violet color. The flow of pus becomes less in amout, thin and glairy. The healthy -granulations -almost disappear.

As the disease advances a discharge from the nose may occurs - At first serous and becoming purulent later. Abscesses may form in -any part of the body producing special symptoms, according to the organ affected. As Icterus, pneumonia, lameness from abscesses in joints, Encephalitis &etc

We have two forms of pyaemia. (a) Specific - example - strangles (b) Simple from absorption of germs from wounds.

Etiology -by - Staphylococcus albus Staphylococcus aureus Streptococcus pyogenes Micrococcus

Pyaemia only occurs after healing has commenced. The essential conditions being a broken surface of bone or broken veins.

A thrombus or clot forms in a vein, germs invade it, then follows softening of the plug and dissemination of the broken particles causing metastatic abscesses to form

Pathological Anatomy Metastatic abscesses are found in various parts, most commonly in the lungs and to a less extent in the liver, kidneys and spleen.

Pathological Physiology. The first germ producing disease was discovered by Pasteur in 1878. White corpuscles migrate to a wound, the vein walls become weakened, The thrombus breaks up, and the parts containing micro organisms are disseminated, causing the formation of abscesses.

Treatment. Is not satisfactory, the main point however being to support the animal by stimulants and nourishing foods.

Septicaemia. Synonyms.- septic infection, putrid infection, & putrid fever. is a disease in which the blood is invaded by micro organisms which cause enlargement of the spleen, kidneys and etc. also a breaking down of the blood.

There are two forms of septicaemia. A specific form as in anthrax &c. and a simple form which will be considered here.

The constitutional symptoms of the simple form resemble those of pyaemia very much but generally in an aggravated form. In addition the escape of haemoglobin

into the urine is seen, and is called Haemaglobinuria. When the blood escapes it is called Haematuria.

This form usually occurs from wounds or abrasions and may be caused by some germs that produce pyaemia.

The reasons why this disease is produced, instead of pyaemia, are:(1) There is a greater virulence of the germs. (2) The susceptibility of an animal varies. (3) A greater number of germs enter the system A) Spontaneous septicaemia originates from pneumonia & etc. B) Traumatic septicaemia, from wounds.

Pathological Anatomy.The blood looses its coagulability and germs are seen it in when examined with a microscope.

Fatty degeneration occurs, the muscles having the appearance of boiled flesh. [illegible] of the membranes is seen

The carcass putrifies rapidly after death. The walls of the capillaries contain many bacteria, which are difficult to discover during life, especially during the first of an attack.

Treatment Not satisfactory. However that indicated would be antiseptics, germicides & stimulants.

Septical Pyaemia (A) Toxinaemia from absorption of ptomaine[illegible] (B) Toxalbuminaemia from absorption of ferments.

This disease is seen in diffuse gungrene of the foot, (Keratogenous membrane) and in gangrenous pneumonia.

The intensity of the symptoms depend upon the amou. of poison absorbed. It is not produced by any certain bacteria. But may be caused by any saphrophytic bacteria
