of the bloodvessels with a budding-iron. Scarcely any haemorrhage 
ensued, even before the application of the actual cautery. 
In making transverse and longitudinal sections of the large 
tumour, we discovered all the characteristics of cancer ; the sur- 
face presenting a fungous excrescence, of a red colour, with 
ragged and ulcerated edges. A day or two after the operation a 
dose of physic was given ; since that time he has served a cow, 
and the case has done well. 
DISEASED BLADDER. 
By Mr. J. Tombs, F.S., Pershore. 
A brown horse, twenty-four years old, in good working con- 
dition, was put under my care, with the following symptoms : — 
Quick and weak pulse — profuse perspiration— excessively quick 
and short breathing — haggard countenance — frequently looking- 
back — lying down often, but not rolling — voiding his urine in 
small quantities ; and was at plough, as usual, yesterday.

animal in a dying state, I proceeded, with a view to satisfy the 
owner, to bleed him, and administered opiates, &c. He died in 
thirty hours from the acute attack. 
Nothing of importance was observed in the viscera of the body, 
but the bladder, the coats of which were very much thickened —

Welsh colt, the property of a gentleman a few miles distant from 
this town. On my arrival, I was informed that he was taken ill
