It was further recognized at an early period of our investigations (1893), that unless cattle were the subjects of a second form of disease, either of spontaneous origin or inoculated, which tended to lower the vitality of the body and so render the system more susceptible to disease, try- panosomata were but occasionally encountered in the peri- pheral circulation. a—I
