EVERTED UTERUS 118 



brush. She had been walking about considerably 

 and the uterus was very much lacerated, swollen 

 and bleeding and thoroughly covered with feces 

 and other dirt. It was a case where the indica- 

 tions were for continued straining. I cleaned up 

 this uterus carefully in a warm three percent 

 Creolin solution and with considerable difficulty 

 replaced it after standing the cow in the stall with 

 her hind feet about a foot higher than the front 

 ones. She at once began to strain violently. With 

 my arm inserted and with the aid of an assistant 

 I commenced running in a weak solution of 

 potassium permanganate and continued this for 

 two hours, when her straining had nearly ceased. 

 I instructed the owner to continue the irrigation 

 for two hours longer. No other treatment was 

 given. The following evening and the next mor- 

 ing the owner reported the cow doing fine. She 

 did not strain any more and a week later she had 

 fully recovered, all discharges having stopped.
