TUMOUR WITHIN THE CRANIUM, PRESSING 
UPON THE CEREBELLUM. 
By G. J. Vincent, M.R.C.V.S., Redgrave. 
July 13, 1854. — I was requested this morning, about six 
o’clock, to attend a bay cart mare of the Suffolk breed, the 
property of Mr. D. Wolsey, Thelvetham, Suffolk. The man 
who has the charge of the cart-horses informs me that she 
refuses to feed with the others ; stands back from the manger, 
hangs her head, appears a little restless, and he thinks she is 
also “ a little griped.” 
On my arrival, I learn that the mare has been regularly at 
work, and was ploughing only the day before. She has been 
fed the same as the other horses, but had lately fallen off 
somewhat in condition. 
The pulse is fifty in the minute, and very distinctly to be

I remained with her about three hours, during which time 
she occasionally walked round the box, then laid down, but 
almost immediately rose again, reeling forward. She sighs 
more frequently, and appears at times quite unconscious of 
surrounding objects. 
6 p. m. I find my patient standing nearly in the same 
place as when I left her this morning. She has not eaten 
anything, although offered several kinds of food during the 
day. The pulse is 56. Repeat the fever ball as before 
ordered. The faeces voided are dry and hard, and as I did 
not fear super-purgation in an affection of this kind, I gave 
a draught composed of —
