EMPHYSEMA OF THE NECK, 
20M.—Both vastly better. Their bowels are regular, and pulse 
at the natural standard. Apply a charge to the blue roan, and 
turn them out altogether. 
From this time to the 1st of August they progressed surpris¬ 
ingly, and on the 8th I again saw them : they appeared quite 
recovered, and were as fat as porpoises. 
August 16M.—I was summoned in great haste to attend the 
red roan, I found him much in the same state as he was when 
originally attacked. He was staggering about like a man beastly 
intoxicated, and had amaurosis. There was some fever—the pulse 
sixty, but the appetite was good. Bleed to syncope, and give 
physic. 
l8/7i.—Much the same. Give small doses of aloes and di¬ 
gitalis. 
23c?.—Great improvement,—a trifling staggering gait. Blis¬ 
ter the back extensively. 
September —The swerving motion slightly perceptible. 
Turned out. 
2Qth .—Still too much lateral motion. Repeat the blister. 
November 27th .—Can walk perfectly upright. 
April 1838.—Both colts are quite well, and at plough. 
I had two similar cases at the same time: the one a mare 
giving suck, and the other a waggon horse. They both recovered 
in a few days by copious bloodletting and powerful purgatives. 
These complaints are not frequent in England; but 1 have seen 
a disease very much resembling it, and very frequent in India. 
It is termed Kumree. 
A CASE OF EMPHYSEMA OF THE NECK, BREAST, 
CHEST, &c., IN A HORSE. 
By Mr,W. A. Cartwright, Whitchurch. 
Mr. Cook son, sen., of the Woodhouses, lent his grey cart¬ 
horse to his son. He was in good condition—I may say fat— 
and had about twelve months ago been castrated. 
June 7th, 1838.—Between five and six in the morning, the 
horses were fetched up. They galloped about very much, and 
snorted a great deal. He, amongst others, was then put into 
the stack-yard for awhile. Soon after he took a sort of bound¬ 
ing deer’s leap on all fours; then all of a sudden stopped, 
humped his back up, and was very stiff. The front and sides of 
his neck were puffed out instantly to a great size, and the swell¬ 
ing presently extended all over his breast, shoulders, and the lower
