HovEN IN Cattle. — Can vou inform me where I can 

 obtain an instrument first devised by Dr. Monro, and now 

 brought to perfection by Mr. Brae, of the Kegent's circus, 

 ■which is said to be superior to every other method of re- 

 lieving blown or lioven cattle ? 



Brad's Patent Veterinary Syringe consists of a syringe 

 to vvliich tubes of diit'erent sizes are affi.xed. according to 

 •the purpose and kind of animal to be operated upon.

 horses and cattle, and a smaller one for dogs ; also for 

 sheep.

 lieving cattle choked with turnip or potato. Asophagus 

 Probange, is about 4] feet in length, to reach from the
