IMPACTMENT OF FOREIGN MATTERS IN RECTUM. 13 7 
November 2d. — A healthy discharge is excited by the 
seton, and the symptoms generally are more favorable. In- 
jections continued. 
7th. — The animal is still improving. I had her put in 
slings during the night, as she had been down, and was 
unable to rise without assistance. 
29th. — She is quite recovered, and no further treatment is 
required. 
In these two cases you will observe that no medicine was 
given by the mouth, except at the commencement of the 
attack. I am convinced that cases of tetanus would be more 
often successfully treated if seclusion and quietude were 
strictly enforced. In each case about the same quantity of 
hydrocyanic acid was used, and the amendment began to 
show itself about the same time in each. 
IMPACTMENT OF FOREIGN MATTERS IN THE 
UPPER PART OF THE RECTUM. 
By W. Furnivall, M.R.C.Y.S., Kington 
On the 23d of November last, at 9 a.m., I was requested 
to attend an aged bay carriage-horse, the property of 
P. Turner, Esq., which was said to have been attacked with 
colic at 5 a.m. The groom informed me that his master had 
bled the animal largely, and also exhibited to him an anti- 
spasmodic draught. Being prevented from responding to 
this summons at once, I sent by the groom the following 
draught, to be given immediately: 
Sol. Aloes B. B., §vj ; 
Tinct . Opii, §j ; 
01. Tereb., §ij* M. 
At 1 1 a.m. I visited the patient, and found him compara- 
tively easy. Pulse 65 and full, visible mucous tissues in- 
jected, breathing accelerated, extremities rather cold. 
History . — The animal has been for the last six years 
accustomed to the routine of stable management in London. 
His present owner purchased him on the 9th instant, 
brought him into the country, and turned him into an orchard 
for a few hours daily, in which was a heap of lime and cinders. 
The autopsy disclosed that a morbid appetite had induced 
the animal to eat a portion of this mixture. At one o’clock
