" Another very remarkable fact is, that milch cows rarely show the disease, though conveying it to other animals through their milk. Dr. Phillips says — ^' It is not unusual, where persons suffer from this disease, to find, at the same time, calves using the same cow's milk sick with ' trembles;' while the cows are to all appeartmce in perfect health. The dry cattle are much more frequently attacked with 'trembles' than cows which are secreting milk in abundance.' To the same purpose Dr. Schmid...t remarks — ' Cows giving milk do not show the disease at all, but their calves have it all the time as long as they suck the milk ; dogs fed on milk get it.' Dr. Phillips says — ' A calf gets it from the cow in the milk, — the calf dies ; and the pigs which eat the carcase get the disease and die ; the dog which eats the pig, and MILK SICKNESS. 445 the buzzard which eats the dog, all in due time contract the same disease.' Dr. Schmidt and others speak in similar terms. " This transmission of the disease through a long series of successive victims, which has been shown in ' scores of careful observations,' demonstrates the important fact of the specific nature of the poison and its multiplication within the system ; while any simple mineral or vegetable poison in similar circum- stances would soon have been rendered inert by dilution.
