INFLAMMATION OF THE JUGULAR VEIN.

lated by the condition of the mare, the state of the pulse, and the 
appearance of the blood. I have never practised it without finding 
in a short time, particularly where there has been an overloaded state 
of the system, the pains return, and the uterus recover its action ; 
while in due time the efforts of nature are accomplished, the foal 
delivered, and the mare does well. 
I cannot but think that every one interested in the prosecution 
of physiological knowledge must hail with great satisfaction the 
experiments recently made and recorded by my friend Mr. James 
Turner on the blood. The manner in which these have been con- 
ducted must strike the inquiring mind with great satisfaction ; and 
justice must add her tribute of praise to the novel and able method 
of carrying out a reasoning that probably, in some respects, may 
revolutionize the doctrines laid down for us by a few of the early 
members of the medical profession. 
INFLAMMATION OF THE JUGULAR VEIN, DISEASED 
LUNGS, AND DEATH. 
By Mr. W. A. Cartwright, Whitchurch. 
CASE I. 
On the 9th Sept. 1825, 1 was sent for to see a cow, fourteen years 
old, belonging to Mr. Grosvenor, that had, on the near side, an 
inflamed jugular vein. She had been bled three or four weeks be- 
fore, and the vein began to swell and ooze out a few days after- 
wards. It has become gradually worse and worse up to the pre- 
sent period, and divers means have been fruitlessly tried by the 
owner and others to effect a cure. The vein is very much en- 
larged from the orifice upwards, and so are the branches above. 
The case is the same below the orifice, so far as it can be felt down 
to the chest. The adjacent parts are also much swollen. The ap- 
petite tolerably good — the pulse rather quick. Between her fore 
legs and about her breast is an oedematous enlargement, so much 
so that she can scarcely walk. Blister the whole neck in the course 
of the vein, and give Cape aloes Jss. and hyd. submur. et pulv. 
digital, aa 3 j. 
Y2th . — The cautery was applied to the orifice ; and there were 
given, resin |j, digitalis 3 j, zingib. 3 ij ; and spirits of turpentine 
rubbed on the oedema. 
1 §th . — The kidneys acting well, and the oedema beginning to 
subside. Repeat medicine and embrocation. 
19^A. — Better. 
21 st . — Eats pretty well, and is now turned out to grass. Wound 
not closed. Inject solution of hyd. oxymur., and repeat medicine.
