ment it got better for a few days, and then (as the old Mrs. said) 
the old con^plaint returned. I again had recourse to the same

well for the space of an hour, after having its milk given it. 
Now, at five weeks old the said calf was fat, and sent to the 
butcher ; and, on examining the paunch, I found a ball composed 
of hair, about the size of both my fists, and of rather a soft

I BEG to state another case :—A Mr. Etherington, of Needless 
Hall, near Bishop Auckland, had a heifer, eighteen months old,

weighed upwards of forty stones, of 14 lb. to the stone.

AND DIAPHRAGM.

Rem ipsam putemus, ut consule in medium. 
In looking over my journal of cases for last year, I find the 
following, which may not be uninteresting:—Mr. Heaton, solicitor 
of this town, had a hackney horse, which he turned out to grass 
about May 1832, where it remained till the 18th of August fol¬ 
lowing, when he sent for me to see the horse, which was just 
brought up from grass, as he was not looking so well as he 
expected, but had fallen much away, as he expressed it. The 
following were the symptoms developed : pulse 65, and wiry;
