72 TUMOUR AND STRICTURE IN THE SMALL INTESTINES- 
* ^ 
state, and hanging in flakes: for twelve inches each way the in¬ 
testine was very much inflamed, as well as at the strictured parts. 
The passage through the tumour would not more than admit my 
fore finger, and that with difficulty. This perfectly accounted for 
the animal being uneasy if the bowels were not relaxed. There 
was a hard mass of food collected for twelve inches in the intes¬ 
tine anterior to the tumour. 
I have been once called to a cart horse that died under similar 
circumstances. I did not see him until an hour before he died; 
and, on post mortem examination, I found a similar tumour, 
though not so large, about eighteen inches from the entrance of 
the caecum, in the ileum. I have preserved the tumour first 
mentioned in a solution of corrosive sublimate, and intend, at 
the first opportunity, to present it to the Museum now collecting 
by the Veterinaiy Medical Society. This is the second case of 
the kind that I have met with; and I much wonder, as does 
Mr. Percivall (in a late number of the Veterinarian), that 
veterinary authors and practitioners class all diseases where the 
animal expresses abdominal pain under “ Enteritis/' or the conve¬ 
nient and unmeaning terms “fret,” or “gripes." I am con¬ 
vinced that cases like the above frequently occur, and are never 
attended to, because the horse has died from the usual symptoms 
of spasmodic colic. 
I beg leave to mention the following mixture, which I have 
found singularly efficacious, with the usual remedies of bleeding, 
&c. in comon colic. I do this because I have had several mis¬ 
haps in giving the common remedy, turpentine, such as blistering 
the mouth and fauces, violent purging, &c,; and, in one case, 
after giving a horse, two years ago, six ounces mixed with a pint 
of oil, although it relieved his pain it produced inflammation of 
the fauces, and a cough that has continued to the present time. 
Powdered opium ten drachms, horseradish two ounces, pow¬ 
dered capsicum one ounce, spirit of nitrous aether one pound; 
macerate fourteen days. Take one ounce of the tincture, and two 
ounces of spirit of nitrous aether; and repeat' it every two hours, 
if necessary, in warm gruel. 
CASE OF DIVISION OF THE EXTENSOR TENDON 
OF THE FOOT. 
By Mr. W. C. Spooner, of Blandford. 
On the 16th of August, 1829, I was sent for by a respectable 
farmer to attend a young cart horse, that had met with an ac-
