94 The Mi. anagement and Diseases of the Dog. 
From the Veterinarian, May, 1870, I transcribe the 
following interesting paper :— 
“JAUNDICEIN THE DOG ANDITS TREATMENT. 
“BY M. WEBER, VETERINARY SURGEON, PARIS. 
“The author believes he does not exaggerate in saying 
that, up to the present time, jaundice in the dog has been 
considered by veterinary practitioners as generally, if not 
always, mortal, and that therapeutics were powerless to 
combat it. 
“The authors who have written on this disease, it must 
be acknowledged, were. not well acquainted with it, and 
therefore not very competent. It is more particularly in 
the treatises on sport that we find any description or treat- 
ment of this malady, hence very different theories and 
treatments have been produced without resulting in any 
benefit, either to science or to the patient. 
“Some veterinary authors, however, have treated the 
question, and have tried to cénnect it with a certain order 
of anatomical lesion ; but in many cases these anatomical 
lesions are insufficient, at least, according to the results of 
my experience. 
“ Before proceeding, it is important to state what I under- 
stand by jaundice ; it is not every malady in which the 
yellow icteric tint is often a symptom of a more serious 
-organic lesion, and which it would be useless to attempt to 
-cure, that should be considered as jaundice. The jaundice 
in the dog, such as I have often been able to observe, is, 
like the icterus, simple and grave in the human subject, and 
it is of this form only that I intend to treat ; it corresponds 
to the malady in man, described by M. Ozanam as Jcterus 
essential character grave,and which has also been designated 
as icterus malignus. In a great number of cases the icteric 
tint is a symptom connected almost always with ‘some 
serious lesions (such as rupture of the liver, abscesses and 
cyst in the same, scirrhous tumours, obstruction and rup- 
tures of the gall-ducts, intestinal invaginations),
