substance likewise often experiences the same granular conver- 
sion, the tubuli uriniferi entirely disappearing ; while, in other 
instances, both cortical and tubular structures become changed into 
a homogenous, spitted, granular mass, leaving the ureters, pelves, 
and calices of their ordinary structure.” 
This account is full of interest to the veterinarian. Horses are 
animals in a peculiar degree subject to disease of the kidneys ; and 
they are especially prone to albuminaria. It will be well in our 
future post-mortem investigations to make a point of examining 
the kidneys of horses in particular, with a view of comparing their 
morbid aspects with the representations here given. — E d. Yet.

This was an action on the warranty of a horse.

unsoundness had been alleged. He offered to refer the matter to 
a sportsman and a gentleman. The plaintiff submitted the horse
