was quite loose in the sheath. 1 pulled it out, as there was a 
cow then in season ; and on being brought out of the cowhouse 
he attempted to bull her, and protruded his penis four or five 
inches, and which was now uncovered. A larger tube was made 
to be introduced, which I have no doubt would have cured him ; 
but he was disposed of, and I heard no more of him. 
A tube of the above description ought to have been introduced 
when we first opened the sheath; but, thinking the penis 
would have gradually answered the purpose, we omitted it. We 
afterwards found that, in consequence of the parts being sore 
and strictured, he would not force it out sufficiently, and of 
course the orifice which was made closed up again. 
ON PROPER PROFESSIONAL CONDUCT. 
By Mr, S. Brown, Mellon Mowbray, 
“The cause undoubtedly suffers, as well by the diminution of that strength which 
union carries with it, as by the separate loss of personal reputation, which every man 
sustains, when his character and conduct arc frequently held forth in odious or con- 
temptible colours.” 
Gentlemen, 
That the human mind should possess a natural propen- 
sity to envy and detraction is a lamentable fact ; and we 
have to learn what satisfaction it can obtain from the exercise 
of these unworthy passions. Hence the necessity of our being 
particularly cautious not to utter, insidiously, illiberal expres- 
sions respecting each other. Illiberal conduct on the part of 
fellow practitioners towards me is the cause of my addressing 
you ; but while I reluctantly expose the ridiculous fact, feelings of 
compassion induce me to spare the men. 
The gentlemen of whom I justly complain are persons whose 
advantageous birth, and I presume liberal education, might 
have rendered them pre-eminent, had they endeavoured to incul- 
cate, both by precept and example, those feelings of professional 
amity, that ought to exist among the members of a science which 
has numerous difficulties to surmount, before it can be held in 
the public estimation it so justly merits. It is always painful 
to speak of oneself, but, upon most occasions, when I have been 
in attendance and perceived the least dissatisfaction in my 
employers, I have suggested that Mr. should be sent 
for ; even although I was fully convinced that the patient was 
recovering and doing well. This gentleman does not condescend 
to meet me in consultation, and I have been dismissed as a 
matter of course. 
Such an apparent want of confidence on the part of an
