalescence was protracted.
On the whole it must be confessed that while the
friet of the presence of the trichomonas in surra is well
established, the laws of its growth and action are by no
meaus well understood.
Sources of Infbction.—The surra parasites enter
the body of their hosts with food or water, and probably
pass by way of the bile-dwcts into the blood. They can
only infest animals which are kept on a similar diet
and water. But even among these many possess an
immunity against their action- In consequence of the
dietetic relations, the access of these parasites can be
prevented by timely adaption of the necessary preeau-
tions and by a change in the food and water-supply of
the horses. The shallow pools or marshy places which
are their natural habitat are very liable to dry up after
the rainy season, and at this time of the year grass
brought in from such places by the native grasscutters
would contain the embryoes which, gaining entery into
the system of horses, undergo development into the
mature worms seen in this disease. Having gained en-
tery into the alimentary track, whether by means of
the drinking-water or along with the grass, they emigrate
thence into the blood, which contams incredible numbors
-ocr page 51-

of them. The reeeption of the triohomonas, or its em-
bryoes, through sound skin is open to question.
The action of the surra parasite has been described as
thatof'tearing,' 'dragging,'or 'tugging'at the blood- corpus-
eles. Is the action of the strongylus armatus any differ-
ent on the mucous coat of the intestines and intima of tlie
blood-vessels ? The surra parasites are believed to poss-
ess suctorial organs, but they probably absorb their
food by endosmosis through the body-wall without any
mouth at all. They are transferred from one part of
the body to another, along with the blood-current, by
their wriggling movemeuts which are aided by the
flagella.
Varieties.—There is anotlier variety of surra, which
is never acute from the begiiming, or scarcely even
sub-acute. It is truly chronic, may last for months, and
though in the end perhaps equally fatal, is more slowly
so, and occasionally intermits during its course. Though
such animals may be seen to be frequently on the sick-
list for debility due to general loss of blood, indicated
by anaemia of mucous membranes, a weak and readi-
ly excitable pulse, and swelling of the limbs, etc,
they cannot be saki at any time to suffer from more than
chronic asthenia, and, to say the least of it, their
appetite remains as good throughout the course of this
disease as when they were in perfect héalth. Such cases
occur sporadically, are not very uncommon, and I believe,
a number of rejections by means of special casting
committees to which every battery of artillery and regi-
ment of cavalry is liable in India are due to this disease.
In most, if not all of these cases it is exceedingly diflicult
to iïiake any impression by the use of internal remedis.

ïhey are liable to frequent intermittent attacks of de-
bility, in many cases the animals falling away to a mere
skeleton, In the treatment of such cases a most
essential element is removal from the place where the
disease was contracted.
In the acute form, as mentioned before, the disease
is very fatal, but in the milder and more ohronic form
recovery is sometinies noted, although the malady being
liable to recurrence it is difficult to say whethor this
really takes place.
Complications.—-There is a tendency to the develop-
ment of a watery condition of the blood, resulting in
amemia and degeneration of the cerebro-spinal centres,
which gives rise to the paralysis sometimes seen in
this disease. But though spinal, hepatic, splenic,
or other complications, may intensify the severity of the
disease and hasten the fatal termination, they are not
essential concomitants, and appear to originate in the
peculiar state of the blood and to be kept up by its
progressively imperfect elaboration. I must leave the
consideration of paralysis proper, or 'kamri' as it is
called, to another chapter, but I may just say that
there are more causes than one which are coricerned in
the production of this disease of horses.
The pathological changes that take place in the various
organs and tissues of the body as a result of surra
may be characterised, in a word, as degeneration due to
imperfect nourishment. The blood itself is rendered
unfitted for thepurposes of proper nutrition, and degenera-
tive changes of an adipose character, sometimes leading
to disintegration of portions of the imperf ectly nourished
^isue, take place. When organs and parts so weakened

by starvation are distented with anaemic blood which
they cannot utilise, sloughs result from gangrene of the
imperfectly nourïshed tissues, as evidenced in theulcera-
tions of the stomach, etc., noted in this disease. The ulcer
itself, once formed,"suffers from nutritional defect, owing
to the impoverished state of the blood which prevents
the formation of resisting tissue around it, and often
leads to perforations. The alimentary mucous mem-
brane in general will be found to be in an anremic
condition, with petechise and ulcerated spots the result
of disintegration and atrophy. Although the tissues
present a blanched appearance, there is a large deposit
of fat all over the body, but especially noticeable under
the skin. This gives to the tissues a peculiar jauudiced
appearance, which is shown to be due to deposition of
fat globules seen under the microscope. It is easy to
uuderstand how a proeess of abstraction of blood, a
fluid ricli in oxygen, by the parasites, would lead to
the conversion of albuminoid tissue into fat.
Pathology.—If we look through the list of post
mortem changes special to surra, we shall see that they
almost all amount to changes centred in the blood, and
all other changes are subsequent to this. The blood
itself becomes ansemic, and shows an accumulation of
leucocytes owing to their not undergoing the natura 1
transformation into the coloured corpuscles. The red
corpuscles are much altered in appearance, being crena-
ted or irregularly shrivelled, and sometimes assuming
crescent shapes, although it is doubtful whether tho
latter may not be only another stage of the trichoinonas.
There are a number of sinall, colourless disks or blood-
plaques in the serum. When examiiied fresh after

staining iu sol. of methyl-violet, they appear as""small,
circular disks, whieh quickly alter in shape, and have
hence been mistaken for fragments of white-cells. If
the parasites destroy the red corpuscles leading to their
decrease, what explanation can be givon of the accumu-
lation of leucocytes 1 The facts connected with the
pathology of this disease strongly support the view that
an increased number of leucocytes in the blood cannot
be accountod for on the theory of parasitic action alone,
as it is doubtless in some way related to changes associ-
ated with the lymphatic system of which we possess
little or no knowledge as yet.
The lymph-follicles of the intestinal tract, especially
those of the small intestine, are svvollen and enlarged,
and there is an accumulation of a sero-lymphoid fluid in
the stomach and small intestine, and sometimes also in
the abdominal cavity, in excess of that found in health.
The lymphatic glands throughout the body are gen-
eralij more or less swollen and cedematous. There is
often acute dropsy, with no other post mortem lesion
save extreme ansemia and yellow-staining of the^tissues
due to fatty degeneration*.
As the lymphatic glands supply lymph-corpuscles to
the blood, this may account for the eXcessive production
of leucocytes, although how and in what way this extra-
ordinary accumulation of leucocytes in the blood is
produced in surra has not yet been clearly explained.
The effect of this disease on the system seems, in fact)
to be the production of what is probably a weak tissue,

and one unable to resist in any way the attacks of the
parasites.
Treatment.—Surra in animals seems to have been
somewhat frequent of late in many stations in India,
and notwithstanding all that has been done in recent
years to elucidate its pathology, its medical treatment
does not seem to have advanced very much. Consiclering
the frequency with which outbroaks of surra are met
with, and the large number of deaths which have foliow-
ed the attempts to effect a cure, I think that the
treatment of this disease demands more serious attention
than we have hitherto accorded it. The remedy above
all others which has been spoken of by all veterinarians
without exeeption, is arsenic, pushed as far as possible.
This treatment has sometimes been foliowed by recovery
in cases of pernicious anremia in man, and Continental
veterinarians have noted recoveries from it in that
disease seen in the horse. The cases which have ro-
covered under this treatment prove, I think, as far as
they go, that arsenic is a specific for the disease, in the
sense that ipeoacuanha is a specific for some forms of
dysentery, and quinine for fever. We attached consider-
able importance to arsenic in the treatment of cases of
surra, with the view of contrasting or comparing the
results with those obtaincd tbrough the use of this agent
in pernicious anremia; and veterinary surgeou Butler, in
Burmah, hasonly lately reported mostinteresting results
' from treatment of cases of this disease with "arsenic
pushed as far as possible." The cases are "doing wcll, not
losing condition, and the temperature keeping down."
There is little doubt that if the disease is treated early

such as thymol, turpentine, santonin, etc, and by removal
from the contammated area, or, if that be impracticable,
by changing the water and making some variation in
the location of the animals, great benefit, if not absolute
removal of the disease, may be secured. To obtain the
most satisfactory results, it should be treated early,
beiore marked tissue changes have taken place. If the
treatment be adopted at a later period, it may still be
■beneficia!, though less so than in the early stage.
Chloride of ammonium should be given to relieve
symptoms which ai-e chiefly referablc to congestion of
the liver. The symptoms referable to hepatic congestion
in surra are signs of the parasitic action—danger signals
so to speak—-and as such should be early averted, if
possiblo. Calomel is saicl to be necessary to remove
the profuse mucous secretion in the intestines which
protects the worms. Since "we recommemded the latter,
veterinary surgeon Cooper has tricd another preparation
of mercury, the hydrarg. perchlor. in the treatment
of surra. Ho fouud that the cases "improved greatly"
imder this treatment, and were "progressing towards
recovery." Good results may here be anticipated by
the use of this agent, due to its physiological. action in
increasing the normal activity and vital resistance of
the cells, and enabling them successfully to resist the
attacks of a parasite common in surra. Atees is much used
in native practicc, and there may be cases in which it
might be expediënt to use it; but it can in no way take
the place of arsenic and other remedies above-mentioned.
Hypodermic injection of quinine has a powerful effect
in reducing temperature during the paroxysms. I
know of nothing that has an antipyretic power as the
-ocr page 57-
ë0                              "surra"                                  [cüaP.
sulphate of quinine, for it decreases the temperature,
retards tissue change, and prevents or modifies periode
city. When complications aiise in the course of surra,
as paralysis of the hinder quarters, etc, they should te
treated in accordance with the plan adopted in such
cases.
Exercise should also be conjoined to the abovemcthods
of treatment, as there are many oases in which regulan
walking exercise will improve the nutrition of the mus-
cular system and of the heart, and tend to the promotion
of circulatory vigour, which may influonce the amouut
and number of micro-parasites found in the blood and
also their probable modus opefandi.
Surra is a disease of debility, and it is very desirable
to keep up the strength of the animal; and for thtó
reason plenty of nourishment must te given, but it
should te fhiid or semi-fluid, aud of the most bland and
unirritating character—linseed tea, starch gruel, etc,
All remedies of a sedative, or depressing nature should
be avoided, as they are unneeessary aud tend to establish
that which it is our object to avert—debility. Change
of locality and climate is most favourable to recorery in
these cases.
The interesting series of facts now briefly recorded
have led us on step by step through many difficultiés
and much obscurity in the past, in atlength recognising
the rektion between surra and pernicious aatemia of
man and the lower animals, and we have further sliown
its analogy to the 'South Wales disease' of ponies describ-
ed by English voterinarians, a parasitic disease which
prevails as an enzooty during certain seasons and carries
off" many scores of animals in that couutry.

Such facts as these deserve very thoughtful study, as
evsjdences of the éxceeding likeness of the features üoted
in man and the lower animals in what seems to us the
same disease. Whether the comparison be made in the
symptoms, or in the duration, course, fatality and other
features, the evidence is of the same kind, and is convin^
cing enoUgh.
Beri-beri in man {Lancet, October 22, 188?) is probably
the same disease as surra in the lower animals. It is
described as occurring under two forms—one which is
marked by paralytic symptoms, the othef in which a
dropsical condition predominates, the same as in surra
seen in the lower animals. The Lancet recently published
a full account of the malady which is known as beri-beri
in many parts of this country, to which reference may
be made for its poculiar characteristics, "the most
constant and striking of which is the progressive ansemia/'

medical experience and research have indicated,
Veterinary investigation appears to confirm, as may be
observed on au inquiry into the liistory of beri-beri and

CHAPTER III
"kamri"; ob, paraplegia.
The Indian word kamri serves to describe in a general
way the diseases of the loins, and especially paraplegia.
A somewhat similar disease in man is called "ardhang",
or more literally "adhangi," adha meaning half, and dng
body, i. e. having the use of half the body, or affecting
half the body only.
ETIOLOGY.
The causes of this disease may be divided into climatic,
hygienic, dietetic, surgical and specific.
climatic causes.—The atmospheric changes are a
frequent cause of the disease in the horse in India.
This is especially remarked during damp seasons, and is
explained on the "chili theory", according to which the
nervous system, in ondeavouring to adapt itself to the
noeds of the body, exposod to the great and violent
changes of temperature said to occur during certain
seasons in India, breaks down and becomes disorganised;
that is to say, kamri is essentially a disease of the nervous
-ocr page 61-
54
[ClIAP.
"kamei"
sjstem caused by exposure to climatic conditions. Chili
is probably a wrong term to use, for the breakdown is
neariy as often occasioned by exposure to excessive heat
as to excessive cold. Fatal kamri is often caused by
exposure to heat in some cases probably by cerebral
hfemorrhage. These cases occur not only on exposure to
the direct action of the sun's rays, as when the animals
have been depressedor exhausted af ter a long march and
are afterwards made to stand in an open camp without
shelter, but also in the case of animals otherwise exposed
to great heat in this country, especially in animals which
are over-crowded, badly housed, and exposed to foul air
at night, as ia the case of grasscutters' ponies duringthe
rains.
Fresh arrivals in India, especially Australian re-
mounts, are more prone to sulfer tlian other animals
which are acclimatised and are native to the country.
It is easy to understand that a country-bred animal will
bear an amount of heat with impunity, which would
prove fatal to a new arrival; although when the temper-
ature rises above a certain Standard, all animals succumb
alike. Animals in regular exercise, and those acclima-
tised to the country, are able to withstand a very high
temperature, beyond what such a temperature would
exert on the bodies of other animals. If the atmosphere
be pure and moderately dry, and if the health of the
animals be not otherwise impaired and so long as the
functions of perspiration, urination, and respiration are
free, such animals will withstand a very great amount of
heat. Ill-health from any cause operating from within
and malarious and ill-sanitary influence acting from
without the body, predispose the animal to the disease.
-ocr page 62-

OR PAEAPLEGIA.
Government horses are less likely to suffer because their
gcneral health is maintained by proper stabling and fresh
air, whilst private and natives' horses succumb when
placed in unhealthy surroundings. The effect of impure
air on the bram which is supplied with contaminated
blood is to depress and even to pervert its activity. It
is a mistake to suppose that heat alone, especially dry
heat, unaccompanied by any of the causes above enumer-
ated, produces this disease. Even if we wero to admit
it possible that the animal was affected by a "stroke of
the wind," or loo as the natives believe, we must admit
that the effects of impure air would be still greater by
poisoning the blood which would exert its action on the
nerves and brain.
This most important subject of "wind-stroke" has been
so much discussed, and is so well-worn, that to dweil on
it at any length would be superfluous. It must be at
once admitted that if the hot winds had any appreciable
influence in exciting the disease known as kamri iu
India, the proportion of cases during the dry, hot months
would be much greater than during any other season
of the year. Considering the large number of cases
witnessed during the rains, and even in the cold weather,
this knowledge of its characteristic will impart a
stimulus to future inquiry employed to throw light upon
this subject. It is quite open to question whether the
romaining few cases, seen in extreme hot weather, do not
occur as a result of some of the conditions enumerated
above, and which predispose the animals to the disease.
Some of the most serious cases are those which come on
under cover atnight aswell asby day, when the animals
have in no way been exposed to the rays of the sun.

"KAMRl"
An atmosphere that is loaded with moisture particularly
predisposes to the disease by preventiug evaporation
from the skin, and this is a much wider source of danger
than actual rays of the sun. Hence it is that the dry
atmosphere of the North-West Provinces and the Punjab,
is much better tolerated than the damp atmosphere of
Bengal; and the greater frequency of these cases towards
the close of the rains as compared with those seeu during
dry weather, may be similarly explained.
"Veterinary surgeon Spooner Hart, of Calcutta, bas late-
ly pointed out ( Veterinary Journal, July, 1887) that, both
kamri and roaring are the result, in many insta nces, of
exalted body temperaturc, such as occurs iu hunters
and race-horses during training and galloping, and in
the class of cases knovvn as thermic fever (sunstroke.)
From a large numbor of observatious made in these
cases, it lias seemed, lirst, that the chan^es of temperature
in certain seasons are sudden and violent; and, secondly,
that the connection between these variations of temper-
ature and perhaps the malarious character of localities
in which tliey are oftcn observed is such as to lead to
the conclusion that if not in themselves the cause of the
disease, they uncioubtedly have a most intimate counec-
tion with it, and suggest precautionary measures In local-
ities where kamri is most frequent. Much may, indeed,
bê done in all cases by avoiding exposure to the above-
mentioned extreme variations of temperature, and by
mainteuance of "tone" in the nervous system.
dietetic cacses.—Besides climatic conditions, tliero
are also certain dietetic causes in operation which produce
kamri both in horses and in men, and which havo
been proved sufficiënt to induce this disease when

experimentally given toanimals, or taken byhumanbe-
ings, as food. A variety of Indian pulse, which is found to
be indentical with the Lathi/rus Sativus, and known as the
kusari, kasar, tiura, tiuri, and latri, is fraudulently
mixed with grain sold in the bazaars in India, and is
a frequent cause of paralysis in horses when eaten in
sufHciently large quantity to have effect. It is grown as
a cold weather erop, and on land which will raise no
other kind of pulse—chiefly on clayey soils, and on land"
submerged in the rainy seasou, and which hardens during
the cold weather almost to the consistency of stone, and
splits up into long, deep fissures. It occasionally gro-ws
in rice-fields whilst the rice stubble is still standing.
ChemicaUy it is exceptionally rich in nitrogenous con-
stituents, and this may account f or its tendency to produce
paralysis. Horses which have been fed on the plant for
a considerable period drop while performing the lightest
work in consequence of paralysis of the hinder extremi-
ties, and in many cases death follows from bilateral
paralysis of the lary ngeal recurrent nerves and consequent
asphyxia.
It is true tliat animals fed on coniparatively large
quantities of the kasari dal have sometimes escaped all
liarm; and notwithstanding that it is so oftcn present
in the gram allowed even to regimental horses, only ono
in a hundred ever develops kamri; but the. progress of
tlie disease is slow, and although in small quantities
taken at long intervals it may not be foliowed by any
ill-results, the numborless cases in which a long-continu-
ed use of tlie kasari dal has been seen to produce kamri
in our horses, should secure some attention. The experi-
once of many former outbreaks of kamri will show what
-ocr page 65-

time will accomplish in horses fed even in small quanti-
ties on this legunie. It produces myelitis or beemorrbage
of the spinal eord, leading to secondary degeneration,
although there may be no naked-eye indications of this
spinal cord affection on making a post mortem examina-.
tion even in cases far advanced in the disease.
Sübgical conditions.—(a) Reflex Karnri.—Clinical
observation teaches us that not merely motory impressions,
but those also which cause sensatioiis, may be reflected;
so that the impression of one part is experienced by
sensation in another. Impressions on the ultimate dis-
tribution of one nerve produee scnsations in parts sup-
plied by another nerve, or by another branch of the
same nerve. Thus in shoulder lameness, and in lameness
noted behind due to renal and cystic disease, calculi, etc.,
the sensatioiis cannot be referred to direct nervous com-
munication, but to an influence refiected, probably from
the spinal centre only. In intestinal concretions, and
in acute colic in the lower animals, we are familiar with
lameness from pain reflected to the extremities. Experi-
mental facts show that there are reflex inhibitory centros
in the cord. "VVe are acquaiiitcd with nerves whose action
consists in the inhibition of the action of other nerves;
and so pathologists have been induced to look upon reflex
paralysis and reflex inhibition as very similar processes.
(b) Traumatic Kamri.—Kamri is sometimes produoed in
its worst form from injury to the sj>irie.
SPBCIFIC causes.—Symptoms resembling those of ordin-
ary kamri may be seen accompan3Ting the course of
certain specific diseases, but especially that of authrax,
rabies, surra and others. We are familiar with a form
of paralysis of the hinder qüartors which occurs in
-ocr page 66-
m.]
.50
OH PARAPLEGIA.
cases of rabies in the horse, but cspecially towards the
jatter stages of that malady ; and this form of the disease
sinmlates kamri in the horse wlien the history of the
case is not known. Diagnosis is genei'ally easy wheu
we have the previous history of the case, and when other
symptoms, absent in kamri, have been remarked in the
case preceding the paralysis.
2.   Similarly, one form of anthrax, attended with para-
lysis of the hinder quarters, may be mistaken for kamri,
but is distinguishable from it by (a) the course of the
disease; (&) the concomitant symptoms of anthi-ax, which
are never witnessed in kamri; and (c) the presence of the
bacillus anthracis in the blood and other tissues of the
patiënt.
3.   Dr. Wallace Taylor made the observatiou ia 1880,
that outbreaks of bori-bcri in man were frequently asso-
ciated with outbreaks of paralysis in animals—but
especially in ponies and mulea in Burma, China, Japan
and adjoining countries—and that this discase of animals
had a pathological relation to that seen in human beings,
in that the blood of affectcd animals showed, on examina-
tion, the same organisms—bacilli—as Dr. Taylor had dcs-
cribed in beri-beri of man. The subject of beri-beri has
attracted considerable attention in India and elsewhere,
and every day new and hitherto imperfectly understood
diseases are coming under its nomenclature. Sir J.
Fayrer even suggests that pernicious ansemia is probably
the same disease in Europe. Cases of cedema of obscure
origin, as well as other diseases so often met with in
practice in India, might also be shown to be but different
forms of beri-beri. One fact is noteworthy in Dr.
Taylor's account, namely, change of situation and climate
-ocr page 67-
[criAP.

"KAMBl"
always brings about an improvement in the cases; and
this fact has been noted also in animals, as Dr. Tayloi"
mentions both an acute and a chronic form of paralysis,
and it is the latter cases which benefit inostly by a change
of situation.
4. We have seen that paralysis of the hinder quarters
sometimes characterised cases of surra in India, and Pro-
fessor Fröhner has noted the same feature in Germany,
where this symptom of paralysis was not infrequeutly
present in pernicious anremia in animals.
DIAGNOSIS.
I think the etiology of the disease shows that the
subject of kamiï in thehorse—whether true or symptom-
atic kaïnri—is at once wide and interesting, and there-
fore worthy of our closest eonsideration. We must not,
however, confound the simple forms of kamri with those
due to specific causes, which are readily distinguishable
by the course and concomitant symptoms, the presence of
the specific organisms in the blood and other tissues, the
influenco of treatment, etc. The paraplegia accompany-
ing the course of specific fevers—anthrax, rabies, suri'a,
etc—is not a neurosis, but is without doubt symptomatic,
arising from reflex irritation of some remote disturbance,
in this instance probably some blood-vascular derange-
ment of congestive character. It is obvious that, the
spiual cord being a complex organ, any reflex irritation
arising from it would be more or less generally manifest-
ed, thus explaining the posterior paralysis sometimes
noted in the course of these diseases. It is generally
transient in character, of varying degrees of severity,
-ocr page 68-
III.]                                      Olt PARAPLEGIA.                                     61
and usually passes off on the disappearance of the other
symptoms common to the disease. The paralysis in
kamri comea on quite independently of any febrile dis-
turbance, and always runs a prolonged course, the symp.
toms lasting for many months or even years. In fact,
general belief stamps the disease to be, as a rule, incura-
ble through lire: hence all animals affected with kamri,
in the old stud days, were sold by public auction, as
unfit for the service.
SYMPTOMS.
A horse affected with kamri stands in the stall with
his hind legs vinder him, i. e. places them somewhat for-
ward uador the bolly and parallel to each other, instead
of one leg before the other as in health. He changes
his position now and then, and again stands as aforemen"
tioned. In backing, he does so with difficulty, and drags
his hind legs under liim, and, if any force is used, even
goes down sometimes on his haunches. In trotting, he
lias a rolling action behind, and the hind legs swing f rom
side to side, especially in going up or down hill, which
is noticeable from the hips downwards. In turning at a
trot on the left, the animal swings the off hind leg out-
wards, and the near hind leg when turning on the right
side. Some severe cases have a difficulty in rising in the
stall, and, except in cases of kamri from injury, they
evince no pain on pressure to the loins.
PROGNOSIS.
The prognosis is more hopeful in young than in very
old animals, as in the latter it is less amenable to treat-
meiit even in the early stages, and in either chronic or
-ocr page 69-
62
[CHAP.
"KAMRl"
ordinary kamri serious symptoms are more likely to
supervene in older horseg than in young ones, in whicli
it is under the control of appropriate treatment. I think
that it may be stated generally that a person sliould not
purchase a horse for at least twelve months af ter ameüora-
tion of the acute symptoms, and that he ought not to do
so whilst any weakness in the animal's action is noticed,
whatever time has elapsed since apparent recovery.
TBEATMENT.
The treatmentwhich is found most efficacious in practice
is the internal administration of nux vomica, commenc-
ing with 20 grs. doses, and gradually increasiug the
amount to two drachms each dose, given twice daily
till improvement is noticed. In some cases the iodide of
potassium will be found beneficial, with iron and other
tonios. It is always wcll to administer a physic previous
to commencing the treatment by more specific agcnts.
When symptoms simulating those of kamri proper follow
in the course of any specific fever, the same treatment
-will be indicated as is found beneficial in the manage-
ment of that particular fever; we must, in fact, treat
the disease, and not the symptom in this instance.
In the case of gram so obviously faulty as that
aforementioned in which the presence of kasari dal is
unduly heavy, a committee should, if occasionally con
vened, act as an effectual check upon the culpable
carelessness of contractors. The presence of a few of the
kasari seeds in a relatively large bulk of gram is doubt-
less of no great moment, and it is not easily avoidable
in soine districts during certain seasons of the year; but
we must contend for a reasonable degree of official
-ocr page 70-
m.]
D3
OR PARAPLEGIA.
attention on behalf of the general health and food supply
of the horses. It used to be said that animals fed on
grain containing the kasari dal have frequently escaped
all harm, and the view that it lias any action in produc-
ing kamri in horses has quite recently been denounoed
as "theoretieal." Nothing would be gained by substi-
tuting gram mixed with kasari dal for the pure gram in
ninety-nine cases out of a hundred, and something would
in every case be lost.
In those cases of kamri where heat is the primary
cause of the diseaso, the object is to reduce temperature
as speedily as possible, and before tissue changes have
taken place. The bowels should bc relieved at once and
injections of quinine given hypodermically to reduce
temperature and blood-pressure. Locally, the judicious
applicatiou of cold by affusion, and counter-irritation by
blisters over the spino are esscntial.
PATIIOLOGY.
The symptoms of kamri cocsist in disordered iijnerva-
tion and general functional derangemcnt, leading to
secondary changes which inay be found in varying
degrees of severity in different cases. There is inarked
hypersemia and extravasation of blood causing
pressure on the cord, which is found to have undergono
degencrative chansres of the nerve cells ; the latter are
atrophied, shrunken, or eaten away, the connectivo tissue
of the cord and membranes being hvpertrophied. The cord
itself is sometimes seeu to bs enormously thickened due
to this hypertrophy of connectivo tissue.
The above changes are, doubtless, of secondary origin,
the result of the' disturbance of function, and afford no
-ocr page 71-
[CHAP.
G-f
"KAMEl
indication of the morbid influence by which the function
is disturbed. The one almost solitary fact which we
have to guide us in seeking for the seat of the
disease is the change in the irritability of the mortor
nerves of the hinder quarters. This proves beyond a
doubt that the nutrition of these nerves is changed. But
such a change in the nerves suggests a similar change
in the mortor nerve-cells of the 'spinal cord. Of these
the mortor axis-cylinders are the processes, and share
the changes in nutrition of the parent cell. Moreover,
the loss of power, or paralysis itself, indicates that there
is a morbid state of the grey matter, since we know that
only nerve-cells -can liberate the energy which causes
motor power. We may feel sure, therefore, that the
motor nerve-calls of the cord and the fibres proceoding
from them, are in a morbid state. But whether the
morbid condition arises primarily in the cord, or descends
from higher centres, we cannot teil, and opinions which
may be given, that this or that part of the brain is the
seat of the disease, would belong, in the present state of
our kiurvleiige, to the region of unsupported theory. We
are not justified in going for the seat of the disease
bevond the spinal axis, including the grey matter of the
pons and medulla, in which a morbid state ismidoubted-
ly indicated. The enduring alteration in function proves
some change in their nutrition ; but the fact that this
change remains limited to weakened power, and frequent-
ly passes away entirely or becomes greatly improved
under appropriate treatment, proves that it is compara-
tively sliglit in degree, and probably limited to such fine
molecular changes as could not be recognised bv any
means of iavestigation at present at our disposal.

CHAPTEÏl IV.
"BABSATI;" OB,ATEOPIIIC CABCINOi(A,
From 1838 to 1879 nümerous essays, papers, and other
contributions were published on this subject of barsati,
especially those which came from the pens of army
veterinarians serving at that time in India ; and nümerous
theories were propounded as to its nature.
These observations refer to a few additional branches
of inquiry set forth here, and I believe they may not be
devoid of interest as supplying a continuation of the
history of the disease ; while, at the same time, it will
be of some importance on account of its nomenclature
and pathology, barsati being confounded in India with
many other diseases, some of which are sufficiently
characteristic, while others may be said to possess only
a casual resemblauce to it. It is therefore necessary to
have as clear a view of the disease under consideration
as possible, which can only be obtained by comparing
its characteristics as they occurred to various observers
in separate localitics, in different years and seasons, and
under varied conditrons of climate and treatment.

Since I first sketehecl my experience of barsati in the
Veteritiary Journal in 1880, and especially since the publi-
eation of my Pamphlet on .Barsati or E.juine Cancer in
1686, the leading idea of that cxperienco has been largely
recognised. Thus, it has lately been asked whether
caucer is not more provalent among our animals in
certain districts of England than hitherto recognised ;
and the disease was already well-known to veterinarians
especially on the continent of Europe, and, more recent-
ly, has been described in America also.
The conflicting ideas or dogmas urged as to the proper
treatment of barsati prove that the true theory that can
alone govern a rational scheme of treatment is not yet
fairly recognised. Following the views of Mr. Collins
and of some of the older practitioner», there are thoso
who advocate the parasitio theory as constituting the
whole explanation of barsati, and who assume that the
treatment of this disease consists in removing the parasites
from the sore, if possible—when they arej ustified in leaving
all else out of consideration, well satisfïed ir tliey can patch
up their cases even for a few months. As regards the
clinical features of the disease in their relation to human
cancer, all that we cansay is thatthereis apeeuliarlilceness
in all its phases, not necessarily limited to the history of
t!io parasites, which has an important hearing on the
pathology of the disease. At the same timo, the parasitio
theory will not suflice to explain all the facts regarding
cancer or barsati in our animals, seeing that the disease
is not producod by injection of the parasites into the
eireulation, unless sorne otlier detenniniug cause, such
ds injury or previous attack, comes into play ; and be-
eause also the disease not infrequentlj occurs when no

parasites cair be demonstrated in the sores, save such
as develop on the outside of the latter in specimens
steeped in special solutions.
Cancer, as a disease in the lower animals, does not
find a place in many of our best treatises ou veterinary
surgery, and the literature of the subject of malignaut
growths in general is so scant that, in the course of my
reading, I have only met with but one or two classifica-
tions attempted in English, although it has been made
the subject of repeated consideration by Continental
practitioners. The comparative claims of the diverse
divisions of the subject of malignant growths it is at
present unnecessary to discuss. It will be convenient
in this place to regard the disease simply from its owu
aspect, and to show that sufficiënt importance is not
assigned to it in the treatment of the malady. In ac-
cordance with this view, I have attempted to invite the
attention of the members of the profession to the clinical
features of which no satisfactory explanation lias yet
been given. In this chapter I have collected certain
bits of evidence which may help to advance the inquiry
a stage, even if my arguments should'fail to convince tlie
critical.
I propose to consider the subject under the following
heads, in which we have to appreciate the experience
and iudications given by practitioners in human surgery,
and in turn to compare our own with them. "We have
constantly searched lor a kind of index to these facts ;
and from them, whenaccumulated in sufficiënt numbers,
we may be enabled to deduce general conclusions :—

GEOGRAPHICAL DISTRIBUTION.
Tlie geographioal distribution of barsati gives perhaps
the best indications of its pathology. Tho indications
have rather increased since the important researclies of
Sir James Paget, Mr. Haviland and others on the dis*
tributiou of cancer in England. It is eonclusively
shown that in human beings cancer does not prevail to
any extent, if at all, in certain roeky districts which
afford much limestone, and suggests preventive means
in other districts where it is more prevalent. Dr. Heury
Butliu lias already shown that "High and dry localities
are unfavourable to the occurrence of cancer, and that
the , disease flourishes chiefly in low, flat parts of the
country (England) which are covered by alluvium and
watered by many streams that are subject to frequeut
floods." {Brit. Med. Jour., July 11, 1885.)
A fact connected with this differeiiBe of distribution is
that which I pointed out sonie years ago, viz. that the
prevalence of barsati was associated with the principal
river systems of India. In examining the distribution
of barsati in India,-we found that the lüghest precentage
of admissious from this cause was noted in the Bengal
studs, which were situated on the banks of the principal
river systems in the country. The Government stud
at Hajipur, near Patna, was abolished many years ago
in consequence of this very prevalence of barsati ainong
the horses. Since my return to India recently I had
shown the prevalence of barsati to be greatest in stations
situated on the banks of the river Ganges, and that in
hilly districts which were located some distance away
from the principal river-beds, there was to be found an
-ocr page 76-

exceptional decrease in cases of this disease. Take, for
example, Jubbulpore and Saugor Districts. Here there
is an entire absence of barsati, noted in animals often
previously affected in other stations, as shown by the
veterinary history sheets. Not only in this district, but
in others further down the valley of the Narbada, the
Bijawar rocks afford limestones of various qualities* and
one which the famous 'marble rocks' are particularly
noteworthy, both for the beauty and purity of the
material of which they are composed.
The Saugor rocks which contain a great proportion
of limestone, are also seen to be free from barsati.
Since my connection with this station, now over two
years, I have not known a single case of primary barsati
either in Government or in private animals.
Raipore District, in the Central Provinces, where
limestone is so abundant throughout that it would be
difficult to say where it is not found, I am told by many
old residents that barsati is practically unknown there;
and veterinary surgeon Hazelton writes to say (Q. J. V.
S., ApriL 1888) that "barsati is practically unknown
at St. Thomas' Mount", in Madras.
Spontaneous resolution of a barsati sore sometimes
takes place on arrival into a hilly station, and I have
recently had examples of this in battery horses at Saugor,
as shown by the veterinary history sheets ; and I attri-
buted the cure to the change of stations, where the
animals showed rapid recovery under simple treatment.
In oue case the disease had recurred several times when
in another station, which rapidly recovered on arrival at

Saugor, and has never since appeared. Principal veter-
inary surgeon Olipliant has drawn special attention to
the fact, mentioned in my Pamphlet on Barsati published
in 1886, that taking horses, the subject of barsati, to the
hills, brings about a speedy improvement. I have re~
commended several horses suffering from this disease to
be taken to the hills, with marked benefit in every case.
It will thus be seen that the disease prevails chiefly
in low-lying, damp localities, and that in rocky stations
it has been wituessed only as an exception, at long
intervals.
The rocky nature of the soil here doubtless assists in
reducing the number of admissions from this disease;
but whether by its physical or its chemical characters,
it is difficult to say. "The silurian and other rocks that
assist in reducing the prevalence of cancer", says Dr.
Haviland (Lancet, March 10, 1888), "do somore by their
physical than their chemical characters." While Dr.
William Stanwell advocates the treatment of óancer
by lime salts, notably burned oyster shells, 'and says
that cancer mortality is less in limestone districts in
England. (Lancet, April 21, 1888.)
Barsati flcurishes in the low-lying parts of India
where heat and moisture are combined. It is seldom
or never heard of on the hills or in dry, elevated
localities ;■ and the Collective Investigation Committee
in England, who were recently engaged in an inquiry
into the prevalence of human cancer, bring forward
evidence to show that that disease prevails under similar
conditions. Dr. Lyford,* of America, writing on barsati,

says,—"It seems to be confined to the neighbourhood
of Minneapolis and St. Paul, with the exception of a
few cases which migrate each year." Minnesota, with its
chief towns, St. Paul and Minneapolis, offer a climatic
type precisely similar to that of India in the rains. The
chief drawback to the above-mentioned districts is tho
trying and unbealthy period which accompanies the
annual melting of the snow.
Geographical distribution has never yet been studied
in relatiou to barsati, as far as I am aware ; but this un-
due prevalence of that disease in some stations and
almost entire absence in others, requïre f urther investiga-
tion. Moreover, the remarkable difference in the prevalence
of barsati in dry and wet seasons, which I pointed out
some years ago, is sufficiënt to warrant us in believing
that there is something underlying in the causation of
this disease which has yet to be revealed. Another
fact connected with this difference in relation to locality,
season, etc, is that which I first pointed out in 1880 to the
readers of the Veterinary Journal, namely, that in my
inquiries into the characters of barsati, I had noted that
those who would best understand those local conditions
which are coincident with an increase of this disease
should study well the distribution of human cancer.
"There is abundant evidence to show that cancer does
not thrive in high, dry localities, where the soil is kept
sweet by the absence of floods, and the nature of the
rocks which either underlie it, or form its principal
constituents ; and that it does thrive and become very
fatal where floods prevail, where their emanations are
sheltered, where vegetation is killed, and where, after
the floods have passed away, a rank herbage springs up,

CLINICAL CHARACTERISTICS.
The relation of barsati to cancer of man has present-
ed great interest since our first announcement on the
subject, and if the identity was not before actually
suspected, the clinical observations and experiments
which appear in the past literature of the disease clearly
point in this direction, and which establish the identity
contended beyond cavil or dispute. There are
included in the faets given, reasons which, not refuted
by the parasitic theory, require separate and permanent
recognition.
We must now examine the several clinical features of
barsati and human cancer, and see if we can find that
any of them show marked and definite relations to each
other. I give quotations of the disease as seen in the
two different species, for it is necessary to form a judg-
ment as to. the relatjve characters of each and to have a
wide overlook on experiences which have been in the
past recorded. My opinion is, and it is founded on
careful investigations of many years, du ring which time
I have witnessed the disease in its most varied and
pronounced aspects, that barsati is a disease common to
robust condition of body, and that, altliough appearing
in all animals, it is most frequently seen in horses ha-
ving reputed good condition of body, the health only
sufFering in proportion to the advance of the disease
from local parts to the internal organs. I believe the
recorded experienoe of other veterinary surgeous shows

tlxis conclusively. And the experience of surgeons re-
garding cancer in man-is that, "prior to, and for a
long time after the appearanoe of a cancerous sore, the
constitution is distinguished, in most eases, by its re-
markably healthy characters, and by the. absence of any
appearanCes which would indicate disease;"* The great
question which is thuS'raised is as to the condition of
patients previous to the appearance of this disease, and
the general answer is, "Remarkably healthy." Mr. Smithf
cliaracterises the condition of horses subject to barsati
as "vigorous."
Most authors who have writtên on cancer state that
simple wounds and uleers sometimes bccome the seat of
cancerous disease, and that the epithelial form of cancer
does frequently arise in the chronic ulcers thenaselves_
Now, what is the experience in regard to barsati 1 I
shall quote Mr. Hart, f who writes—"Simple sores and
galls, if neglected, are very apt to assurae barsatic
actión", which is the genaral experience of veterinary
surgeons in India. Writers on cancer lay great stress
on "induration of the sore" as specially distinguishing
cancer, a fact emphasised by those who have seen any-
thing of barsati before writing upon it. I. "V". S.
Oliphant,^! in charge of Hapur Stud, observes-: "From
rubbing or biting—for the sore is particularly itchy—
the crown of tho ufcer becomes violently detached,
leaving a moist, irritable. sore, the, base.- ofivhieh gpwdily
Iteeomes indurated."
Mr.'Hart, in his paper on barsati,
describes "an indurated base extonding to a depth of half

an inch or an inch." Another important feature of
barsati, is the presence in the sores of jjain or irritation
feit at different intervals. Mr. Hart writes, what must
be the experience of every one, that, "barsati sites,
though healed, are liable at any time to bscomo irritable
and to be gnawed by the horse; this act showing beyond
dispute that some irritative action is going on." This
pain is certainly considered very characteristic also of
huraan cancer, although it is not constant, or the patiënt
could not live, but comes on at intervals only.
A fact of some importance in the clinical history of
barsati is, absence of inflammation characterising the
sores. I. V. S. Meyrick, in a lecture delivered at the
Aldershot Military Veterinary School in 1881, said, tho
disease was "non-inflammatory" in its character; and
John Hunter, in 1828, wrote,—"True snppuration arises
from inflammation, terminating in a disposition to heal,
which is not the case with canc.er." This estimate in
relation to our observations on the character of the
lesions in barsati, is fully borne out by the history of
Imman cancer, which goes in confirmation of our views.
Dr. Mitchell observes, that "the absence of inflammation
throughout the entire course of the disease (cancer) ia
the general rule, though inflammation may and oc-
casionally does occur during its progress, but then as
an exception only." (p. 84). The sore ia barsati
in the early ttage, is, morecver, usuallv single, as in
cancer, rarely bccoming multiple until a late stage, and
seldom even then ; while the sores in j arasitic disease
are mostly multiple. The points of junction of skin
with mucous membrane, as well as parts exposed to
f riction, are most frequent sites of barsati ulceration.

Hence the favourite seats of barsati are seen to be the
angles of the mouth and the lips, which are liable to
irritation by the bit, <fec.; the inner aspect of the fetlocks,
more especially in horses given to habitual "brushing" ;
the prepuce; the lachrymal region, &c. The results of
operation have likewise proved most unsatisfactory in
the case of barsati as iu that of human cancer. I. V. S.
Oliphant* writes,—"The state of the system existing in
barsati is not one that indicates the use of the knife f
and Dr. Walshe says,—"Cancers which have become
quiescent have sometimos been cut out, and the opera-
tion been foliowed by rapid reproduction of the disease."
Dr. Cooke writes,—"Erom 1851 to the end of 1863, we
have had the opportunity of seeing at the Cancer
Hospital 413 persons who had been operated on for
cancer; and it will astonish the reader to be told that
the average lapso of time before the disease returned in
these cases was not more than six and a half months."\
The experience of veterinary-surgeons in India shows
that barsati sores which, under appropriate treatment,
gonerally subside about the end of September, re-develop
their activity next March, April or May.
Not a few cases of barsati become, after a shorter or
longer time, arrested and retrogressive, and, ultimately,
to all appearances, cured. These apparent cures are not
always permanent, but after intervals of six months, a
year, or more, a similar affection is started again, either
in the. same or in another part, or in both, when ifc
contaminates the interna-I organs, or becomes again

atrophic and is arrested : another striking resemblance
between it and the form öf human cancer known on the
continent óf Europeunder the name Atrophic Carcinonta.
Some pathologists call this iïecurrent* Fibroid, a vague
term applied to many different species. For a tumour to
be called fibroid it is not enough that it should contain
fibrous tissue : it must also contain no other tissue. A
fibrous matrix is common to nearly all tumours; and
barsati has a fibrous stroma wbich predominates in many
parts of its structure, but it always contains in its mesh-
work cellsj whereas true fibroids are composed solely
of fibrous tissue. Moreover, although the distinctions
of the various forms of cancer are useful and wise, and
practical, and founded on natüral laws, still there are
cases in which these different fornïs pass into each other,
and in which all these peculiarities may'ba seen affecting
the same patiënt. "These cases of combiuation", says
a recent writer on cancer, "are sufficiently rare to make
the distinctions valuable in practice, bot they at tho
same time show the common character of all these forms
ofdisease." Various other names have been given to
this form of cancer, as for example, contracting cancer,
cicatricial cancer, etc,
each of which indicates some pro-
minent feature of the disease. The cells, in this form of
the disease appear to be very short-lived, for they are
scarcely formed before they commence to decay (Billroth);
but peripherally tho slight cell-infiltration constantly
extends, hence complete disappearance of the diseaso
rarely, if ever, takes place. Some surgcons even object

to the term cancer being applied to epithelioma, but this
objection is not valid, being founded on mere physieal
differences of no importance.
Mr. Hart writes—"After an indefinite period of
immunity the disease (barsati) reappears." We know
the history of several cases in -which the disease rccurred
after a cessation of three years, and in one case, recently
treated, after a period of four years; whilst Hutchinson,
Professors Billroth, Buchannna, and Dr. Whitehead give
instances of immunity after operation and other modes
of treatment for cancer, extending to three, five, and
fifteen years in the Case of man.* The tcndency to
fibroid development in excess of cell fortnation is one of
the most potent agencies in giving respite, and, in some
cases, towards arrest and apparent cure of the disease.
In England it has been seen that nearly twice as many
females f all victims to cancer as males. In India this has
not been noticed in the case of barsati seen in animals. In
Victoria the differenee in the mortality between the two
sexes is but slight; for instance, the Lancet says, " The
mean annual death-rates to every 10,000 of each sex
living during the years 1861-1884 were as follows : in
England, males 3.78, females 6.92 ; in Victoria, males
4.28, females 4.52."
We have already shown that the presence of tubercle-
like uodules in bars&ti sores is diagnostic. And Dr. T.
Weeden Cooke, on the subject of cancer in man, on page
33, writes : " Jn many cases the incisions made for the
purpose of removing the diseased mass have scarcely
healed before 'tuberdes' have appcared around the cicatrix,

or the wound itself has taken on the diseased action."
Dr. Green* says : " The cells may be so closely packed
as ultimately to become hard and dry like those of nails
and hair, and the globes are then of a brownish-yellow
colour and of a firm consistence. These globes are often
large enough to be readily visible to the uaked-eye."
Professor Billroth considers the presenee of nodules in
tlie skin, vvhen numerous and well-characterised, diagnostie
of oue variety of cancer ho has specially studied in
Europc.
In their general histoiy, clinical and post-mortem char-
acteristics, eourse of derelopment, and in the nature and
extent of influence produciblo upon them bj trcatment,
barsati in the horse and cancer of man :u'3 identical.
Excepting perhaps the lesser fatality in herbivorous
animals noted by M. Lablanc, there is perhaps no fea-
ture of barsati which may not ba observcl in cases of
human cancer.
With regard to a question that has ariscn regarding
the fatality of ihis disease in the horso, it may be
well to mention that melanosis is very little more fata^
in the same animal, although it is so rapid in its effects
in man ; and yet melauotic sarcoma of the horse is only
ordinary sarcoma, but otherwise just as usual.
While we cannot expect to find exact resemblances—no
more thau we find them in human and bovine tuberculosis,
for example—I think much important data will be pre-
sented on a careful comparison of the leadiug character-
istics of barsati and cancer, pointing to tlicir identity ;
while any apparent difference may be expïained by the

differenoe in the conditions of species. Tbe difference
between man and the lower animals imparts to the tis-
sues the alterations in their molecular disposition to the
disease, which explains the differenoe in the virulence of
the disease in these patients. Besides which silica is
one of the substances which is found in the body, especi-
ally in the case of vegetable feedcrs ; and silica and other
salts assist in reducing tho death rate from cancer even
in man.
Professor Verneuil belicves, and M. Reclus has collect-
ed statistics to prove, that cancer was all but unknown
among persons whose food was exclusively vegetable. In
regard to barsati seen in our animala, may uot a vegeta-
ble diet similarly influence its rate of mortality ?
We have noticed that horscs fed on a starch diet (bran )
exclusively, make more rapid progress than others reoeiv-
iny much gram during an attack of barsati.
Sufficiënt attontion has not hitherto been given to the
question of food-supply as influencing the course of bar-
sati, which is capable of heilig greatly developed. The
preventive value of starch so far as it aifects the
course of human cancer, has been to a great extent re-
cognised, but no special measures have been uudcrtaken
to develop its significance, espccially in the case of vege-
table feeders.
It appears to me that in the study of malignant
growths there yet remains some interesting work to be
done in connection with those differences which depend
uron the peculiarity of species, or of constitutions, and
which influence the degree of malignancy in different
animals. We have seen that almost all varieties of
maglinant growths appearing in our animals run a
-ocr page 87-
"barsati"
[CHAP.
milder course than they do in man; and in the greater
proportion of simple wounds, this differenee lias been
also noted. Now, if this should be true in the case of
simple wounds seen in the lower animals, why should
it not be notieed in malignant growths 1 My observa*
tions lead me to believe that all malignant growths in
animals, except those seen in dogs, run a mueh milder
course, as a rule, titan they do in man. It is quite easy
to understand this when we recollect that the same
distinction has been noted in the behaviour of simple
wownds abovementioned. From these experiences we
draw the conclusion that cancer in herbivorous animals
is not generally so severe in its results as cancer in the
carnivora.
When we characterise slowness of diffusion as a pri-
mary feature of barsati, we are obviously rexerring not
to all cases, but to the general boliaviour of most of
them, and to the peculiarities of this disease in the main.
I would not omit to name in this connection, numerous
other cases where the chief feature of the disease is seen
in the severity of the lesions, and where there are
no intermissions, but the malady rapidly generalises
itself, often within a few months. These cases are
happily in the minority, and, compared with the former
class, comprise but a very small proportion of the cases
treated by the veterinarian. In other cases in which
diffusion is slow, ill-health is not remarkable until a
very late stage, and I do not think that an absolutely
normal temperature and fleshy condition in barsati is
any sign that the disease is not progressing. The

vation reveals sofliè vuriety in the structure of this

though rarely, an êxcess of cells approaching more to
tho characters of epithelial eancer, some of the cells be-
ing arranged eoncentriéally in places and thus forming
the well-known "epidefflial globes," or so-called kanker
nodnles of a barsati sótè. On the other hand, niany
intermediate examplés may be seen in an examination
of the sore during its different stages, ft is clëar that,
any nomenclature of this disease which is founded on
anatomical characters öftly, must necessarily be faulty,
if not misléading, and I have therefore proposed that
barsati should receive the designation, Atrophic Cancer.
We have found this designation, which is based on
general characters of some importance in the clinical
history of barsati, the most comprehensive, and therefore
the most correct one to employ.
CONTOTIOX OF THE GLAXDS.
The condition of the glands in barsati has been a
subject of much debate, and it seems to have been
pretty generally accepted that the glands werc ahvays
affected in cancer. Èxperience shows that the glands
-ocr page 89-
[CHAP,
"BABSATl"
83
are soldom enlargedin barsati unless ulceratiön is
pronounced, as in some cases we have lately
recorded. ( The Veterinarian, Jany., 1885.,) Dr,
Wilks agrees with us on this point in reference
to cancer in the hunian subject. ( Pathological
Anatomy,
2nd Ed.) Dr. Campbell de Morgan says, that
" the reason why the neighbouring lymphatic glands are
so seldom implicated in the epithelial variety and oftener
in the encephaloid, or soft cancer is explained by the
difference in their histological constitution". ( Med. Times
and Gazette,
7 March, 1874.) Paget says, that " the
lymphatics are upon the average not affected until the
disease bas passed through half its period of existence "
which, in man, is computed at two years. ( Burgwal Pa-
thology.)
Dr. Bastian says, " the neighbouring glands
become affected in cancer just as they do where simple
inflammations exist". ( Brit. Med. Journal, 7 Oct., 1871.)
Dr. Mitchell considers " that the lymphatics shonld not
be specially mentioned in deiining cancer ". ( Treatise on
Cancer Life,
1879, p. 79.) Mr. Hutchinson says, "tho
glands are seldom affected in Thiersch's cancer". (Clinical
Surgery.)
EECUEEIKG NATURE.
It is not at all unlikely that some of us have the op-
portunity of seeing this disoase, in our equine patients,
at an earlier stage than others generally see it; and sent
as these patients are for treatment after repeated recur-
rences, we rarely have an opportunity of testing tho
precise value of many vaunted remedies during its differ-
ent stages. Experience luis shown that recurrence of

barsati is not confined to the wet weather. It remains
to bc aeknowledgedj however, that though this is the
case, yet, the disease having once established itself, its
return in locoAs rendered probably more certain during
the rains than in any other season. The fact itself, wö
niay observe, appears inexplicable to many who recognise
it as such, but its causes are, notwithstanding, capablo
of explanation ; for, as Dr. Moxon* has observed, mois-
tureintervenes, together withthe other unfavourable influ-
encesof accompany ing heat, etc, during wet weather, which
augment cell-growth in cancer structures. The effect of
moisture in the atmosphere during the rains, therefore,
is an increase of cell-activity and a general accoleration
of all the worst accompaniments ef barsati.
It has constantly been assumed that the term barsati
implies the occurrence of this disease is limited to wet
weather, or that moisture favours its development. As
a matter of fact, we know that moisture is a condition
favourable in the extreme to the growth of human cancer;
while the malignancy of the disease, when it is once
developed, is greatly aggravated by moisture, as is easy
to understand. For, "the malignancy of epitheliomaf
is greatly influenced by physical conditions, being more
pronounced in proportion to the moisture, vascularity
and amovmt of movement in the part." As regards its
recurrence during the rains justifying the name of bar-
sati, we observe a great tendency of prevalence of aU
forms of skin disease during wet Aveather in India, the

frequency of whieh is simply the effect of normal aetiyity
of the skin. We further know that simple Sounds
are subject to the same law in India, in consequence of
the peculiar state of the atmosphere, during the wet
season, telling injuriously on diseased and injured tissues.
It is said that recession of the sores is peculiar to bar-
sati only, but I am not enabled to endorsc this opinion.
It is well known that alternate cessations and reeuwen-
ces of the sores characterise human cancer quite as much
as they do barsati. Dr. Campbell de Morgan, F. R. 8.,
writes* : " A remarkable and not very explicable phenom-
enon is the arrest of cancer growth and the gradual
wasting of the diseased mass. The activity of the whole
mass is arrested, new cells cease to be f'ormed, and the
tumom' fades—a widely spread mass becoming quiescent
and then fading throughout its whole ex-tent.
It shifts
the difficulty back a stage or two to snggest that the
recession of cancer takes place in obedience to the law
under which local atrophy, independent of inflammation
or disease, may occur; or that it may be due to somo
want of organising power inherent in it from the first,
as soma cancers seem born to be atropfiic. It is, under
any circumstances, a most important subject for investi-
gation."
From the foregoing remarks it must not be concluded,
however, that the period of respite due to atropine
change, is an invariable feature of barsati. Not by any
■means has such been found to be the case in our experi-
ence of this diseaso; for, it is usually noticed in the
milder cases only, where constitutional symptoms are

also absent; whereas it is not at all uncommon to see
sores existing before and persisting throughout the
winter as well as during the summer. In many cases
the diseaso runs its destructive course in a few months.
Had our knowledge of cases ended when the disease first
showed signs of local arrestation, we should have been
compelled to adopt the prevalent theory of reported
cures ; but fortunatoly our cases have gone further, and
in too many instances revealed the nature of our pana-
ceas Nothing is more common than for a gradual
breaking up of the constitution to be suddenly notioed
when the disease has reached a certain stage.
NECROPSÏ.
Inasmuch as 'kankers' are perhaps the most noticeable
morbid changs found in the internal organs, we may
begin with a consideration of them, and describe the
other changes afterwards.
(a) 'kankers.'—They are found in the lymphatic
glands, in the lungs, liver, spleen and other organs. In
the lattor, they may be either deoply imbedded, or seated
superficially on the surface and on fibrous and mucous
coverings. They are both discrete and confluent, are of
various sizes, shapes and fbrms, and of different consis-
tency during different stages of development. Some of
the youngest, seen on the surface of the lungs, appear
slightly depressed in the centre, giving the surrounding
pleura a peculiar puckered appearance. Those older in the
stage of development, are harder to the feel, have an
irregular outline and, when seated on the pleura, .are
slightly raised above the surface of the lungs and

surrounded by a zone of fibrous or cirrhotic tissue." Hista
logically, these kankers differ in no respect from similar
kankers found in the sores externally seated. In some
places they produce, by conflunce, characteristic "lumps'
in the substance of organs, but particularly in that of
the lungs. The irritant which produces barsafci nodules
in remote structuros is merely a tissue irritant derived
from the external sore, and acts embolically ; the casea"
tion that sometimos follows is a mishap due to insuffi-
ciënt blood-strpply ; while the.later chango of calcification
is due to infiltration of this structure with iuorganic
salts. Caseation of a barsati nodule takes place general-
ly as a result of complicity with othcr products and from
insufficiënt nutriment, which accounts for the infrequen-
cy with which yellow nodules are here met with ; and in
this respect the disoase ditTers in an important particular
from tuborculosis. It is commoner, as experience shows,
to meet with the grey formations, and those which have
undergone that physical variatiqn by transformation into
a horny mass, called cornification, or by infiltration with
inorganic salts into 'womb-stones' or kankers.
(b) consolidation.—Many protions of the lungs under-
go consolidation, the result of catarrhal inflammation,
and produce, what may be called, a peculiar cloudy
degeneration, due to the air-vesicles being occluded with
catarrhal products, in which may be seen numerous
large, polygonal or hexagonal cells having ovoid nuclei
and many nucleoli. The air septa are also the seat of
a dense infiltration by numerous small cells. Ausculta-
tion over parts of the chest corresponding to such portions
of the lungs shows loss of murmur of the normal sounds
of the lungs, during life. The consolidation is frequently

a result of fibroid change in many advanced
Dulness is sometimes, but not always, detected, because
frequently the surrounding lung is super-resonant frora
emphysema. Gradually the lungs become more and more
extensively involved, and the signs, as well as the
symptoms, are not to be distinguished from those of any
other chronic lung affection.
(c)  the pleura.—Is the seat of important and mark-
ed changes in the advanced cases of this disease. It
loses its normal transparency, becomes rough to the feel,
and cloudy in appearance, and is thickened and adherent
to the subjacent lung-tissue. In specimens steeped in
alcohol, this is beautifully shown, the pleura being raised
into distinct rugce.
(d)  false bronchi.—Small cavities appear on section
of the lungs resembling true bronchi, but which on
inspection are found to be cavities emptied of kanker,
and indicate the seat of kankers which have been dislodg-
ed in the act of sectioning. True dilatation of the
bronchi may be seen in many long-standing cases of
barsati, due to cirrhosis : the cirrhotic tissue eontracting,
pulls the bronchi open on principles well recognised.
(e)  emphysema.—When any portion of the lungs is
Consolidated, the adjacent parts take on increased or
excessive action, one of the results of which is emphysema,
the amount of which will always be regulated by the
amount of consolidation present in any given case.
(ƒ) phlebectasis.—Or a dilated, corded condition of
the blood-vessels of the lungs, generally of the sub-
pleural vessels, also results in a few cases, from com-
pensatory action.
No suppurative changes are usually noticed in any üf

MOBFHOLOGY OF KANKEB.
What is genérally termed 'kanker1 in barsati, is not
kanker properly so-called, but isa produetofdisease,apell-
concretion in fact, either with or without calcareous
deposition; for, there are two kinds of kanker, namely
(«) soft, or fatty or caseous, and (b) hard, or calcareous
kanker. When tliey are present in the sores tliey are
considered characteristic) but'they may be occasionally
present only in small numbers, or be altogether absent
in some cases. Tliey may, and do occur also in the
internal organs, during the latter stages of this disease.
Billroth, of Viènna, in describing one form of human
c'ancer he lias speoially studiöd, says, in respect to these
cöncretions, that wberi they are numerous and well
characterised, they are diagnostic. There is no doubt
that, in hot climates in partieular, their formation is
expedited 'by the process of clesiccation. We have
noticed similar formations in the eruptions of hórse-pox,
which I described in the Veterinarian of 1884, and in
ether diséases meiitioned in my work on Veterinary
Surgical Pathology published lately.
The characteristic dispositiön of the celk in certain
Tarieties of cancer, to settle themselves in concentric
layers, makes an opportunity for the calcareous deposi-
tion taking place in them to eönvert them into conspicu-
óüs globular bodies—risible nodules. Beyond exhibiting
tho properties of a foreign body, liowever, kanker does
not play the dire part of the cells not similarly eircum-
scribed by calcareous deposition, but which, imbued with
-ocr page 96-

the change peculiar to cancer, work hidden havoe by
their pronounced tendency to infiltration of the adjacent
tissues, and to oonstitutional invasioü through the process
of normal absorption earried on by the veins and
lyniphatics.
Microscopic examination of kankers reveals the fact
*hat they consist of neither bone elements, as held by
veterinary'surgeon "Western; nor scrofula cells, as
contended by veterinary-surgeon Hodgson; nor inspis-
sated pus, as believed by veterinary-surgeon Phillips ;
for, we have no record of any microscopic examination
in respect of either of the aforenamed theories, but
merely a belief, aniounting to hypothesis, has hitherto
been expressed in regard thereto. A fourth view is held
by Mr. Meyrick*, who found crystals of uric acid and
oxalate of lime, and various other crystals have been
described by different writers. Questions have been
introduced during this controversy as to the occurrence
of specifically shaped crystals in kanker. We do not
think that "specificity" in the shape of crystals indicates
aught else than that particular salts very constantly
predominate in these kankers in consequence of their
presence in the blood; but, then, we are also aware 'that
the blood of different animals yields, in its natural state,
varioTis shaped crystals; and the occurrence, thorefore, of
crystals of this or that shape adds but little to the
pathological information on the subject of which we are
already possessed, it being a concomitant of health, or,
in other words, a purely physiological product and un-
connected with the process of disease. We must there-

fore conelude, that pigmentary matter aud crystal forms
met with in barsati concretions, are simply the products
of normal blood, and indicate prior extravasation.
To examine the above theories more in detail:
(a)  Veterinary-surgeon Hodgson contended that
kanker was made up of scrofula cells, and that during
one or other of its stages of development it underwent
fatty change. TJndoubtedly right as this theory is in
stating kanker to be subject to fatty change, it is as un-
doubtedly wrong in stating kanker to be made up of
scrofula cells.
(b)  Veterinary-surgeon Phillips, as surgeon and clin-
ïcal observer, maintained that kankers were so many
little pellets of inspissated pus. Mr. Phillips makes no
mention of any microscopic examination, and we would
remark that, once it was the general opiuion
that the nodules in tuberculosis were also simply masses
of inspissated pus ; but the development of histo-pathol-
ogy has dissipated that view. And so we make no
doubt that Mr. Phillips, imbued with this idea, readily
feil into the belief that the kankers in barsati sores were,
in the same manner, simply masses of inspissated pus.
But, masses of inspissated pus are discriminated from
among their counterfeits through the circumstanoe of
their possessing no distinct intercellular substance or
fibrous matrix. Those who have examined a kanker
nodule during its various stages of development know
that, in addition to containing celluïar elements, it is
possessed of an abundant intercellular substance or fibrous
matrix, among other things, depending on the stage of
development during which the kanker is subjected to
examination.

(c) Veterinary-surgeon Western maintained that
these bodies wer« so raany centres of independent
osseous development. We are, however, unable to
ooneur in this view, not having seen any such present-
ment under the microscope in our examinations into the
nature-of these disease-products. Mr. Western in com-
ing to the above conclusion has chosen to adopt the röle
of a mere physicist. He has brought himself to the
maintaining of this because of the fact that these bodies
were hard to the feel, brittle, and chipping when struck
by metal, &c,—properties that very naturally engage
the primary attention of physicists. We know that
osseous change may, and does take place during certain
morbid developments, but we cannot say we have found
it do so in kanker in the examinations we have made
of it; while the brittleness and hardness are demonstrably
due to chemical changes occurring in it during its
progressive stages of development.
DIAGNOSIS.
We will now direct our attention to the differences
that exist between barsati and those other morbid pro-
ducts which in some measure simulate it, 'and are not in-
frequently mistaken for it by those who are not skilled
in the diagnosis of these diseases. The diseases with
which barsati may be confounded are rodent ulcer,
Delhi-boil or lupus, keloid or chakdwur,* and ich-
thyosis. The important difference between barsati and
the latter is their limited diffusibility as compared with
* The Veterinarian, March 1S85.

barsati. They spread slowly and only continüously into
the surrounding1 tissues, and their course is free from any
generation of secondary disease in internal organs and
distant tissues which characterises genuine barsati. It
is this restrictedness which marks the course of all these
diseases, and makes their distinction from barsati both
possible and comparatively easy ; while physical differen-
ces, together with a microscopical examination, should
settle the decision in case of doubt. From lupus the
disease is generally easily distinguishable. Lupus has
seldom the hard base which always characterises a bar-
sati sore. It leaves a larger scar; does not contaminate
the system; and while the centre of the sore may be
showing signs of repair, the circumference still spreads
on. In all these features it is quite distinct from barsati.
In keloid the induration is by no means so markod as
jn barsati, neither is it of that inelastic character which
indicates true barsati. In keloid, connectie tissue
bands are deposited into wedges in the substance of the
corium, and completely supplant it, which is not the case
with barsati. Keloid is found generally upon some part
of the trunk. Ichthyosis has its seat always on the lips,
and is characterised by special clinical features. The
character of the scab is no less important. It is invari-
ably thick in ichthyosis ; in barsati it is usually slight.
The less extent of surface usually implicated, and the
absence of any intervening constitutional disorder mako
it easy to distinguish ichthyosis from barsati. There is
a capacity for internal disease always present in barsati
that is absent in ichthyosis. In barsati the local and
constitutional morbid changes intensify pari passu.
Doubtless analogies are presented by comparison with
-ocr page 100-

the milder cases of barsati in which no constitutional
symptoms have been developed; but the comparison
wonld appear erroneous beside typieal cases of that most
destructive disease, which nevef fails to involve the inter-
nal organs during its latter stages, as-shown by numer-
ous post mortom examinations we have made. For a
more detailed description of these diseases, I must refer
the reader to my work on Veterinary Surgical Pathology.
PATHOLOGY.
The analogy between the features of barsati and those
of human cancer naturally led to the supposition that
some specific parasite may be the cause of the former as
it has been lately suggested in the case of the latter.
It would be rash to say that such & mode of causation
is impossibie, but at present no such parasite has been
demonstrated in the case of human cancer, and little or
no evidence has been given pointing to the probability
of there being any connection between those parasites
which have been noted and the growth of cancer itself.
It is exactly one of those cases in which the difference
between the presence of special and accidental parasites
must be clearly undorstood, for it is highly probable
that micro-parasites of various species may be present in
cancer sores. Adherents of the parasitic theory point
to barsati being most frequent in parts to which water
is often employed, and which they suppose is the medium
of contagion. Water applied to the mouth, eyes, limbs,
etc, may very probably have been noticed to cause the
disease in liorscs owned by natives and others who use
water for cleaning their animals, but under a good stablc

9i                                     "BABSATl"                                 [CHAP.
system such a practice ought not to exist, and surely
does not exist in regimental horses. Nor could such a
cause be assigned for the prevalence of the disease in the
case of horses belonging to the Government studs, where
the use of water for cleaning purposes was strictly pro-
hibited; and yet, barsati was as prevalent in these as in
other horses. As regards the second reason assigned for
water proving a medium of contagion for the parasites we
are not aware of any clear and conclusive evidence whieh
shows that barsati is inoculable, if parasites are to be
looked upon as the active agents concerned in its develop-
ment. Many attempts have been made during the last
thirty years to produce the disease by inoculation in
healthy animals, but the attempt has always been a
failure. The most unsatisfactory part of the parasitio
theory of barsati is that which treats of parasites as the
cause of this disease, when inoculations have no effect in
producing any similar disease.
The main interest in this f act lies in the illustration it
affords of the similarity shown between this disease and
caucer occurring in man. This view of its causation
corrcsponds exactly to the germ theory of the causation
of cancer, though recent experiments in Berlin had eon-
firmed the observation that it was impossible by the
methods at present employed to cultivate any sort of
organism from cancerous tumours. Further, at a recent
meeting of the Pathological Society of London, the Presi-
dent, Sir James Paget, desired to state that the number of
cases recorded of cancer propagated by contact was so
small that it was almost coincidental. He had "never
seen cancer of the tongue infect the cheek, nor cancer
of the lower lip infect the upper, nor did cancer of the

lower eye-lid produce disease of the contiguous side of
the nest. These negative instanees predominate so
immensely over the few positive cases that we are driven
to conclude", says Sir James, "that the latter were mere
coincidences."
                                                                ■ )
There is 110 doubt but that the aetion of many so-called
pathogenic fungi, if present in barsati sores, produces
a kind of inflammatory change which in many cases
aggravates the actual disease process, leading to suppura-
tion, abscess and other results of acute inflammation,
especially noticed in susceptible animals. But amplo
objections to the fungus, as a causative agent, may bo
gathered from its advocates. Mr. Smith, who has lately
written on the subject, states : That he has noted the
presence of a fungus described by Mr. Collins in. barsati
sores, which he believes is a cause of the latter. Thia
is nowhere proved. Next, as to the effects of inocula-
tion : That in soveral attempts at inoculation the disease
could not beproduced, except in a single instance where
the auimal was doubtless already the subject of that
disease before the inoculation was practised. Then,
as to the species of fungus concerned : Various
kinds of parasitic life have been described in barsati
sores, but no one kind has been shown to be universally
present by any of the observers. Where so many
different sorts of fungi exist to explain the causation of
barsati, it seems unneeessary to imagine a fungal origin
of thia disease. It is confessed further by all authorities,
that all diseases, like barsati, if due to a parasite, readily
occur on inoculation, especially when every opportunity
has boen allowed to test the point in daily practice.

Sore', or Lupus Undemicus, 1876), of Calcutta, have already
shown how, similarly, the growth of fungi in Delhi-boil
may occur as the result of the tissues being stecpod
in chromic acid and chromate of potash solutions.
Quite recently Dr. Fenwick (Lancet, 1885), has found
that in tissues hardened in a four per cent. solution of
coeain, a peculair mould fungus always develops, whose
presence is accidental and due entirely to the process
of hardening the tissue. Parasitic organisms frequently
develop also in specimens stained in carmine solutions.*
Warden and Waddell ('The Non-parasitic Nature of
Arbus Poison',
Calcutta, 1884)have recently experiment-
ed with the arbus poison. Hypodermic injections were
made,mainly on cats and fowls, in order to determine
whethcr a gcneral parasitic condition was necessarily asso-
ciated with the toxic action of the seeds. From the general
results of their expcriments the authors concludc that
the presence of organisms at the seat of injection is
purcly accidental, and that these develop from the air
after the injection. ProfessorPonfick (Virchow's Arehiv,
1881) has demonstrated that organisms of various kinds
are always present in tissues after the injection of tur.
pèntine and some other chemical irritants. The appear-
ance of organisms .in some cases may be ascribed to the
possibly imperfect removal of them from the liquids
used, or to the circumstance that, by their mechanical
injury to the tissues, the power of resistance was lowered,
which allowed the growth of the organisms.
It is remarkable that a series of inoculation experi-
nients—scarifications and hypodermic and intravenous

injections, coridücted by myself aa wëll as by other
Veterinary surgëons, shoiüd have been foliowed by no
results, either local ör constitutional. Indeed, judged
by the verdict of common experience, the disease cannot
be communicated, and is therefore not contagious.
If the analogy of parasitie action holds good hetgeen
cancer of man and barsati in the horse, we must assutne
that in e~very instance the disease has been "caught.''
Büt experience proves this to be correct in respect of
neither. Thus, Dr. Wilks says,—-"Cancer cannot be in-
ocvtlated ; it does not run a dennite course ; and, indeed,
has no qualities which deserve it to be considered as
foreign to the organism of the body;" and all attempts
hitherto made to communicate barsati to healthy animals
have been attended by similar failures. Neither the
human nor the equine form of the disease can be inocu-
lated. I lay stress on this point, as I find observers on
both sides pointingto exceptional oases of success attend-
ing their inoculation experiments. It is possible that
there may exist an actual diseased state of system not
yet developed, and where by local irritation in the
attempt to inoculate with the discharge a nidus may be
formed for the actual development of the disease, but
then only as any other local irritant.
Allowing, therefore, for the sake of argument, that
we have found a new method of injection, which
pröduces barsati growths in healthy animals, does this
prove that thé parasites which have been descrïbed are
the caiise of barsati growths 1 I>o we not know of connec-
tive tissue corpuscles, as altered in disease, producing degen-

"barsatt
Fox, and many other good authorities? Do we not
know of similar corpuscles detected by Dr. Flemming in
Delhi-Boil, and whieh were also inoculable ?
In the leading medioal and veterinary periodicals the
discussion on the infectiveness of cancer, and its depend-
ence upon some specific organism—lately stated to be
a bacillus—is more full of interest than ever, and helps
only to explain the faots already known to us. Whatever
may be the ultimate answer to the question of the ori->
gin of cancer, the important part played in its causation
by the condition of the tissue of the part will remain
unaffected.
The Lancet of Dec. 3, 1887, says,—"Should a cancer
germ be demonstrated, its harmlessness, except in a
suitable nidus very specially prepared for its growth, is
undoubted; and the discovery will have but little
influence on the views now held on the heredity of the
disease and other similar poirits. Our columns have
recently contained many letters on the question of the
contagiousness of cancer, and no doubt the view that i*
is contagious will gain somewhat from the stress now
laid upon its probable infeotive nature. Where its con-
tagiousness proved, that would carry with it the fact
of its being an infective disease. But we must say that
the evidence in favour of its being contagious is far
short of proof."
The Lancet of March 17, 1888, says,—"The arguments
in favour of cancer being infectious were based upon
the mode of its dissemination through the body, the
occurrence of cases of acute miliary cancei-, the superven-
tion of cancer on chronic cutaneous irritation, and,
lcss convincingly, upon the occasional occurrence of

'cancer by contact.' At the same time, the fact that the
secondary growths reproduce the characters of the
primary within tissues of wholly different nature formed
a marked distinction from those infective tumours that
are ascribed to the action of bactorial organisms. In
tuberculosis and actinomycosis (we might add syphilis)
the tumpur is composed of indifferent cells, which are
homologous with the elements (conneetive tissue) in
which they occur. In fact, there is no instance known
of a bacterium giving rise to heteroplastic growths—i. e.
composed of cells dissimilar to those oecurring at t'ae
seat of infection. The cancer microbe, if such there be,
must then be intimately associated with the cancer cell
or its nucleus, a relation which would therein differ from
what is ordinarily believed to exist botween the cell and
the microbe. The problem is rendered more diffieult
from the fact that hitherto cancer has never been
successfully inoculated upon the lower animals. We
all know how the inoculability of tubercle was proved
long before the bacillus tuberculosis was discovered ; and
the failure of such experimonts with respect to cancer
affords additional evidence of the difference between
tubercle and cancer as regards their respective degrees
of infectivity. As to Scheurlen's bacillus, Dr. Senger
repeated the experiments upon which that discovery was
made, making numerous cultures of portions of cancerous
tumours upon various media without obtaining a micro-
organism which could be recognised as speciflc; he
proved satisfactorily that the bacillus of Scheurlen was
due to the potato upon which the culture was made."
The question of the parasitic origin of barsati must
still be considered in an unproved state, the difficulties

in the way of investigation being great, owing to the
fact that in diseased States of the external parts of the
body which are exposed to the air, parasites of various
kinds are found in abundance, and it is only by the
isolation of these parasites and thoir cultivation in a
pure state, that an attempt can be made to judge whether
they are present as the cause of the disease, or only there,
as doubtless most of them are, as a result of the diseased
state, affording favourable conditions for their growth.
It has been saki that no fewer than half a dozen different
specimens of parasites have been figured in the descrip-
tions given of barsati in the past, and several observers
have laid claim to have discovered a 'barsatic parasite.'
Dr. Thin, of London, whose investigations niay be consi-
dered reliable, and are published in the Veterinary Jour-
nal
of Sept., 1879, found no parasites in kankers heexam-
ined from a case of barsati. The parasites rnay be ex-
onerated from being the cause of barsati by the fact that
they are often absent in this disease and frequently
present in many simple wounds we have examined in
India during the rains, and therefore may be regarded
as accidental; and when inoculated on other animals,
they do not produce a disease even resemHing it. It
seems, therefore, in this important respect, that barsati,
though showing the presence of parasites on external
sores, does not follow the usual law of contagious
diseases, of being contagious in the most susceptible
animals. A large number of exprements have been made
by me on horses, ponies and dogs, with fresh matter from
barsati growths, and no results were produced. The
fact therefore is shown that though, like other sores, para-
sites are freely spread over a barsati surface, yet this is

the result of some agency which favours parasitio
development in external sores, so that the power of com-
municability which, accurately speaking, should be found
is not found as a matter of experience.
Mr. Smith alone has succeeded,* after experiencing
raany failures,t in inoculating barsati from one animal
the subject of it to another that was not. And if we
review the general experience in regard to experiments
in this direction concerning both cancer of man and as
it occurs in the horse, we find that the results of such
experience differ in respect of neither. An experiment
of Professor Langenbeck was supposed to have proved
that the cancerous pulp containing the cancer cells is
capable of propagating cancer in man and animals on
being injected into the veins, but the attempt has been
frequently made by otliers withovit any result. So in
regard to barsati; excepting the above instance, all
other experiments by other veterinary surgeons have
uniformly failed to produce the disease, although enough
experiments have now been made in this direction.
The fact that the disease can be induced by inoculation,
moreover, does not prove that the cause of the disease is
derived from without the body, since the very cells of
the body themselves, as changed in disease, can be trans-
plauted from body to body and induce furunculoid and
ulcerative mischief; in other words, there is nothing in
the aspect of the disease itself, nor in the facts of the
inoculated disease, to show that its cause is very likely
to be parasitio. A direct transmission of barsati has

been proved impossible; and it by no means follows
that one or two exceptional successes which are recorded
were entirely due to the inoculations, and were not de-
veloped in the ordinary course of things, seeing that
simple wounds in India so often terminate in barsati.
I do not wish to say anything in discouragement of
experiments, seeing that I ha^e probably tried inocula-
tions on as mauy animals myself j bat individual results
shonld include general results. It is also probable that
constitutional predisposition, as from previous attacks of
the disease, when present, may favour the success of an
inoculation. We must at present explain differently the
connection between such successes and the causation of
the disease under consideration. We, at any rate,
know that the accumulated experionce of veterinarians
of thirty odd years shows that experiment in this direc-
tion is by no means isolated, but is one of a series,
many of which have been published in the pages of our
professional journals. We may study Mr. Smith's
success from two points of view, as showing the influence
of constitutional tendency upon local disease processes,
and the influence of local irritation upon general consti-
tutional states. It is known that in a very large number
of cases where simple wounds have been seen to be
foliowed by barsati sores, the constitution of the animal
was at fault, as shown by the history of many cases.
Although the actually demonstrable lesions of this
disease appear to travel from local to systemic centres,
there is yet every reasonable probability tbat coustitu
tional tendency, especially if favoured by climatic causes,
may be the starting point of genuine barsdti. The local
manifestations may be regarded as expressions of a
-ocr page 110-

general dyscrasia; and an animal which from an injury
or irritation gets indubitable barsati may be held to be
predisposed from causes latent in the system, which may
appear healthy or even produee such results on the body
as may be designated for the time "robust."
In coutagious disease we think of a previous case of that
disease from which it has been derived, with a certainty.
In barsati, we have neverseen a case in which we feit
this certainty.
Many obscrvers agree in stating that barsati sores are
very liable tö be immediately developed in the seats of
abrasions, and that small sores take on in India a fungous
or ulcerative character like barsati sores. Mr. Hart
speaks of this as occurring commonly during the rains
in connection with the wounds and galls of the horse.
Mr. Armstrong* notiees the same thing. And we have
only recently recorded several similar instances. The
parts attacked are those most exposed to injuries or irri-
tation : example, angles of the mouth, the lachrymal
region, the prepuce, inner aspect of the fetlocks, &c.
Thus, the continued irritation of tears over the lachrymal
surface, or of secretions within the prepuce, or of the
bit against the angles of the mouth of the horse, has
been observed to be foliowed by the occurrence of barsati
in these parts in such a number of cases as to justify tho
inference that it has been the starting point of the disease.
We have seen that during the rains a barsati sore
generally becomes greatly aggravated and does not heal
up under ordinary dressings. We recognise that wet

weather favours the growth and increases the malignancy
of a barsati sore, hut we know that the progress of a
simple sore is influenced in likemanner during such
weather. The opinion I venture to express is that this
rlisturbing factor is dampness of the air, cansing tissue
metamorphosis and interference with the reparative
process. Excess of moisture present in the air makes
the protoplasm of the ccll elements swell up, and ultimate-
ly become disintegraded. If. this be so, we may infer that,
wherc the influence of the healing process in simplo
wonnds is upsetbv local causes, structural changes in a
barsati sore may be presumod to follow on the prineiplo
that the growth of an organic diseaso is similarly promoted
by exposure to an atmosphere of opposed conditions.
Thus it will be seen that so far as influence of
season is concemed, aggravation of a barsati sore in the
rains may be viewed as a result of moisture that has
led to very appreciable structural or organic alteration.
It appears to me incorrect, therefore, to refer this
disease to parasitic action, as has hitherto been tradi-
tionally done. Any change in the nomenclature of
disease which is made without due consideration of facts
of clinical medicine and pathology must surely hiuder
acouracy in diagnosis, and is therefore to be deprecated.
We must combine in our study of this disease experi-
mental and clinical research to explain its pathology, and
define the proper course to be adopted in its treatment.
In this way may be added much to our knowledge of
the disease. During recent years greater liberty is
taken in the parasitic theory of barsati but the charac-
tcristics of the disease itsolf have been entirely overlook-
ed. No fact in modern voterinary litcrature is more

reïnarkablé than the absence of all mention of the other1
departments in the history of disease. The present
tendency is, perhaps, to exaggerate the influence of
microbes, to take effeets for causes, and ascribe to their
ageucy almost every disease. The state of the tissue of
the part itself is, unfortunartely, not éxplained; but we
may regard it as proved thati a barsati growth is made
up of the elements of the part, having undergonë changes
in their character; and that thë living animal is an
aggregate of living particles or cells, each of which is
lïable to changes in ita character depending upbn changes
occurring in the parent organism; and we may further
assume that as the constitution of the parent organism
is disturbed, it is shared by the tissues, and manifëstëd
under local irritation, formihg imperfect states, and being
thus convërted from a healthy to a disease condition. This
change we may fairly impute to irritation, especially
when we consider that barsati is remarkably eomfflon
in parts liable to irritation. It causes unusual prolifera-
tion, with consequences dependent on greatër or les3
perfection of the process of nutrition. Some of the cells
of the body retain their natural characteristics; others,
however, change their nature altogether, their structure
and mode of growth alter, and thèy glve origin to abnór^
mal tissue—e. g. cancer, sarcoma, and other] growths.
Uskoff, Ponfick, Dra. Burdon Sandersón, Béale, Bënnett
and others many years ago rejected an exclusively
vegetable theory of morbid processes, which has not been
controverted, and the idea of many normal cells capable
of mödificatión into thé vafious forhis of diséasé prödue-
ifig particles, cotnniends itself at once as a view likeïy to

as well as iuductive physiologists, patliologists and
clinicians.
The teachings of Huxley, "Virohow, Uskoff and other3
show that the theory of susceptibility and phlogogenoua
action of cell upon cell is not all nonsense; it is only out
of fashion, because many, at the present time, know of
no "infective" process other than that by germs and
fungi. Dr. Wilks writes, "It is now known that a
variety of morbid growths may be produced in the
tissues, and that between the one which is styled cancer
and that which is identical with healthy material, all
grades may exist. They are but modifications of normal
tissues, show only altered nutrition, and can by no
means be regarded as foreign to the system."
Dr. Beale writes, "When the germinal matter of the
epithelial cells of certain mucous membranes, or that of
other tissues of the body, or the germinal matter of the
white corpuscles, lives faster than in health, in conse-
quence of being supplied with an undue proportion of
mutrient material, it grows and multiplies to an enor-
mous extent. Many epithelial formations exhibit much
the same changes in disease, and the gradual transition
from the healthy and the morbid state is beautifully
illustrated. Nay, we may almost conceive that it is by
unremitting continuance of this very process, combined
with irregularity in the rate of multiplication of conti-
guous particles, that the remarkable pathological forma-
tion—epithelial cancer—results."
Walshe, after giving his view of the enlargement of a
cancerous tumour, says, "Microscopical examination
has shown that some primary cells contain within
them the nuclei of a second generation of bodies similar
-ocr page 114-
ÏV.]                       OE ATËOPHIC CARCINOMA.                        107
to themselves, which are in their turn gifted with a
similar procreative faculty. Colloid caricer exemplifies
this condition of encasement. The mode of enlargement
here is manifestly endogenous—a single cell may be
regarded as the possible embryo of an entire tumour.
In the endogenous system of growth the primary
generation of cells appoars to be all important, in fact
to involve the subsequent and gradual production of a
tumour, beeause they contain within them the elements
of developraent ad infinitum. But there is another
condition necessary, and this is the direct supply of
blastema for the nourishment of the rapidly germinating
cells. If this supply from the parent organism be cut
off, germination must eease on the axiom, ex nihilo
nihil fit.
This is the capital faet lost sight of by those
who style cancer a fungus endowed with independent
life."
Professor Huxley says, "It is only in pathology that
we find any approximation to true zenogenesis (tho
generation of something foreign). From such innocent
productions as corns and warts there are all gradations
to more serious tumours, and in the terrible structures
known as cancers the new growth has acquired powers
of reproduction and multiplication."
The anatomical elements of cancer are known to
have no special and peculiar characteristics, and they
are believed to be as easily derivable from pre-existing
tissues as are other morbid growths.
There is one important group of diseases requiring
careful inquiry in veterinary pathology, namely malig-
nant growths. To study such conditions as cancer,
sarcoma, etc, as they occur in animals, and compare

them with the corresponding diseases in man, and then
demonstrate the ideiitity by close observation, is the
highest class of work in pathology, and the work of the
future. Indeed, the careful observations of the oom-
parative pathologist have shown up diseases of animals
as a new and attractive field of research. Able authori-
ties have repeatedly shown that the lower animal was
liable to suffer from every form of malignant growth
seen in man. The essential object of future investiga-
tors is to detertnine the" importance of a comparative
study of this disease in all its phases. With increased
experience this line of inquiry will doubtless be encour-
aged ; still it is satisfactory to learn from the writings
of leading medical men a direct advocacy of the compar-
ative study of disease.
THKATMENT.
Many observers exalt special remedies in the treatment
of barsati, and as usual, each produces a list of cures in
favour of his favourite application. Further evidence
of the difficulty of settling this point is afforded by
general experience, which disproves the utility of these
cures, and shows that their benefits have been overesti-
mated. It is now proved that it is impossible to influ-
ence the course of barsati by recourse to any number of
acknowledged parasiticides which have been recommend-
ed; and I have myself tried, in numerous cases, local
applications of caustic potash, nitrate of silver, chloride
of zine, chlorate of potash,* sulphate of copper, of iron

and zinc, salicylate of soda, salicylic,* nitric, sulphuric,
acetic and oarbolic acids, myrrh, aloes, camphor, alum,
sulphur, &c, without effect. Iodirie and sulphuroüa
acid injections have been latterly triod by me in many
private cases, with equally useless results. Mr. T.
Marriott, a, v. d., speaks very highly of the results of
treatment by iodoform. Very extensive barsati growths
c-n the fetlocks and lower lip and angles of the mouth
have been gradually destroyed by caustics foliowed by
iodoform drcssings, and a healthy cicatrix has been
obtained. How long an immunity from this disease has
been secured, it wöuld be difficult to say; but at any
rate it is a eonsiderable gain to have óvercome, even for
a time, the unsightly and ever-increasing out-growth,
and to have thüs early relieved the animal from pain,
and returned him to duty. Calomel and biniodidè of
mercury were largely employed In the Government
studs some years ago, bilt with no better results than
any of the above-mentioned. Carbolic acid, when well
diluted, has the effect of cleaning the surface ; but when
in strong solution, undoubtedly aggravates the growth
in many cases. For the purpose of removing discharges
from the surface, and keeping the sore free from smell,
I neyer employ a stronger solution than 1 part in 20
parts of water, for the reasons above stated. lts efücacy,
however, is no greater than that of most other agénts in
common employment. Mr. John Henry Steel, a. v. d.,
recommends the iodide of arsenic oihtment (1-6J as a
useful application, to caüse a slough. The use of the
actual cautery and of the knife is in every' case eonti-a-

indicated, as it generally increases the activity of the
growth. Thus we have tried every remedy, and during
every stage of this disease, with the same negati-ve
results. At the risk of appearing tautological I would
add one other remark upon these operations by the knife,
aotual eautery and caustic agents. "Be quite sure that
you remove all the induration, or you will do misohief
instead of good<" I might give a long list of "successful
cases," such as are frequently recorded in the veterinary
journals ; but as I know from experience such cases have
returned for treatraent after they had been passed as
"cured," I set no value on such temporary successes, and
look upon them as mere compromises, which advancing
knowledge will enable practitioners to discard, for a
more radical and permanently successful treatment. So
long as we continue to look upon barsati as a mere local
disease, so long shall we fail to effect more than a tem-
porary recovery.
Where barsati is indolent, it is wise not to attempt
Hs removal by the knife or by any caustic applications.
Such indolence or arrested growth in an external sora
is sometimes coincident with its internal development.
Inspecting veterinary-surgeon Oliphant says,—" The
state of the system existing in barsati is not such as
indicates the use of the knife." Dr. Walshe, after
condemnipg operation for the relief of human cancer,
quotes Dr. Macfarlane, who "could adduce the case of
several patients who had laboured under cancer for ten,
fifteen, and twenty years, who were cut off in three or
four months by an operation."

the animal, which should be early supported by appro-
priate medicinal remedies. The results of this combined
treatment will be generally found to be more satisfactory,
although how long an immnnity from this disease may
thus be secured in all cases I am unable to say, hut at
any rate it is found to be a cohsiderable improvement
on the local treatment only, and affords better hope of
restoring the patiënt to work and keeping him out of
sick-lines long after others have been admitted with a
locally recurrent disease of aggravated character. I know
from early experience that it is no good " patching up"
a case and returning to duty, which comes back in a few
months \Vith considerable constitutional disturbance. I
know of no specific remedies that will averfc the
constitutional derangement, but would recommend the
system to be supported on general principles by the
administration of both vegetable and mineral tonics, but
especially by iron and arsenic in large doses. Any of
the preparations of phosphorus might also prove useful.
The influenee of phosphorus and arsenic on the general
nutrition is analogous to their influenee on the nutrition
of the skin and subcutaneous tissues, which is seen in
the case of many skin affections.
Our search for agents to neutralise and destroy this
disease in its local aspeots should lie in the direction of
those which shut it up, or encase it, is it were, by
hardening its cells. The subcutaneous injection of
medicines promises the most likely means of doing this.
The best agent which will effect this is chromic acid,
which in the field of the microscope is seen, even in a
solution as dilute as one part in a thousand of water,

hardening and enclosing the nuclei, closing tip their
walls, and so preventing the diffusion of their contents.
Professor Billroth's use of this agent as subcutaneous
injection in lymphoma of the human subject, giveS
encouragement to tlie trial of the same in equine barsati.
Professor Trinchera,* of the Naples Veterinary School,
believes he has cured cancer of the penis and scrotum
in the carnivora, by early operation, the wound being
dressed with chlorate of potash. Malthe recommends
combining iodoform with nitrate of silver as a caustic
and healing application in all chronic ulcers. The ulcer^
ated surface is sprinkled with iodoform, on which the
nitrate of silver is next applied, and on this again
iodoform. A brisk effervescence of nitrous acid and
insoluble iodine and chloride of silver results. This
may be emplóyed with much benefit in barst\ti ulcera-
tion of not long duration, and Where the subcutaneous
tissues have not been deeply implicated.
The above remedies have been prescribed by me in
many cases with good results, where constitutional
disease was not already far advanced. No one remedy
can be éxpected to produce a cure, and this alone illus-
trates the absurdity of the dogma, that any "specific"
can eradicate a general 'disëase by treating its local
manifestations only.
I have given the above summary with the view of
furnishing a general experieiice in regard to results of
different modes of treatment in different cases. Most
of the remedies mentioned have been tried by me as well

as otlier practitioners, in the treatment of this disease. I
have, however, to say something further of certain
preventives which have not been described before, and
which come under the flrst category in the preceding
summary. Those cases in which the sore has apparently
been of short duration may be much benefited by a
change of climate to the hills. Those in which the
constitution is severely involved may derive temporary
benefit by a similar change. But in some cases the
result is disappointment: the" local disease persists and
grows in spite of all treatment, and sometimes fresh
ulceration takes place in an already healed cicatrix, so
that the treatment of barsati must be considered only
palliative in kind. When the disease has been suppressed
by the abovenamed means a relapse is rendered less
certain if the animal is kopt on a strictly starchy diet.
It would appear that high feeding and higher organ-
ization is, in a measure unfavourable to reparative
work. We can quite conceive that the steady, regular
processes upon which it depends are less likely to proceed
in an orderly and uninterrupted manner under condi-
tions of high excitability, where stimulus easily engenders
disorder, than under lower functional activity and less
susceptible circumstances. Herein, possibly—namely
in the greater excitability of their tissues—may be found
an explanation of the reasons why cancer changes should
be as a rule more pronounced in highly-fed animals, as
the carnivora, than in herbivorous animals, and of which
it is practically important that we should take due account.
PROGNÖSIS.
In giving a prognosis we labour under a vory great

disadvantage, since we do not generally know when tlie
disease eommenced, because our patients cannot speak,
and their owners frequently cannot assist us. This ia
singularly unfortunate, as it compels us to consider
cases in rolation to the possible local gravity measurod
merely from apparent symptoms, which is a much less
satisfactory guide than the date 'of first attack, for the
duration of cases is of the utmost importance in questions
of prognosis,
I am in the habit of saymg, if an animal is brought
before me with a barsati sore, and there be no history
of recurrence, that the oase will bo relieved early; if
there be the history of a sinj>le recurrence, less early ;
ïf of many, and presenting constitutional changes, never.
This is not sufficiently insisted on by veteiïnary-surgeons
xn giving opinions on cases of barsati; recovery usually
takes place readily under good treatment, and the case
is probably ' discharged "cured" in the books, but the
veterinarian rarely has the opportunity of knowing how
long or how short is the immunity from disease he has
conferred on his patiënt. Haviug had the opportunity
of watching the progress of several cases of this kind for
two, and in some instances three years, I think I am
justified in giving always a guarded opinion from the
commencement of this disease, owing to the difficulty of
foretelling the probable course of each case. Although
re-appearance of barsati is the rule, it does not follow
that suoh is the invariable result, for we find in practice
a number of cases in which the animals were f ree from
the disease for two years, and in some for a longer term,
without a single unfavourable symptom. Occasionally
recurrence has been attributed to the animal biting an

old barsati cicatrix. There is every röason to believe
that recurrence is a pretty constant feature of the disease.
Absorbed into the system the cancer clements become
increasingly accumulated, and with the accumulations
the proportionate liabilities to local recurrence. Their
histories run parallel. And though the question of early
and thorough removal of local disease to preserve the
patiënt from recurrence is important, it is obvious that
110 proof of its ütility can be given, since veterinarians
rarely have an opportunity of witnessing many cases
of this disease in its early stages, the majority of
animals being brought for treatment in ft recurrent state,
ïherc is generally very little to be done in the way
of curative treatment when once the animal lias entered
on this stage of chronic barsati; but so long as he can
be kept at work without suffering obvious pain, it is
always worth while to persist in the use of both internal
remedies and local applications; a rather free use of the
remedies afore-named is advisablë. I do not say that
such cases will be "cured," with absolute immunity for
the future, but the relief afforded may be sufficiënt to
allow the animal to be worked for a much longer term,
and with greater certainty than when left to chance
without any treatment. Albeit, it is never safe to allow
these remedies to be used in unskilled hands, because
their too free use seems often to liasten the progress of
the disease. As soon as local disease has subsided, one
must still direct his attention to the removal of the
disease from the system ; for barsati is not one of those
diseases the elimination of which we can assist by local
applications only. I have patched up many cases of
barsati, in the main by local applications. For instance,

in those subjeets where the disease was of short duratio»,
slow of growth, and where the general systom was not
affected. It is quite true that some cases require more
energetic treatment than others. but there are very few
horses whose condition does not begin to suffer, if they
are not treated early in the local stage of this disease.
The eauses of derangemonts of the wind from which
horses so frequently suffer are so numerous that their
owners pay no attention to them, and it may happen
also that barsati of the lungs shall attain a vory advanced
stage without any prominent symptoms to cause its
presenoe to be suspeeted. There are, in fact, strong,
"vigorous" horses, appearing to possess all the features
of perfect health, and performing their daily amount
of work,—whether in the saddle or in harness,—with
apparent ease, in which barsati has taken deep root,
and in which tracts of the lungs are couverted into mere
fibroid tissue, and studded with numerous kankers, in
which all power of respiration has ceased. We have seen
several cases of this kind, aud recorded some, of which
examinations were made post mortem, in the Veterinarian.
In our prognosis we have clearly to consider, then,
whether, in many cases, there has not been barsati
occurring at a period anterior to our examination, the
history of which may or may not be forthcoming in
every case. I cannot call to mind a single instance of
extensive local disease without some evidence of the inter-
nal organs having been invaded as well. But the
patiënt is very often restored to such a degree of apparent
good health, and so far relieved from external disease
tor a time, that the owner is satisfied with the result,
and neglects any further treatment, until a fresh
-ocr page 124-

recurrence takes place. By these means we have not
thoroughly cured the patiënt, but have only given
temporary relief, and the disease may at any time return.
We cannot always reckon upon such opportunities as
were afibrded in the case of stallions kept permanently in
the studsj or in that of horses having history sheets, as
in the service; and, in the absence of that knowledge,
our prognosis must rest partly upon the history of the
case furnished by the owner, but chiefly upon the results
of our own examination of the patiënt.
We are not assured that barsati is hereditary in its
character. Oolonel McDougal, Superintendent of central
Government studs, tried to show from statistics that it
was so. A safe practical conclusion to arrive at is,
that all stallions which have suffered from this disease,
although temporarily recovered from it, should be castrat-
ed, and brood mares similarly affected be disposed of
by auction sale : they should not be retained for breed-
ing purposes.

From the earliest times the above disease has been
describod as an enzootic affection, and internal remedies
were prcscribed. Spinola and other writers considered
the cause to be some constitutional defect. Haubner
attributed it to digestive derangements, and others
again thought it was due to the itch-scab. Recently
Haselbach has observed it in ten per cent. of the whole
of the Polish horses, and he regards it as a special affec-
tion of the hair, attended by an adhesive discharge.
Formerly, a false and a true variety were described,
which led to great confusion. "It is proved conclusively,"
say Professors Friedberger and Fröhner "to owe its
origin simply to penetration of dirt, grit, lice, etc, into
the hair-roots,"
The disease, although long recognised in the human
subject, has only recently attracted notice in the lower
animals, and does not find a place in the new nomencla-
ture of diseases issued for guidance of ve,terinary officers
in India. Since my observations were published in my
Aimual Veterinary Report of 1883, and the Yeterinary
Journal,
1884, yeterinary surgeons have described this
affectipn as more or less prevalent throughout India, but
especially during the hot weather, when the function pf
the skin is found to be normally active and in a manner
predisposed to disease.
It has npt, I think, been settled whether the terra
khoojlee is, or is »pt, properly defined; but we under
stand that there is no restriction here : it is used in a
general sense, and applies to every form of skin disease
which is attended with itching. If this is the case, it ia

under consideration goes by that name. In this chapter,
we will invite our readers' attention to the subject of
tropical pityriasis, or so-called "khoojlee" of the horse.
In practice veterinary oificers have sometimes to rely on
the nomenclature suggested by salootries and others in
India, but the natives are not accustomed to name
diseases according to scientific principles, and are thus
not quite at home with Europeans as instructors in
native disease.
Some veterinarians appear to be stirred over the ques-
tion of a proper name for this, the most prevalent form
of skin disease afFecting the horse in India. The
necessity for such a name will be apparent; but some
are exercised over the special designation, preferring
the term "eczema" to pityriasis suggested by ourselves.
I need not, therefore, re-state my reasons for considering
this disease to be quite distinct from eczema, except
that a prevalent use of this term "eczema" in England
gives it special importance, where the occurrence of
pityriasis appears to be infrequent, if not rare in
the horse.
It js possible that India is a special habitat of the
disease, and especially so in the hot weather, when the
function of the skin is normally aetive, which sometimes
causes the disease to assume an enzootic form. It is
moreover important to note that this discase is chiefly
-ocr page 128-

confined to the more hairy parts, or parts fairly covered
by hair; for instanee, it never spreads to the tmder
surface of the tail, althouglï it attacks every other
portion of it suppliecl with long hair. The disease,
moreover, originates in small papules, the cutiolo
covering which dies from insufficiënt nutriment and
desquamates in small, bran-like scales, and is attended
with heat and corisiderable itching. There is no dis-
charge present in this disease, "nor vesicatiön as in
eczema. Röll says,—"In this skin disease the epidermis
peals off in small scales like those of bran. The disease
attacks the horse principally on the head, on thé sides of
the neck, along the course of the marie and root of tail, but
occasionally all over the body. In cattle it attacks the
whole surface of the body, and leads to changes in the
structure of the skin." From excessive rubbing, for the
parts attacked are particularly itchy, the exudation of
^seram, or of pus-like fhrid may take place on the surface
of the skin, which, though not a special feature of the
disease, is a frequent accompaniment of it, and is one
reason why the disease has been so often mistaken for
eczema. Pityriasis, moreover, selects for its attack the
parts covered with longest hair, even in man (Tanner's
Praclice of Medicine, art. "Skin Disease"), which is
what might be written in regard to the disease seen in
the horse, and to which the common designation of
'mane-and-tail disease' has been given, owing to the
mane and tail being the parts most commonly affected.
Again, the exudation may cause the scales to adhere
together, forming larger scales; hence the liability of
the disease, in its latter stages, to be mistaken for
psoriasis, from which it is distinct.

STMPTOMS.
Small papules are noticed to develop theinselves along
the crest and about the root of the tail, on its dorsal
aspect, and in due course free desquamation of the
cuticle ensues about each papule, from which minute»
white scales are regularly shed; and we have thus
eventually produced a surface of renewed desquamation,
attended by fresh developments and increasing irritation,
with its results : extension of the process into the corium
and subcutaiiéoüs coiinective tissue, which are sometimes
also implicated, öwing to seüondary inflammation. The
latter is oiily a complication, however, aiid furïrishes no
clue to the solution of the true pathological change
found set up, which is, in its inceptiön, distinctly
superficial in character and amenable to proper treatment.
A prominent, and not the least troublesome feature of
the disease is prurigo, which causes the subjects of it to
rub themselves violently against adjacent articles, pro-
ducing secondary symptoms of inflammation,—heat, pain,
swelling, abscess, and sometimes also permanent indura-
tion of the skin. The crüsts, which are at first small,
scaly, and transparent, become, during the latter stages
of the disease, larger, more opaque, and even adherent
from admixture with inflammatory products. The hair
also becoming involved and matted together, soon fall
off, which is especially noticeable along the course of the
mane and tail, in the latter situation producing the
condition commonly known as 'rat's tail.' Owing to
the presence of long hair about these parts, the disease
frequently escapes detection in the early stages, it being
seldom noticed uutil, through rubbing, changes in the

hair-papillse and hair take place. The lattér becomes at
first thinner, curly looking, and, owing to its thinness
and irregularity, allows more freely of the passage of
di-rt and filth of all kinds, which gives rise to iniamma-
tory changes leading to depilation of the hair, and sclerosiss
ete. Where the disease has become chronic, the hair
generally assumesa coarse appearanee.
RESULTS.
I have seen so raany cases of this disease each summer
foa? several years, that I feel warranted in giving a, strong
opinion that any treatment to be useful should be ea.rly
applied, otherwise the disease tends to assume a chronic
type, and will tben prove rather troublesome : sclerosis
of the skin and snbjacent connective tissue may follow
as a remote termination, and more particularly perma-
nent induration of the crest, which is often produced
as a result of certain heroic methóds of treatment iu
vogue, and in a certain percentage of cases proves at
least of diagnostic value and hevalds an attack of the
disorder in the following year. 2. One of the results
of its action on the hair is evidenced in an undue
coarseness of that appendage, which Js speoially
cbaracteristic of this disease. 3. Another remote,
though not infrequent result is an apparent greyness
of the hair noticeable in small spots along the course of
the affected skin. These latter changes are, we have
seen, depende-nt on inflammatio», causing irritation of
the hair-bulbs. 4. It cannot be too strongly urged that
recurrence in many cases also depends, to a very large
extent indeed, upoH how they were first dealt with.

Climate acts as a direct ëxcitihg and predispösing
cnuse, as in the hot weathéf in India when the kidneys
are inactive and the skin suffers frotn hyperserhia due to
compensatory actioh. It is clear that climate has amore
of less direct influéncë upoh thé pfevalence óf this disease,
which appéafs only duriiig the hot weathef and rarely
in the winter, and is pfactically unkiiówn or irifrequent
in colder climatés, as in England, where vetërinary
snrgeons seldom witness it, at least as a prevalent disease
in the horse. It is not sUrprising, seeihg that the hot
weather is a predispösing caüse of skin disease in India,
to find that a niücb larger propoftion, if not all of the
horses are attacked düririg the Slimmer ; and it may be
here noted that the special liability of horses to be affect-
ed by skin disease in India is not fóund to obtain in
othef parts of the world, and must be due to local causes.
2. A consideration of the locality of the disease brings
forth Sörne facts which may become of some practical
importance. lil nlore than half the cases we have seen
the worst were those we met with on the plains, and more
cömmonly in a hot station than in any other. Again,
in only a small propoftion of the cases seen in cooler
stations, in hilly districts, was the disease severe, or
the ratio of simple to aggravated cases was about ten
to one.
A similar resul t has been noted by others. I have
carefully oxamined the register of sick animals at several

stations in India, and found hot stations were those in
which the largest number of admissions were noted frora
this disease.
3.   .Natural dampness of the air, as during the rains in
India, which causes maoeration of the epidermis and
affects normal secretion of the skin.
4.   Local irritation connected with improper grooming,
collection of dirt, of lice and ticks, etc.
5.  Constitutionaltendency.—The liability to the disease
in previous jears promotes the tendenoy to it, and in
such animals the disease may be said to be constitutional.
In many cases the animals suffer from a state of disease
which is truly chronic, as shown by the veterinary history
sheets.
6.  Defeotive action of the correlated organs, leading
to hypersemia of the skin : hence over-feoding, excess of
water taken during the hot weather, etc, throw extra
work on the skin and lead to disease.
7.   High feeding.—The question of high feeding as
a cause of disease is not only intercsting but impor-
tant. I will only remark upon it that the greatei11
the amount of nitrogenous food given to animals, and
the greater the work thrown upon the eliminatory
organs, the greater the liability to disease. If the
function of the kidneys, etc., lias to be taken up by the
skin during the hot weather in India, high feeding only
increases liability to disease, and precautious should be
taken for its prevention.
PATIIOLOGICAL ANATOMY.

never implicates the cutis vera deeply, until the parts
are rubbed by the animal in consequence of extreme
prurigo, when subcutaneous effusions and other inflam-
matory lesions leading to various changes in the struc-
ture of the skin, develop as a secondary process, but
quite distinct from the primary disease—changes in and
around the hair follicles, such as have been described by
Dr. George Thin,* of London, and notedby us in several
cases we have examined, may then be detected, together
with other changes associated with the derma, leading
to depilation of the hair, to sclerosis, etc, which may be
seen commonly characterising the latter stages of the
affection. But, in order to arrive lat its correct pathology
examinations should be made of the skin, more especially
in an early stage of the disease, so as to recoguise the
specific lesions, which, so far as my own examinations
lead me to say, consist mainly in cell proliferation con-
fined principally to the deeper layers of the epidermis.
This proliferation is doubtless a result of some constitu-
tional irritation, which explains the consequent desquam-
ation and shedding of the cuticle in small scales, due
to improper nutrition, and which is so important a feature
in this disease. When the parts are violently rubbed
by the animal, or if irritant dressings have been used,
then changes in structure may be detected in any part
of the skin on microscopical examination; thus, changes
in the corium, in the hair follicles and sebaceous glands,
and in the subcutaneous connective tissue take place as
the result of irritation, and may be characterised as
hypertrophic. The disease examined generally shows

TIÏËATMENT.
Pityfiasis in the hoi'sö would seem a Comparatively
trivial ailment in Éngland, which under ordinary cir-
cufnstances soou gets well, but in the sanie class of
patients out in India it sets up a disease of skin which
ahnest defies treatment for several nioiiths in the year.

uncured, by any looal application, but which readily
recover by the internal administration of remedies and,
as I have found, local blistering over the kidneys. In
the treatment of chronic cases I have found nothing
to equal the value of local blistering over the region of
the kidneys. This treatment has been foliowed by rapid
rccovery in several cases, when all local applications to
the skin, and the internal administration of medicines
had failed. It probably acts in two ways, viz., first,
by rousing the kidneys to increased action, promoting
diuresis aud relieving hyperaemia of the skin; and,
secondly, by directly stimulating the nervöus system
through its action on the spinal oord, and the good
effects produced on the skin may be purely of neurotic
origin. I do not consider it necessary or prudent to
have recourse to blistering in every case of skin disease
as a routine treatment, but adopt it in neglected and
chronic cases only.
Combined with local blistering over the kidneys, the
internal administration of strophanthus in chronic affec-
tion of the skin of the horse proves very useful, because,
as a diuretic, it is probably second to no other agent
with which we are acquainted in practice, or which is
more rapid in its action than strophanthus given in the
form of tincture in repeated doses.
Among the local applications employed in the treat-
ment of this disease, I may mention those of petroleum
and cheerpine oil, which have proved most efficaceous
in my hands; and, in a minor degree, kerosine oil. We
may be quite sure that the good effects produced by these
agents are dependent upon some product of tar present
iii them, which is so ben,eficial in skin disease in general.

"kenchüli;" oh, pitybiasis bubra,
I do not exaggerate when I say that the animals
suffering from this disease are found covered from head
to föot by One mass of scales, having the appearance
óf a 'crocodile's coat.' The disease begins in hypersemia
and desquamation of the cuticle, notably over the region
of the back and thoracic walls, thence rapidly sdreads
in all directions, till the eritire body, even to the skin of
the coronets, is finally invaded, leaving perhaps a small
patch of skin under the abdomen and that between the
thighs unattacked. Thé cuticle, along with the hair
and inflammatory débris, comes away in large scales,
probably as large as any we have noticed on the back of
the largest kind of fish, and which they somewhat
resenible. The main feature of the disease is intense
surface heat, foliowed by recurring desquamation.
The presence of the heat, then, and notably the
character of the scales, when these begin to come off,
are diagnostic of this affection in the horse. Notwith-
standing the large extent of surface usually implicated

in this disease, it seldom or never, in my experience of
this class of cases, proceeds to the extent of causing
disease clianges in the corium or still deeper tissues, but
always confines itself to the epi-skin only. There is no
thickening or induration of the skin below the scales, as
observed in eczema and other inflammatory disorders,
but the whole process seems to take its origin in or
follow a state of simple congestion superfloially pronounc-
cd, which induces excessive development of the cuticle,
resulting in the scales described.
Finally, in my experience, the disease appears to be
chronic, or even incurable in the large majority of cases,
as tliose noted by me latterly, including others seen
before, have bafled treatment; and very little more
tlian palliative remedies can be suggested in similor
cases. In the early stage of the disease I am disposed
to thiuk tl)at,sedative lotions are alone effective in con^
iining its spread. The disease is easily distributed over
the whole qf the body ; and yfhen this is the case, it is
exceedingly unfortunate, for nothing I know of from
experience has any power in checking its course.
Applications of lead seemed in some cases to afford
partial relief, but even this I find is only transient in
its cfiects, as beyond allaying a little heat in the part,
I cannot say it exercises any curative or at all permanent
ii)fluence over the disease.
Accompanying the disease of the skin in some cases
there is also noticed intense congestion of the conjunc-
tival and buccal-mucous membrane, the former becom-
ing cedematous and appearing as if it were the index
of some low type of fever from which the patiënt
suffered, with a hot mouth, scauty and higli-coloured urine>

"PIT H-K H A K I S H"' j OR, HEPATIC PRÜHIGO.
In the human subject the terms kJidrish, khdrisht and
khujli are applied to scabies or iteh only ; but this arises
from a belief common among natives, that the skin was
liable to but one form of disease, as they eannot distin-
guish one from another, except ringworm which is called
ddd or dinnd-eh. The terms kharish and khujli literally
denote the occurrence of itching, and as such may be
employed in the case of any disease of the skin in wkich
itching is a symptom. I need hardly point out, that
a symptom which is common to so many diseases should
be qualifiedwith a prefix, or better perhaps some explana-
*ion of the disease it is intended to represent. The term
khujli signifies, then, itching. It is in reality the samo
thing as pruritus described by English authors—a symp-
tom, in fact, of many diseases—a disease wholly different
from true scabies. It is most unfortunate that practi-
tioners in human medicine in India should have employed
the term khujli to describe this disease. Theterm khujli,
or kharish is now appropriated by general consent to sig-
nify, according to the original use for which it was
-ocr page 142-
135          "pith-kharish" ob hepatic pkueigö.         vu.]
doubtless intended, a disease of skin which is characteris-
ed by itching as its most prominent symptom.
There is a peculiar form of prurigo in the horse,
common to the wet season in India, as I must obserre,
the etiology of which does not seem to be generally
understood, but is easily explained, I think, by what is
seen to follow the mode of treatment adopted in these
cases. I have prescribed large and alternate doses of
calomel, muriatic acid, and sal-ammoniac, with the
best results, which leads me to conclude that this
affection—in the horse, at least—is sometimes referable
to retention of the biliary acids in the system, due
to imperfect bilification. Symptoms : Itching is among
the first symptoms noticeable, particularly in parts
previously injured or diseased; instance: brand-marks
about the neck, on the shoulders, barrel, gluteum, etc.);
the vessels of the skin become congested; there is
present some amount of heat, snpersensitiveness, etc,
foliowed by effusion into the corium, which is either
removed by absorption if early treated, or terminates, as
it sometimes goes on to pus formation, in abscess, and
finally bursts giving rise to troublesome ulcers. A fre-
quent accompaniment of this disorder is pallidity of
the mucous membranes, and also loss of appetite, im-
paired digestion, ftfitor and discoloration of the fseces, etc-
symptoms indicative of biliary derangement.

"chaeak"; ob, leüoodbbma.
Partial leucoderma, in which the pigment is absent in
small points over the skin of the face and other regions
of the horse, is common enough, although this, like the
preceding, has not been recognised by veterinary authors;
but general leucoderma, so far as I know, has only once
been met with, in the horse that is. And I do not here
allude to "piebald states" noticed so commonly in horsesi
from which it is distinct. The loss of pigmentation in
the true disease, is assooiated with loss of sensation in
the part, and even loss of hair, noticeable in patches—
having the appearance of a "pig's skin," minus the redness,
which it closely resembles. Moreover, the 'piebald'
colour iu horses is a congenital condition, having its origin
in utero ; leucoderma is a disease developed in after-life of
the animal, which often recedes, leaving the skin normal
for a time, when it may recur. Thus, I know of large
blotches of the skin on the face of horses, and in other
situations where the skin is less protected, developed in
the summer, entirely disappearing in some cases during

the winter, and again appearing on the approach of the
following summer. The conclusion is—and it is the
conclusion also of Dr. Tilbury Fox, probably the greatest
writer on skin diseases of his day in any country
—has the heat any infiuence on this abnormal pigmenta-
tion in the skin? In the present state of our
knowledge of the pathology of this disease, an answer to
the question would amount to mere surmise.
The disease is seen principally in chestnut horses and
sometimes in bays. There is an entire absence of any
discharge, vesication, or pustulation, throughout its whole
course. It afï'ects, by preference, certain parts of the
skin whose epithelium is thin, as the muzzle, below the
eyes, inside the thighs, etc, but is gradually generalised.
I have prescribed arsenic and iron, with local friction
in this disease, with some benefit.

"KORHIj" O E, MOBPHffiA.
I have next to consider a disease which is sotnetimes
found in association with the leucoderma just described,
viz., nlorphoea. It is important to note that in leuco-
derma the eolour only is altered, due to deficiency of
pigment in the affected parts, but there is no deposit
in, or any structural alteration of the skin. This
disease is not a mere discoloration, but is caused
by a waxy deposit in the skin, leading to changes
in its structure. The affected skin becomes hyper-
trophied, ansesthetic, and hairless in large patches.
These discoloured ansaesthetic spots have led to the
disease being called leprosy, or korhi by the natives, but
it is not settled whether true leprosy is seen in the horse.
The morphcea of the horse I have described is a local
disease entirely, and never leads to degenerations com-
mon in leprosy. But perhaps there are undeveloped
forms of leprosy, and doubtless there may be cases of
discoloration, amesthesia, and depilation of the hair
in patches,without ulceration and tubercular depopits,
-ocr page 146-
139                                     "KOKIIl"                                  OHAP.]
especially when occurring in districts wliere leprosy ia
met with, whioli time will show to be instances of abort-
ed leprosy in the horse. The mueous surfaces also suffer,
and 'roaring' is sometimes present. Damp and humidi-
ty, poor feeding, imperfect grooming, filth, and uuhealthy
surroundings, are conditious favouring the development
of korhi. The natives are strongly impressed with the
conviction that it is contagious.
As to the cause of the disease the natives believe that
the use of the arhar dal (cytisus cajan), a leguminous seed
widely cultivated throughout India, is capable of giving
rise to something like leprosy, when consumed for any
leugthened period. Some of the natives eat it constantly,
and theiinal results are "urticaria,* a sense of heat in the
stomach, redness of the mueous surface of the mouth,
bronzing of the skin, sponginess of the gums, burning of
the hands and feet, dryness, harshness, and cracking of
the same pavts, rheumatic pains, white spots indicating
a leprous taint about the bpdy, and lastly, confirmed
leprosy." I have seen it in horses owned by nativea and
others which were fed on diseased maize; and we know
that a form of leprosy in the human subject, ealled
'pellagra' is also caused by eating ergoted maize.
Another dai, the lathyrus sativus, we have shown
in a former chapter, induces kamri, or paraplegia.
How far the use of dal may be the cause of leprosy
requires further investigation. But it must be recolleot-
ed, after all, that jeprosy may result not from the opera-
tion of any actual poison in climate or in diet, bufc
negatively from the absence in the diet of certain

prinoiples, such as nitrogen and potash, and that it is
accelerated by bad sanitary arrangements.
The ineans for remedying this condition are self-evï-
dent, the cutaneous changes caliing for early removal of
the anirnal to a better locality, combined with good
cleaning, and change of diet. But over and above this,
it is possible to thwart, by local applications of strong
carbolio liniment and internal administration of iodide
of potash, liquor arsenicalis and sulphate of iron, the
spread of the disease to other parts of the body and to
still deeper structures of the skin.

"chibeh"; o e, pimphigüs*.
The ancients, as well as many mediseval hakeems and
baids of various denominations in India, attributed this
malady to some great perturb?tion of the system, some
general ehange, whereof "chiber" is but a local manifes-
tation. The subject has often been handled by veteri-
nary surgeons in India, but nothing definite regarding
it has ever been suggested; and such names as herpes,
mange, grease, etc, indicate the nature of views held in
regard to its pathology.
Many believe that it is entirely a local disease, but
some authorities contend that a disease havinga tendency
to run a chronic course in so many cases, cannot be con-
sidered local in character, and must' therefore be classed
among the general diseases.
My view of the subject is that the variation in the
stages of the disease itself, is some excuse for the vari-
ety of opinion as to its pathology which obtains in the
profession in India.

The disease prevails especially in the rains, and during
the winter months, when heavy dews fall, whieh bathe
the animal's legs when turned to grass. Pretty extensive
inquiries made in various parts of the country have
failed to show the existence of the disease during other
seasons or in dry weather.
As to the nature of the morbid change, the most
reasonable view seems to be that it is the result of some
local irritant entering the tissues through chinks in the
epidermis, which spends its action on the neighbouring
structures, without ever 'producing any constitutional
symptoms. As there is nothing else tó account for the
production of these cases, the condition of the grounds
over which the horses have been exereised, or let loose,
seems the most natural source to look to, and as men-
tioned above, the dew and moisture about the roots of
the grass have been shown to produoe this disease in
many cases, which leaves not the shadow of a doubt as
to its mode of origin.
Priedberger and Pröhner have observedthat on accormt
of the wet and cold, this disease especially prevails during
the winter in G-ermany. Prietsehe* has found that this
disease prevails also as a result of sprinkling salt on the
tramway lines during winter months. Straubf has re-
corded the occurrence of "traumatic eczema" in these
parts liable to chiber, noticed in army horses which were
exereised over recently-cut fields, which resembled more
a form of infectious inflammation of the skin than simple
eczema. This form of disease resembled somewhat the

ordinary "mauke" described by the Germans, and was
characterised by a great number of small ulcers on the
skin, which were foliowed, in aggravated cases, by
erysipelas and phlegmonous inflammation of the skin.
This infectious dermatitis does not, whether in the
German or Indiau forms of the disease, occur as a rule,
except when the eruptions burst, or cracks take place in
the skin from accidental causes, allowing access to septic
matters.
Röll, Friedberger u. Fröhner, Anacker, and others'
describe this disease under the name of "mauke," which
they consider to be a form of specific eczema. They
notice that the practice of cutting the tuft of hair
from the back of the fetlocks in coarse-bred horses,
observed in European countries, especially deprives
natural protection of the parts, and frequently leads to
this disease. Mr. Meyrick,* i. v. g., says,—"The long
dewy grass perpetually brushing against the coronets
when the horses walk, would, of course, wet the front
more than the back of the foot, and the evaporation,
by producing a reaction, might bring on inflammation
of the skin and other symptoms of chiber." Friedber-
ger u. Fröhner say,—"The hind feet, beingmore exposed
to the irritating action of damp, filthy standings, are
generally more subject to this disease ;" and veterinary
surgeons in India have observed the same fact.
The disease appears chiefly, in India, in horses brought
in from damp fields, and their legs allowed to remain
wet for long intervals, or imperfectly rubbed dry from

neglect or carelessness on the part of syces. Simply
rubbing the legs dry does not prevent the disease : they
should be thoroughly washed before rubbing them dry
with a oloth, Washing in stagnant rain water, obtained
from ditches along road sides, also produces this disease.
ETTOLQGY.
The disease may be defined as a special form of neurosis*
of the blood-vessels of the skin, attended by loss of tone
and more or less inflammatory disturbance, foliowed by
exudation of serum, which infiltrates the structures of
the skin, and raises the epidermis in blisters. The
blisters contain at first simple serum, which, later on,
becomes purulent, or sero-purulent in character, contain-
ing pus cells, probably due to migration of white blood
cells and prolifcration of the retei Bacteria sometimes,
though not constantly, appear in the contents of the
vesicles. The blisters finally brust, and a watery-yellow,
at first odourless liquid, finally becoming purulent or
sero-purulent in characher, flows (stadium madidcms.)
The swollen skin, by the moveinent of its thick folds
from effusion, cracks during the animal's progression,
and contractions set in. The cracks in many cases take
on inflammatory action, and in a short time again become
covered by a scab, causing a matting together of the
hair and depilation. In some cases a peculiar fluid
oozes from the affected skin, dryingupinto thin, varnish-
like crusts. The surface becomes, after a time, covered
with hairless skin, so hard and dense that it resembles

frog-liarn (pemphigus foliaceus). The dissase then
assumes an entirely liew aspect.
"During its latter stages," say Professors Priedberger
n. Fröhner, "a peeuliar running from the surface of the
skin may be notieed, which bathes the epidermis. As
a consequence of this we find a eolourless, adhesive
substance, accompained by fcetor, completely covering
the affected skin, and which, finding access through the
cracks, causes chronic thickenning of the skin."—(Lehr-
buch der Speciellen Pathologie und Therapie der Haus-
thiere,
1886.)
VARIETIES.
It is not necessary to recognise more than two forrns,
acute and chronic chiber; whilst a multitude of
other names, from their pretty constant appearance, may
be mentioiied as sub-varieties of one and the same affec-
tion. The acute form is associated with an outbreak of
larger or smaller vesicles, which die away without
giving rise to any otlier changes of the skin or subcu-
taneous tissues to be met with in the chronic variety
(pompholyx), in which the process gradually extends
until the greater part or whole of the skin and subcu-
taneous tissues becomes implicated. Cracks then appear
on the surface, the hair falls off, and a nauseous odour
cxhales from the affected skin. The vesicles appear in
successive crops, and horses that have once suffered are
not exempt from it afterwards. Professor Friedberger
says in rare instances the affected skin has been seen in
time to assume the characters of elephantiasis, but this
is only seen in bad or protracted cases, and is not charac.
teristic of the disease itself.

"chibeh"
The acute variety (pemphigus acutiis) and the chroriic
(pemphigus vulc/aris) are the most eoiltmon forms assumed
by both ehiber and its German type, "rïiauké."
Itching is very marked in many cases, whicli is evi-
denced by the horse stamping his feet and rubbing them
against each other, the animal frequently breaking the
vesicles with his tecth, as well as by friction of the
opposite leg, as soon as they are formed (pempliiguê
pruriginosus).
Hence the vesicles aro not oftcn seen
which have formed and recently brokon : the epitheliunt
is found ruptured and gathered into folds. In the
pruriginous form the vesicles are smaller than in tha
other varieties. Some authors on human modiciné
describe this type under the head of "pemphigoid."
There is the disease called hydroa bulleux of Bazin,
which is the same as ehiber, orpemphigus with smallbullse.
Bazin tried to show a difference between the hydroa
bulleux and the bullae of pemphigus, the latter being
considered always large and the prognosis in the great
majority of cases unfavourablé. But Dr. Tilbury Fox
has shown that differences in the size of the bulla? and
their severity afford no ground for distinguishing the
ei'uption from pemphigus. He desoribes cases of abortive
pemphigus in man, characterised by small, scattered
jullse, which may enlarge to the size of a split plea, but
are generally not so large, and die away in the course of
a few days. The bulhe vary in size from that of a pin's
head to that of a split pea ; occasionally an attack will be
composed of two or three successive crops, which develop
at intervals of a few days. The disease may last, by the
development of successive crops of solitary vesicles, for
ten days are more. (See Bullous Eruptions, or Hydroa,

DIAGNOSIS.
in 'Skin Diseases,' by Dr. Tilbury Fox.)
The only diseases with which chiber is at all likely fcó
bc eoufounded are herpes and variola, both of which
always run a nioré fapid óourse than it, and are therefore
quite distirict. We have no süch thing as protracted
vesicular eruptiöns in herpes and variola, which diseases
liaving once appeared do not show themselves again, or
persist like chiber of ten does. In the acute form of
chiber the vesicles and bullse burst almostas soOn asthéy
are formed, só that they often escape detection; in herpes
the vesicles do not ruptUre as a rule, but their contents,
after becoming opaque, disappear by rèsorption* and
rarely by rupture and desiccation into light brownish
scabs. In the majority of cases the vesicles in herpes
last about eight days, in chiber they burst as a rule as
soon as they are formed, or very soon afterwards, and
Frequently escape detection, except as flakes in the site
of the vesicles.
Contagious impetigo in the horse, observed by
Schindelkaf and myselff is characterised by special
features, and could hardly be mistaken for chiber. The
disease is, moreover, contagious, and chiber is not.
Attempts made to communicate chiber from one horse
to another, by inserting the contents of the blisters
under the skin of the coronet and pastern, have failed

to produce any ï'esults, save a soreness of the skin, which
passes offin a couple of days. The disease is, therefore,
not contagious.
The pemphigus foliaceus form of chiber might be
mistaken for pityriasis rubra, on account of the large
flakes that are sometimes thrown off in the site of the
bullse, the disease consisting of bullse rapidly doveloped
and drying up into lamellse ; but in the latter there is
no history of bullse and the scales also present a different
aspect and are more widespread in character tl,an
those of chiber. Pityriasis 'rubra has no thickening
of the cutis, no papillary hypertrophy, no history of
bullse, and there is an absence of thick flakes or lamellse,
produced by the collapsed walls of the bullse, together
with more or less secretion present in chiber.
N"ow it is very important to note that chiber mny be
very readily mistaken for a number of allied diseases,
some of which we have noted, as very often the characters
of the disease are masked, and there are many varieties
of the same disease. The result x>{ neglecting to attent!
to this point is that tho practitioner rcgarcls the type
present as an eczema, an impetigo, a herpes, an elephan-
tiasis, or a something else.
TREATMEOT.
The treatment will vary according to the stage of the
disease. In the beginning cleanliness and dryness,
combined with dressings of oxide of zinc ointment, will
suffiee to effect a cure. In more advanced stages of the
disease, more energetic means will be neeessary, princi-
pally astringents and caustics, to cause it to subside:
-ocr page 156-

alum, borax, catechu, chloral, nitrate of silver etc, are
the agents most commonly employed, and are generally
attended by goodresults. lodoform has been recommended
by many German veterinary surgeons, but when once
induration and hypertrophy have set in, no treatment is
generally of any avail.
In Quain's "Dictionary of Medicine" Hutchinson* is
quoted, who thinks arsenic is the only remedy of certain
value in bad cases of pemphigus in the human subject.
Mr. Meyricksays,—"The internaladministration of arsenic
in five-grain doses for about a fortnight seems to
assist the cure in bad or protracted cases of chiber."
The natives of India have employed arsenic in the
treatment of chiber from the earliest times, and they
believe it is a specific for some forms of this disease.
Perhaps arsenic in large doses does good by acting as
a diuretic, which relieves hyperaemia of the skin. The
f oliaceous variety is best treated with repeated blisters
of hydrarg. rubrum.

CHAPTER XI.
"MADURA FOOT"; OB, AOTINOMYKOSI8.
I have shown that the disease called fungus foot, or
madura foot of India,* which is noticed equally in the
lower animals as in man, is caused by a fungus -which is
allied to, if not identical with, the ray fungus met with
in the malady known as actinomykosis, or Rivolta's
disease—a disease formerly confounded with sarcoma
and scirrhus of the cord, etc. In several recent examina-
tions of the malady in the lower animals we have noted
that the actinomyces, seen under a low power, cannot be
distinguished from the fungus found in specimens of
madura foot of the human subject. Is it possible that
the two diseases are alike 1 In my work on Veterinary
Surgical Pathology, published in 1886, I have given
a sketch of some of the appearances presented by the
actinomyces from the lower jaw of an elephant, and it is
to the fungus magnified only 20 diameters, that I wish

particularly to draw attention; and if any one will com-
pare Fig. 88 in the work on Skin Diseases, by Dr. Tilbury
Fox, which represents the organism found in madura
foot, with those of the actinomyces shown in Fleming's
work on Actinomykosis lately published, I think he
must agree in the general opinion that the nature of the
organism which causes the disease called fungus foot of
India, requires further investigation.
We are of opinion that the nature of these fungi
requires further investigation, and that inquiry will
show that the parasite of madura foot is only another
stage of transformationofthe common variety, actinomyces.
I would define fungus foot disease of India, then, as
one form of actinomykosis, caused by the growth and
action of the ray fungus during a special phase of devel-
opment, or of a particular species of the same parasite.
At any rate, the resemblance in this respect has driven
home to us the necessity for further inquiry in this direc-
tion, and to seek an explanation of the similar appear-
ances presented under the microscope, there being the
greatest resemblance between the parasites seen in the
disease of man known as fungus foot, and actinomykosis.
If the food is the vehicle through which the fungus
gains access to the mouth of animals, as it is most fre-
quently the part to be first invaded as an organ of pre-
hension, it is equally true that in the human subject it
is the foot which is chiefly affected, because the value of
boots is known to but few natives in India.
Be the value of our observation what it may, it
possesses a certain amount of interest in connection with
the minute observations made by Dr. Vandyke Carter, Ba-
gunjee Bustomjee and others, on the fungus foot of India.

CHAPÏER XII.
ISTEEMITTENT AND REMITTENT FEVER,
For some years intermittent fever in the horse was
mistaken for anthrax, and, still more recently, has been
described under the name of relapsing fever, because of
the presence in the blood of organisms resembling
spirillae, and the fever being of a recurring nature. By
degreea it has come to be acknowledged, especially since
the last few years, that these diseases are quite distinct.
Remarkable as it may appear, our iirst accounts of this
disease, as at present recordéd, did not come from the
rcgion to which it is generally supposed to be indigenous,
natuely India, but from those sections beyond this, in
Europe ; and the iirst authentic account of this
disease, or one which very closely resembles it, was
given by Damoiseau under the name of Wechselfieber
(malaria, or febris intennittens). We have other
accounts of the disease in German works, and from time
to time several varieties were noted to which special
mimes, bave been given, thus : Febris quotidiana, tertiana,
quartana, quintana, etc. Also, continued malarial fever,

chronic malarial cachexia, gastric fever, periodic fever,
Texas fever, African horse-pest, horse-sickness, ete.
The first or primary symptoms are generally those of
languor and fatigue, the animal presents a sluggish gait,
frequently hangs its head and refuses food. In a few
cases shivering fits are remarked at the onset, and the
breathing is noticed to be slightly hurried. The shiver-
ing may recur in some, though not in all cases, during
the course of the disease. The temperature is found to
be 102° F., if taken at the onset, and risés to 103°,
104° F., or even higher. It descends in a few liours to
102° F., and may even come down to normal point, with
complete cessation óf all febrile symptoms. The pulse
and respiratioiis will be increased accordingly. The cases
linger to several days and show an apparent improve-
ment, but again manifest acute symptoms. In other
cases, on the temperature being taken, it will be found
to have risen four, live or more degrees above the
normal and to be maintained high throughoiit the course
of the disease, with fluctuations. Frequently there is
no regularity in the rise and fall of temperature.
The urine is always albuminous in character, and fre-
quently contains tube-casts. When there is blood in
the urine, the act of micturition is often more frequent
than at other times. The urine, often clear and limpid,
is rosy or crimson when it lias been evacuated immedi-
ately after extravasation ; but if the blood bas remained
souie time in the bladder, the urine acquires a dirty
brown hue, due to the hsemaglobin being changed to
methsemaglobin by the action of the acid in the urine.
The cases linger to several days and show an apparent
improvement, but again manifest acute symptoms. Thirst

is sometimes present, attended with diarrho3a. Paraplegia,
pronounced stringhalt, muscular tremors, platting of
the legs, etc, develop during the course of the disease,
due to effusion on the spine and on individual nerves.
These symptoms are seldom permanent in character, and
often disappear on removal of the effused fliud due to
natural absorption.
Owing to a sustained high temperature in this disease
the animals rapidly waste and become lean, presenting
that appearance in a few days which is seen in other
■wasting diseases only after weeks of illness. Convales-
cence is protracted. The disease leaves the animals so
weak that they seldom rally in the great majority of
cases, ultimately succumbing to exhaustion.
POST MORTEM CHABAOTERS.
The blood is dark and viscid, in some of the largor
vessels forming into distinct, long clots. It is not un-
usual to find ecchymoses in the subserous and submu-
oous tissues. The walls of the heart are soft and flabby,
and the pericardial sac eontains an excess of serous fluid.
The lungs are the seat of congestion pnd catarrhal inflam-
mation, being eniarged and increased in weight, owing to
consolidation. The stomach and intestines show
petechi» and congestions, erosions, sloughs and deep
excavated ulcers of various forms and extent. The
liver is often eniarged and increased in weight, soft
and friable. The spleen is also sometimes eniarged,
though not in all cases. In those cases in which para-
lysis of the hind quarters or other nervous symptoms are
well marked, the grey matter of the cord generally shows
-ocr page 162-
155          INTERMITTENT AND REMITTENT FEVER.          CHAP.]
blood extravasations and staining of the nerve cells;
but beyond a tendency to cpngestion and ocoasional blood
extra vasation, no lesions are usually disco vered in the
nervous system.
,.Microscopically examinedthe blood shows the presence
( of white cells in excess, with destruction of the -red
corpuscles, and the presence of numerous short bacilli,
and sometimes also infusorial organisms. The presence
of these organisms is not conclusive evidence that they
have actually caused the disease, inasmuch as endeayours
made to communicate malarial fever to healthy animals
have all been attended with one error, namely of nsing
the organisms in common with the blood of affected
animals; while similar organisms have been met with
in the blood of animals enjoying perfect health. We
have injected these bacilli and spirilloid organisms
mixed with water into the veins of rabbits and dogs not
only without any evident result, but without even any
rise of the body temperature, which was taken twice
a day.
DIAGNOSIS.
From relapsing fever it is easily distinguishable by
the following characters :—The digestive orgaus usually
exhibit nothing particular in relapsing fever; in remit-
tent fever of the horse, digestive lesions, both in the
stomach and intestines, are found to be common in
almost every case, and are characteristic also of remit-
tent fever in man. 2. Pulmonary complications are rare
in rela.psing fever, but frequently exist in cases of
remittent fever in horses. 3. A symptom to which special
-ocr page 163-
XII.             INTKBMITTENT AND REMITTENT FEVER.             156
attention should be directed is motor disturbances. The
motor affection is shown by the frequent paraplegia,
twitching and spasms of the muscles, and affects the
muscles of the hind legs in particttlar, producing
Btringhalt, unsteady gait, etc. Symptoms allied to the
above are not uncommonly noted in remittent fever
of ha man beings. The mortality also is usually high,
which is more common to remittent than relapsing fever.
The diagnosis may not be easy in a few complicated
cases, but due observation of the peculiar combination
of symptoms will enable careful practitioners to make a
good practical diagnosis. The exact knowledge obtained
by the methods of inquiry employed, by carefully com-
paring the temperature charts, symptoms, and post
mortem
appearances of different cases, will lead to an
important investigation of the behaviour of this disease,
and thus to a more exact method of treatment in the
future.
The presence of anthrax may be asserted positively
by the presence of rods peculiar to this disease; (b) which,
moreover, stain readily in special colouring fluids; and
(c) are inoculable in suitable media and in susceptible
animals.
We are of opinion that a careful study of the disease
called influenza in the horse would lead to its being
divided into three or more distinct affections. Further,
we think that the distinctire characters of different
forms of fever in the horse are such as in practice could
not allow them to be confounded any longer—an opinion
which all subsequcnt observation must tend to confirm.
We may have remittent fever and remittent character
of the temperature in anthrax among horses, and

A radical cnre of remittent fever is beyond the power
of medicina!" agenoies, but much may be done to increase
the chaaces of recovery in many cases, and for this
purpose we must bear in mind the complications, which
are so common in this disease. One of the most important
of these is the tendency to pulmonary catarrh, and fre-
quent diarrhoea brought on from intestinal irritation.
In all oases it is advisable to keep the bowels from
baeoming constipated by the administration of mild
purgatives. Nourishing and easily digested food should
be giTeo. Among the remedies which have been tried
in the treatmeni of these cases and found beneficial in
aome, we will mention sulphate of qainine, sulphits
of sodium, antifebrine, antipyriae and carbolic acid.
