AN EXTRA NUMBER OF TESTES IN A COLT.

large quantities of the worms were voided with their faeces. The 
draughts were given to a few until the faeces became of a 
healthy character. In one month from my first visit they had, to 
all appearance, perfectly regained their healthy condition. It 
perhaps should be observed, that they were pastured until a few 
days before I saw them on salt marshes by the sea shore. 
Though these or my other communications may not be new to 
you or many of your correspondents, I hope you will consider 
them as an earnest of good wishes and intentions with regard to 
you, Messrs. Editors, and your invaluable journal The Veteri- 
narian. 
A CASE OF AN EXTRA NUMBER OF TESTES IN A 
COLT. 
By Mr. W. Cox, Leek. 
The case in a former number of The Veterinarian of a 
mule having four testes, brings to my remembrance a colt of my 
father’s which had three testicles. A common gelder was sent for 
to castrate this colt: he was a black one, a year old, of the cart 
kind. 
My father and I stood by while the operator took away two 
testicles about the usual size. The colt got well, and was put with 
his companions. He shortly, however, began to shew the symp- 
toms of a rig, and was put among the cows. He became so 
vicious among them, that we had him up, and examined him, 
and found another testicle. 
The gelder was sent for, and took it away. The colt did well, 
and became docile. 
He was castrated the second time two months after the first, 
and, so far as we can remember, the last testis was about the same 
size as the others. 
STRINGHALT IN A COW. 
By the same. * 
Mr. Booth, of Bradnop, near this place, has a cow now in his 
possession, which has got the stringhalt in the hind leg of the 
milking side. 
Remarks . — Cows are subject sometimes to an awkward manner 
of walking with their hind legs, from having large udders, &ic. 
But this is a clear case of stringhalt.
