Driving on icy ground, or through a narrow doorway where the abdomen is liable to be jammed, are other common causes. Aborting cows often fail to expel Page 24 5 matches or abdomen; from overdistention of the rectum or bladder; from undue narrowing of the passages; from excess of fat in the walls of the pelvis; from the disturbance of a nervous cow by n Page 26 5 matches thickest part of the body of the calf (the upper) is engaged in the narrowest part of the passage of the pelvis (the lower). Yet unless the calf is especially large and the pelvis of t Page 27 3 matches , this is rare in cows. It is most liable to take place in cows with narrow hip bones, and when the service has been made by a bull having great breadth across the quarter. The calf, ta Page 29 4 matches narrowed by cutting the bones apart in the median line below and causing their free edges to overlap each other.

In the case of the looser growths they may be snared by a fine, spring wire passed as a loop through a Page 37 2 matches s. OSTEOMYELITIS. This term refers to an inflammation of the bone marrow, which is most commonly seen following the bacterial infection of a compound fracture and usually results in Page 39 1 match This accident may be the result of crowding while passing through a narrow door, of falling violently on the point of the hip, or from a violent blow directed downward and forward agai Page 43 1 match us membrane of the nasal passages or genital tract. They grow upon a narrow stem, bleed readily when injured, and often contain a center of thin, limpid fluid. A bloody discharge is som Page 59 1 match products that the virus enters the human body. The question has thus narrowed itself down to the food products furnished by cattle. It has become a very urgent question, especially in Page 61 1 match serious forms of the disease. (Pls. XXXIX, XL.) It may start in the marrow of the bone and by a slow extension gradually undermine the entire thickness of the bone itself. The growth m Page 65 1 match areas when they form in the throat, larynx, or windpipe, may lead to narrowing of the passages, with consequent difficult breathing and even suffocation. Various respiratory murmurs may Page 66 1 match bodies in a corpuscle. These bodies are in general pear-shaped. The narrow ends are always toward each other when two are present in the same corpuscle.
