DISEASED LUNGS, AND DEATH. 
formed from the pleura; — others were more deeply seated, and 
seemed to be situated in the cellular membrane. They were quite 
white and full. The whole of the lungs felt much knotted. There 
was no thickening or ulceration, or any disease in the opposite side 
of the vein where it was punctured, nor did it appear to have been 
touched with the fleam. 
CASE II. 
On the 2d of September, 1838, a grey cart mare was sent to me 
with an inflamed jugular vein on the near side. She had been bled 
by a blacksmith three weeks before, and once since by the owner, on 
account of supposed colic, and had been turned out soon afterwards. 
The day before I saw her she had bled from the upper orifice about 
a quart. The two openings are about two inches from each other, 
and bloody matter oozes from them. For about three or four inches 
all around there is great thickening and swelling of the integument, 
and the swelling of the vein is as great below as above. The man 
says, that during last night she has swelled a good deal up the 
neck towards the ear. She was out in a good pasture of clover. 
She has been out most of the time, and occasionally worked ; but 
is much worse on being worked. I injected a solution of hyd. 
oxymur., and found the openings communicated. I ordered her to 
be kept up, and to have a mash now and then. 
5th. — Better. Not much swelling around, but the vein feels 
very thick. Inject a solution of sulphate of zinc, and put a tent of 
it in each wound. 
9th. — Better: there is little discharge, and the openings are 
nearly closed. Inject and put tents in, moistened with a strong so- 
lution of hyd. oxymur. There has been no oedematous swelling 
towards the head since she has been kept up. 
\0th . — She has been neglected, and not brought to me ; and has 
evidently been rubbing her neck against something, as it is more 
inflamed and tender. Granulations are springing up from the ori- 
fices, and there is a little unhealthy matter from each. I gave a 
dose of physic, and injected the sinus with sol. zinci sulph., and 
put a tent dipped in a solution of hyd. oxymur in at the lower 
orifice. I blistered the neck, and ordered her to be more carefully 
tied up. 
20th . — Less swelling. The lower orifice is large. I now intro- 
duced a hooked piece of wire into the wounds, and drew out por- 
tions of the vein ; in fact, cutting the diseased vein at each end 
clear across. I then put a tent of ung. hyd. oxymur. in each. 
23c?. — Dressed the wounds as before, and blistered again. 
2 6th . — The blister has risen well. The openings are not suffi- 
ciently large to get any sloughs out; I therefore laid open the
