REPORTS 
MADE TO THE ROYAL ACADEMY OF MEDICINE AT PARIS, 
BY MM. BOULEY, JUN., AND DUPUY, ON TWO MEMOIRS 
PRESENTED TO THAT ACADEMY BY^ PROFESSOR DE NAN- 
ZIO, DIRECTOR OF THE ROYAL VETERINARY SCHOOL 
AT NAPLES. 
[Professor de Nanzio was commissioned by the Neapolitan govern¬ 
ment, in the winter of 1836-7, to visit the principal veterinary 
schools in Europe, and to make purchases of horses in Eng¬ 
land for the stud of the king of Naples. During his sojourn 
in Paris, he presented to the Royal Academy of Medicine in 
that city a Memoir on the Cure of Hip-lameness, and another 
on that of Laminitis in the Horse. After a short discussion 
they were referred to a sub-committee, consisting of MM. Du- 
puy and Bouley, jun. 
On M. Nanzio's arrival in England he attended one of the 
meetings of “The Veterinary Medical Association,” and laid 
on the table of the Association copies of the same memoirs. 
Copies of them, and of the discussion that ensued, may be 
found at pp. 64 and 68 of “ The Abstract of the Proceed¬ 
ings of the Association.” During the residence of M. de Nan¬ 
zio at Paris, a friendship, honourable to both parties, sprung 
up between him and M. U. Leblanc, who advocated the 
cause of the Neapolitan Professor in an Essay, a translation 
of which was given in The Veterinarian of 1837, p. 402. 
The Report of MM. Dupuy and Bouley, jun. being now added, 
the reader will be in full possession of both subjects.—Y.] 
M. Bouley is the reporter.

Horse,” and the other,- A new Method of curing Laminitis in 
the Horse.” In the name of that committee I now beg to report 
its opinion of the treatment recommended by M. do Nanzio: —
