In another case, of inversion of the uterus, and where, from the 
violence of an ignorant servant, considerable laceration had taken 
place, M. S., having returned the part, instead of using the ban¬ 
dage, passed two stitches through the lips of the vulva. In eight 
days the animal was well.

M. RENAULT, in the Recueil de Med. V^t. Juillet, 1828, re¬ 
lates a very singular case, which we shall abridge. A carriage 
horse had fallen in the shafts on the preceding evening, and after 
that had several slight attacks of colic. - On the following morn¬

commenced his daily journey. He worked more freely than he 
was accustomed to do, but his respiration became laborious, 
and the carriage halted two or three times that he might take 
breath. 
No sooner did he enter the stable than he lay down, rolled over 
and over, a profuse sweat covered him, and his countenance was 
anxious and expressive of extreme pain. 
At2 p. M. M. R. saw him, and considering it to be an attack 
of acute inflammation rather than colic, prepared to bleed him. 
To this the proprietor superstitiously and peremptorily objected; 
and the usual medicines and clysters were administered. The 
horse became hourly worse. His extremities, and even his body, 
grew cold; the force of the pulse was sensibly diminished, but the 
heart beat with increasing power. 
At 9 p. M., after some violent efforts, he discharged from the 
nostrils a quart of thin green fluid, of a penetrating herbaceous 
smell, and holding in suspension a few particles of half-digested 
food. All expression of pain had ceased; the body was covered 
with perspiration, and the limbs were icy cold. The vomiting 
continued at short intervals, sometimes from the nostril, at other 
times from the mouth, until more than fifteen quarts of this green 
pungent liquid were discharged. The pulse could scarcely be felt, 
but the heart beat with greater violence, shaking the whole of the
