nated. On raising her she strained to force the dung out, 
which I consider a favorable symptom. 
Several quarts of milk have been drawn from her during 
the day.

medicine the man found her up. 
28th. — Nine, p.m. — On my visiting her I found her up. 
Udder soft, and the calf had sucked freely, by which the 
udder was much reduced in size. She looks more lively, 
and carries her head now straight out before her. Has 
voided dung once, which is softer, but still mixed with some 
that is hard. Give some castor oil with Jamaica pepper 
every hour or two, and allow nothing but gruel and water. 
Legs to be well rubbed, as she seems weak and shuffling 
behind. Applied some more brandy and mustard on her, 
loins. 
From this time she got better and was soon all right again, 
nor has she been ill since. 
COW CALVING, WITH BREECH PRESENTATION. 
By the Same. 
On the 1st of March, 1852, I was called in by Mr. Tapley 
of Marbury, to an aged cow that could not calve. Several 
persons had been trying to extract the calf for some hours, 
but without success. On my arrival I found her down, and 
the labour pains violent. The hind parts only of the calf 
were presented, and forced out five or six inches. The 
os uteri was greatly distended. Whilst preparing to assist 
her, she got up and changed her position by lying on the 
other side, and she then began to strain and bear violently 
down. I laid hold of the hinder parts of the calf and pulled 
slightly, when it came away, apparently without any great 
difficulty ; the hind parts being presented, and the hind legs 
under the body. The cow, and calf (which was full grown) 
did well ; and within twenty-four hours the parts had con- 
tracted to their former state.
