24 CASES OF TENOTOMY, TRACHEOTOMY, 8cC. 
Case III. — Sept. 16, 1843. — A thorough-bred chestnut colt, 
by Lord John, the property of Mr. T. Lilburn, was placed under 
my care, having an umbilical hernia, the largest I have ever seen 
in so young a subject, he being only six months old. 
I cast him, placed him on his back, and returned the pro- 
truding intestine. I then applied a clam over the loose sac of in- 
tegument, in as close proximity to the abdomen as possible. That 
done, I allowed him to rise. I ordered him to be kept in a loose 
house, and gave a lotion with which the parts were to be bathed 
three or four times a-day. After the lapse of a few days this was 
changed to an astringent lotion. There occurred no unfavourable 
symptoms. On the 29th, the tumour separated, leaving no appear- 
ance of hernia ; there remaining only a small seam the length of 
the clam, which soon disappeared. 
Case IV. — Dec. 4, 1848. — -A year-old chestnut colt, the pro- 
perty of Mr. Robert Cardwell, farmer, near this town, was placed 
under my care, having an umbilical hernia. I adopted the same 
mode of treatment as in the former case, and with the same 
success. 
Case V. — July 7, 1849 — A black colt, two years old, the pro- 
perty of Mr. Richardson, farmer, near this town, was subjected to 
the same treatment, in consequence of having an umbilical hernia, 
and with the same success as in the two former cases. 
Anasarca, the Sequel of Influenza. 
Case VI. — Oct. 29, 1849. — I was this day requested to see 
a black carriage-horse, the property of R. W. Lowry, Esq., at 
Pomeray House. I was informed that several of Mr. Lowry’s 
horses had recently had influenza, this horse being one of them. 
It was thought, however, that he was nearly recovered ; until, on 
going into the stable yesterday morning, he was found greatly 
swollen. On visiting him, I found the near hind leg as high as 
the perineum, the off fore leg outside of the shoulder,- and the 
breast as high as the lower part of the neck, enormously swollen; 
likewise the nostrils, the tumefaction of which extended half way 
up the nasal bones. The Schneiderian membrane was blanched, 
and there was perceptible a little discharge of white matter. The 
pulse was quick and full, such, indeed, as would, in any other com- 
plaint, have indicated the use of the lancet; yet was I convinced 
the system could not bear the abstraction of ever so small a quan- 
tity of blood. I commenced treatment by scarifying the swellings, 
and ordering fomentations, frequent and long-continued, with walk- 
ing exercise three times a-day; also a nutritious diet, such as 
scalded oats, bran, carrots, &c., according as he might fancy. On
