INFLAMMATION OF THE FEET.

patient has not laid down during the night. Five pounds of blood 
were detracted from the jugular, and the nitrated mucilaginous 
drinks were continued. A poultice was applied to the loins, and 
emollient fumigations to the belly. 
6th . — No change. The bleeding was repeated and the regimen 
continued. 
7th . — She is more cheerful than on the preceding day. She 
ate, but very slowly, some cabbage-leaves, and drank a little 
gruel. The pulse was less hard and accelerated — the mucous 
membranes less red ; but the excrement was hard, and the urine 
red and turbid. Administer emollient drinks in which a diuretic 
powder has been dissolved. 
8th . — Still improving — the excrement softer — the urine less 
highly coloured, the hair smoother, and regaining its natural lustre, 
but she has not yet ruminated. I withdrew the pessary, and there 
ran from the vulva a sanious fluid of an infectious smell. I in- 
jected some warm water with a little wine into the vagina, and 
repeated the injections during the day. The same regimen con- 
tinued. 
9th . — She still improves, and has begun to ruminate. The 
urine and excrement are in their natural state, but a sanious fluid 
continues to run from the vagina. 
UPA.—The sanious fluid is replaced by thick white matter, 
which has scarcely any smell. The pessary was withdrawn, as 
were also the lotions and fumigations. She gradually returned to 
her usual food, and on the 16th was driven into the field with the 
other cows. 
I often had occasion to see her when visiting her owner’s farm 
on other occasions, and she continued to be well. 
This case confirms the opinion that has been advanced by 
several veterinary surgeons, that rupture of the uterus in our 
female domesticated animals may, occasionally at least, be cured, 
if a proper treatment is adopted.

TWO CASES OF THE COINCIDENCE OF ARTICULAR 
AND TENDINOUS SYNOVITIS WITH INFLAM- 
MATION OF THE PLEURA IN THE HORSE. 
By M. Oger, M.V., 6th Reg. of Chasseurs. 
In page 6*32 of thel3th volume of our Journal, we introduced 
an account by M. Bouley of the lameness by which horses that 
had lately suffered from pleurisy are occasionally attacked. It is
