INVERSION OF THE UTERUS IN A MARE.

ful application they so anxiously desire, of the veterinary art to 
domestic animals in general ; and that those pupils of the College 
who attended and underwent a satisfactory examination on these 
branches of practice and study, would have an additional clause, 
expressive of their proficiency on those points, appended to their 
respective diplomas. 
The Editor has great pleasure in announcing, that on one of 
the evenings of the sojourn of the English Agricultural Society 
at Liverpool, a meeting took place of those who had witnessed 
the earliest commencement and rapid increase of the Society. 
Among those who were first and most active in its establishment 
was the original Secretary, Mr. Shaw. His whole time was occu- 
pied in rendering his humble but most valuable assistance to the 
noblemen who, so much to their credit, occupied the higher 
seats at the board. Some acknowledgment of respect and 
thanks is due to him who first commenced the work, and whose 
labours in it were unwearied. Messrs. Baker, of Cottesmore, 
and Hillyard of Thorpelands, were most active in summoning 
this meeting, a satisfactory account of which will, we doubt not, 
be shortly laid before the public. 
TREATMENT OF INVERSION OF THE UTERUS IN 
A MARE. 
By Mr. James Horsjburgh, V.S., Dalkeith. 
In the following letter 1 would beg leave to direct the atten- 
tion of the profession (though without finding fault with the 
book-makers) to the practice almost generally pursued in inver- 
sion of the uterus. This must have come under the notice of 
every veterinary surgeon who has a moderate share of practice, 
especially in the country, and to them these remarks may be of 
some little use : but to the young theorist or essayest especially, 
who, as he sits with perfect ease in the lecture-room, can manage 
one of the most difficult cases of parturition, dismember the 
calf in utero, do what he pleases with the viscera, and dispose 
of the whole of them with a dash of the pen, — this may, perhaps, 
be most acceptable.
