TUMOUR IN THE STOMACH.

9th . — She does not seem so well, is more restless, and does 
not feed well. I ordered her gruel, and any thing she would eat, 
and to be kept comfortable. Her pulse is not at all over quick, 
and, upon the whole, the symptoms are not of the worst descrip- 
tion; but she moans, and puts her head out on the ground, 
which I do not altogether like. To be left alone until to-morrow. 
In the course of the night she died, but she had previously 
strained a great deal. 
I opened her on the next morning but one. The foetus was 
nearly in a decomposed state, and the bones were separated, in 
a great measure, from the flesh. There was no vestige of intes- 
tines, but they were become one mass of putridity. Itappeared to 
be about an eight months’ calf : there was hair on it, but it was 
short. The passage was a little discoloured, and the external 
parts were swelled, but not greatly so. If there had been room 
to remove the foetus by the passage, it would not have borne draw- 
ing out by the legs. The uterus was in that state in which we 
should imagine it to be when containing a putrid carcass. 
TUMOUR IN THE STOMACH, WITH ANASARCA. 
By Mr. B. Bull, Launceston. 
Having had rather a singular case of morbid anatomy lately 
occurring in my practice, t now forward an account of it. It 
took place in a mare about seven or eight years old, and ap- 
peared, at first, in the form of a tumour at the point of the 
breast, opposite to what is called, in butchers’ phraseology, the 
sticking-bit . Just below it was an anasarcous swelling, running 
along the under part of the belly. The pulse was rather quick 
and corded, and there was a hot and dry tongue; other marks 
of symptomatic fever also presented themselves. The skin 
was harsh and dry, and the mare much emaciated, although but 
little depressed in spirits. I ordered four quarts of blood to be 
taken away, and sent three balls composed of small doses of aloes, 
with tartarized antimony, nitre, resin, and linseed meal, with 
four cordial diuretics to be given after them. 
The enlargement, formerly called anticor y was rather hard and 
tender ; I therefore tried at first to repel it, but, finding all 
means ineffectual for that purpose, I sent a very mild blis- 
ter ointment, to be rubbed in previously to application of a poul- 
tice.
