the labia pudendi as wide apart as I could. The mother, who 
had been perfectly exhausted, permitted him to turn the hind 
quarters in the womb. He seized the posterior limbs, aflSxed 
cords to them, and the expulsion of them was speedily effected. 
Due care was then bestowed on the mother, and at the expira¬ 
tion of twenty days she returned to her work. 
Cask VIII.—A parallel case afterwards occurred to me. 
A farmer had turned his mare, bis; with foal, in a field at a little 
distance. Knowing that her time of foaling drew near, he often 
went to see her. On June 4th, 1831, he found the foal dead, 
with the anterior part of it expelled, and hanging from the vulva 
—the mother very little disquieted about the matter, and occu¬ 
pied in grazing. He quickly obtained assistance, and endea¬ 
voured to draw away the remaining part, but in vain, and the 
throes of the mother had apparently long since ceased. He 
sent for me. I found the foal in precisely the same position as 
that which my father had removed. I employed the same means, 
and with similar success. The mare was detained only a very 
few days in the stable.
