mg not one fact relative to the horse. These circumstances in¬ 
duce me to hope that the observations which I am about to 
record may possess some interest, and may contribute to throw 
some light on the diagnosis and treatment of diseases of the 
spinal marrow.

Pulmonary Hernia in a Pig. 
By M. Tausia. 
[Journal Pratique, Feb. 1830.] 
On the first of November last, I was sent for to a pig, aged 
seven or eight months, which had been gored by a cow, and 
which had, to use the language of the messenger, its liver hanging 
out of its body. The horn had penetrated into the chest, be¬ 
tween the sixth and seventh ribs on the left side, and on a level 
with the point of the elbow. The anterior lobe of the left lung 
protruded an inch and a half. The animal had been thrown 
several feet above the head of the cow, had fallen on her shoulder, 
and thence, on the ground. Contrary to the opinion of the 
standers-by, who affirmed that there was no chance of saving the 
animal, I returned the portion of lung which protruded, passed 
a suture through the edges of the wound, and placed on it a 
compress, moistened with a solution of salt slightly alcoholized, 
and confined by a firm bandage. 
On the morrow, when I expected to find my patient dead, he 
was lively, and had drunk some white water, which he had re¬ 
fused on the preceding evening. I then ordered some maize to 
be offered to him, which he greedily ate: I, however, thought 
proper to keep him on rather spare diet. A cicatrix was formed 
on the fifth day, accompanied by a swelling, of about the size of 
a nut; but this gradually subsided, and in fifteen days the wound 
was healed. 
Urinary Calculi in the Ox. 
By M. Jouanaud. 
[Journal Pratique, May 1830.] 
In the course of the year 1829, three oxen were destroyed in 
our slaughter-house, on account of calculous concretions. The 
case which I am about to relate is that of a fourth. In Novem¬ 
ber last, 1 was desired to see an ox that could not pass its urine. 
It had been attended by a blacksmith, who practised cattle medi-
