up it ; I found, however, that the penis slipped through this, so I 
applied another, nearer to the extremity. I now got an assistant 
to grasp the penis so that it should not retract when I attempted 
its removal. I plunged a sharp-pointed bistoury through its centre, 
and separated one-half of it, and applied the cautery to its surface : 
I then separated the other part, and applied the cautery to it like- 
wise. Afterwards I took the tapes gradually off; but finding that 
a little blood oozed out, I re-applied the cautery, and then loosed 
the penis, which immediately withdrew itself into its sheath. He 
was now released from the hobbles, and got up, when it was seen 
that blood issued more freely than before from the parts. I had 
him walked home to his stable, and when there it continued to 
bleed for two or three hours at a gentle rate, so that, altogether, I 
should think he lost about three quarts of blood. Soon after he 
got into the stable he urinated very freely, and, in the act, the point 
of his penis was gently protruded whilst it was bleeding. I gave 
aloes Barb. 3iiiss, ordered a restricted diet, and that he be kept 
cool. 
For the next day or two he continued, at intervals, to bleed a 
little, especially after urinating, though nothing of moment. 
Nothing more was done to him. In a few days after he was 
turned into the field, and is now perfectly restored. 
CASES OF TENOTOMY, TRACHEOTOMY, EXOMPHALUS, 
AND ANASARCA. 
By Mr. MARSHALL, Veterinary Establishment, Dungannon. 
Sir, — I f you consider the following cases, as abridged from my 
case-book, worthy of a corner in the next number of The VETE- 
RINARIAN, you will please give them insertion. The case of teno- 
tomy is worthy of remark only from the length of time that had 
elapsed since the operation was performed, and the circumstance 
of the horse continuing to remain firm on the leg : at least, so he 
did a few weeks since, when I last saw him. The cases of exom- 
phalus seem to deserve attention, as shewing the success of a 
simple mode of treatment ; while those of anasarca evince the effi- 
cacy of the hydriodate of potass internally administered. 
I remain, Sir, 
Your’s faithfully.
