INVERSION OF THE BLADDER.

appeared exasperated, though afterwards abatement of them com- 
monly ensues. It seems very doubtful, however, whether any 
further injection can be employed, the aperture, although a 
wooden plug has been constantly kept in it, being nearly closed. 
25th . — No injection has been admissible since the 23d. The 
discharge, which has of late been daily decreasing, has to-day 
ceased altogether, and but little fcetor can be detected. The gland- 
ular swelling is likewise subsiding again. In fine, once more 
the mare appears on the road of recovery. 
April 1. — She continues well. Let her now be fed well, and 
regularly ridden out every morning. 
May 2. — Not the slightest return of discharge ; although there

tectible. The swelling has all but left the gland. 
May 6. — Sent away “ cured.” 
*** I have the satisfaction of adding, that the other day I heard 
of the black gelding, whose case (of nasal gleet) has already had 
reference given to it — vol. xix of this Journal — and that he was 
reported to have been, two months ago, at which time he was 
sold at Tattersall’s, in excellent health and spirits. 
CASE OF INVERSION OF THE BLADDER IN A MARE.

To the Editor of “ The Veterinarian .” 
Sir, — Cases, such as the above-named, being very rare (at least 
so far as being recorded), perhaps the following will not be devoid 
of interest to the readers of The VETERINARIAN. 
Your’s, respectfully, &c. 
On the 24th of April I was requested to attend an aged cart- 
mare, which had foaled a few days previously, for what they 
called “ having put her reed down.” Upon my arrival I found 
the mare standing, shewing no symptoms of pain ; the pulse 60, 
and full ; breathing slightly accelerated ; extremities warm. The 
external organs of generation were swollen, and tender to the 
touch, and presented ragged edges, which had occurred from 
several sutures that had been passed through the sides of the 
labia, to keep, as they said, “ the reed up.” I immediately re- 
moved the sutures, and proceeded to make a careful examination 
per vaginam, when, to their surprise, I found, instead of its being
