EVERY-DAV CASE*. 
by the degree of irritation; and perhaps the calomel and altera¬ 
tive medicine had been pushed a little too far, and the tonic balls 
commenced too late. 
Dec. 10 ch, 1832. Paraphymosis. — Spaniel, Mr. W—. 
The glans penis cedematous, treble its natural size, protruded 
from the prepuce, and cannot be returned. Scarified it with a 
lancet on both sides ; a watery fluid, mixed with blood, escaped ; 
fomented well with w arm water, then ran the eve-end of a curved 
needle, dipped in sweet oil, all round between the prepuce and 
the glans; easily returned the glans, and ordered cold water to 
be applied three or four times in the course of the day. 
11th. —Well: nothing to be seen but the slight incisions made 
yesterday. 
Dec. 10 th, 1832. Parturition. —Terrier, Lady de la-. 
A fortnight ago she whelped, and w r as apparently doing well 
until yesterday, when she began to pant violently. She now lay 
half unconscious ; her breathing could be heard in the next 
room, and a person unaccustomed to dogs would imagine that 
she was dying. Ordered her to be kept in a warm bath (temp. 
96 Farh.) a quarter of an hour, and to be fairly but not too tho¬ 
roughly dried ; she was then wrapped in a blanket. She was 
soon relieved, and a strong physic ball was given.

pies; one of them was’ordered to be destroyed immediately. 
Another was taken away two days afterwards. She did well. 
Dec. 10th, 1832. Lamp as. —Bay filly, Mr. R. The bars of 
the palate were enlarged, but to no great extent. It was, however, 
wished that they should be burned or cut; and I lanced them 
rather deeply. The groom was instructed how and when to stop 
the bleeding with a sponge and cold water; but he could not, or 
would not do it, and she bled on until she began to blow 7 and to 
stagger. He then came in great haste. Two of my pupils re¬ 
turned with him, and immediately arrested the haemorrhage by 
means of a compress and alum water. 
11th. —The enlargement of the bars has disappeared. She is 
feeding; and no harm is done. 
A CASE OF HYPERTROPHY OF THE HEART. 
By Mr. Thomson, V.S., Beith, N. B. 
In the month of March, 1833, a horse, belonging to Mr. Orr, 
Carse of Loch win noch, was brought to me for examination. I 
found him lame, apparently in the shoulder; he groaned when 
backed, and shewed unwillingness to turn round, or even to
