Sclerous Myocarditis in Camels

crossed poles being still in position as a support. After a few steps dung was passed freely. The stable, about I 50 yards off, was successfully reached, and, as soon as placed in his stall, the horse staled naturally. The case is now doing very well, and I do not see why there should not be complete recovery. I believe that if I had seen the case in the mornin g I should have diagnosed broken back, and recommended destruction. Moral. - Do not give a has ty opinion.

UNDER the above heading, I have to describe what proved a source of great annoyance among Government camels at the transport station of Cawnpore, towards the latter end of 1885 and beginning of this year. The patients were seized with Dyspncea- 11 gasping for breath "-tossing of the head and general restlessness, and evinced more or less pain on pressure to the ribs on the near side. As a rule, most animals rolled over to the near side before death. The disease was witnessed principally in young camels apparently in good health (although old ones were not exempt), was not preceded by any symptoms, and caused sudden death. Necropsy: The heart was found more or less enlarged and dilated; its muscular walls were swollen in 'a ppearance and flaccid to the feel, in a few cases presenting extensive rupture, with extravasation into the pericardium. The muscular changes of the heart were, as a rule, universal in character, and not confined to any one portion or portions of its walls, which, examined on section, after hardening, appeared to be made up for the most part of muscular fasciculi, having a newly-formed fibrous or fibrogelatinous tissue developed between, which readily stained with carmine, and gave the appearance presented in the disease of heart in man known as" Rapid Cirrhosis."
