Now, paralysed muscles are later in assuming the cadaveric rigidity than healthy muscles, the rigidity lasts longer, and putrefaction sets in later and proceeds more slowly.
As we have already seen, the contagious typhus of the ox, at least that of the present epizootia, is an infectious disease, which varies in the intensity of the functional disorders and the cadavericlesions to which it gives rise.
We have seen the causes, the symptoms, and the cadaveric alterations of the Bovine typhus, and we may therefore apply ourselves at present to the consideration of its pathogenia and its nature.

In cadaveric paralysis both cords are in a position midway between abduction and adduction, and their margins are crescentic, so that sufficient airway remains.
Moreover, the products of ordinary cadaveric decomposition would be so much pabulum or nutriment for the continuance of the virus.
After a few hours the blood gradually sinks to the dependent parts of the body giving a reddish-blue discoloration, known as post-mortem discoloration, or cadaveric lividity.
It is now known that the muscles, after cadaveric rigidity has set in, do not respond to electric stimuli.
