84 HORN FOUND WITHIN THE STOMACH OF A FOETUS. 
The repeated introduction of the syringe causing much irri¬ 
tation, I constructed a steel canula, 14 inches long by one in 
diameter, curved, and terminated by a tin bulb, with the other 
end formed into a small funnel. 
The bulb end of the canula being pushed into the bladder, 
whenever the funnel at the other extremity was turned down¬ 
wards, urine flowed through it; and when it was inverted, 
turned upwards, any fluid (an injection such as mallow decoc¬ 
tion) found its way into the bladder, which by this contrivance 
was easily lotioned after it had been evacuated of its urine. 
This detersion of the internal exulcerations was continued 
thrice a day for fifteen days. 
It was not however until three weeks that the urine ceased to 
produce irritation ; and not for a month after the discontinuance 
of the injections that the ulcerations had cicatrized and the 
parts were restored to their former state of tranquillity.

DECEMBER 29, 1821. A mare seven or eight months gone 
with foal died from well-marked acute peripneumony. The de¬ 
sire to learn if the disease of which the dam had died had af- > 
fected the foetus in any way, led to an examination of the latter, 
as well as the former. We were going to conclude that no such 
influence ,had been transmitted, and that every organ in the 
foetus was sound and healthy, when, out of mere inquisitiveness, 
opening the stomach, we were surprised by the following ap¬ 
pearances. 
The stomach contained a certain number of little bodies of a 
brown colour verging to a red, having a fibrous texture, easily 
torn in the direction of the fibres, but sufficiently resistant the 
other way. Of their form an idea may be conveyed by com¬ 
paring them to portions of the layers of an onion, torn or cut 
into longitudinal segments; varying from an inch to 1 ^ in 
length, and from a line to a J of an inch in breadth ; the thick-
