to settle, causing severe lameness, and great constitutional 
disturbance ; so much so, that after a few days suffering, she 
succumbed. 
I was informed that this animal had shown symptoms of 
strangles about two months before her death ; but in such a 
mild or irregular manner, that my assistance was considered 
unnecessary. How far this might act as a cause, I am not 
prepared to say; but should be glad to hear your opinion, 
with some remarks on the morbid limb, and you will oblige, 
Yours, &c. 
*** The above case seems not undeserving of the appella- 
tion of general , or anomalous disease, seeing that both the 
thoracic and abdominal viscera, with the brain and locomo- 
tive apparatus, were all more or less affected. And there 
appears reason for thinking that it might have taken its 
rise in retro-cedent strangles . In the leg sent us, the prin- 
cipal seats appear to be suspensory ligament and bursal 
structures between this ligament and the perforans tendon, 
immediately over the joint of the fetlock, which likewise 
participates in it. Also, above the joint, between the 
ligament and tendon. The synovial tissues appear to have 
been invaded by ulceration, which, we should say, might 
prove a sequel of rheumatic disorder. But, in truth, the 
limb was received by us (at Windsor) in so far an advanced 
stage of putrescence that its morbid changes were descried 
but with difficulty and uncertainty. Nevertheless, Mr. Cooke 
will accept our thanks for it. — Ed. Yet.
