UNUSUAL APPEARANCE OF THE URINE.

denly the blood gushed in a stream from the seat of injury, and 
continued to do so every time the mare took any food, unless 
pressure was made on the jugular vein. 
On the 8th inst. a ligature was applied to the jugular, about 
eight inches below the bifurcation, which had the desired effect 
of arresting the occasional hemorrhage from the original wound, 
and which began to granulate and lessen in size daily after the 
operation. The mare’s habit of body became improved, and her 
appetite was exceedingly good. 
The ligature, with a portion of the vein, came aw r ay on the 
23d, and no untoward symptom exhibited itself, with the excep- 
tion of a slight tumefaction around the wound in the chest. 
On the morning of the 24th, the head, neck, breast and 
shoulders commenced swelling, and which pitted on pressure ; 
while coagulated blood oozed from the wound in a small quantity ; 
her appetite failed, and she evidently experienced great uneasiness 
when she attempted to sw r allow. The swelling continued to 
increase until the evening, when suddenly blood began to flow in 
a stream from the mouth and nostrils, and which speedily ter- 
minated in death. 
Post-mortem Examination . — The cellular membrane was filled 
with serous fluid. The vein above the ligature was firmly plug- 
ged up with lymph. Below the ligature the vein contained 
blood in a fluid state. The wound below, which communicated 
with the jugular, looked very dark and unhealthy. The course 
of the vessel towards the heart was highly inflamed, and also 
the jugular on the opposite side. 
The heart was much inflamed. The lungs were also tubercu- 
lated, and vomicse were beginning to form. A considerable 
quantity of extravasated blood was found in the left lung, and 
which was the immediate cause of death. An effusion of serous 
fluid had also taken place in the cavity of the abdomen. The 
other viscera were healthy. 
CASE OF UNUSUAL APPEARANCE OF THE URINE. 
By Mr. J. Cl ay worth, Spilsby. 
In the first week of October last, a bay blood mare (then 
running in the mail), the property of Mr. North, coach pro- 
prietor in this town, began to fall off in condition, and was 
consequently turned into a box to rest, where she rapidly regained 
flesh and spirits. On the 20th of the month she was taken to 
exercise, previous to being put to her former work. When she
