A case with the above doubtful heading is recorded in "The Veterinarian" of December 1849.

* For the dose of these medicines, consult the " Introductory Remarks."

"On Friday, September 14, a black and tan terrier dog was taken suddenly ill with purging and vomiting. In a very few hours the alvine evacuation as well as the vomit assumed the rice-water character of cholera discharges. All the visible mucous membranes were of a leaden colour. The dog died next day, violently cramped, after twenty-four hours' illness."

Curious to relate, the owner and nurse of the dog was seized next day with similar symptoms, and died in less than two days. Was the disease cholera, and, if so, was it transmitted from the dog to the woman? The recorder of the case says, Yes.

The great remedy for such a case as this is Arsenicum.* Veratrum is also indicated by the symptoms.
