"This disease is especially prevalent in low and moist pastures, and it is of most frequent occurrence in spring and in autumn, and when the weather at those seasons is unusu- ally cold and changeable. It is almost useless to enter into the consideration of treatment. It would consist in a change to dry and wholesome and somewhat abundant pasture — the placing of salt within the reach of the animal, and, if he was valued, the administration of the hydriodate of potash, in doses of three grains,... morning and night, and gradually increasing the dose to twelve grains. With regard, however, to the common run of sheep — when wasting has commenced, and is accompanied by cough or dysentery, the most honest and profitable advice which the surgeon could give to the farmer would be, to send the animal to the butcher while the carcass will readily sell." Some American writers appear to think they have recognized this disease among the sheep of our country. Consumption is considered distinctly hereditary in almost all domestic animals.
