CASES OF DIARRHOEA IN CATTLE. 
for a purging drink for a cow that he thought was staked, al¬ 
though she was considered a shooter, as she had been purging, 
more or less, ever since last spring. She was about seven years 
old, of a white colour, and crossed a little from the old Shropshire 
into one of a lighter breed; in very good condition, and skin quite 
slack upon her. At night she died; and, on examination, the 
paunch was filled with food, but it was not of a succulent kind, 
but seemed of a hayey nature, and merely moistened with water. 
The third stomach was completely distended with food, and in a 
hard dry state. The fourth stomach: the plaits on its internal surface 
were much filled with serum, and which would gravitate when held in 
different positions : that part of it towards the duodenum, and part 
of that intestine, were very red and inflamed. The fourth stomach 
contained merely a little secretion and some sand, and had a 
dropsical appearance. The small intestines did not seem to be 
diseased, but rather small and contracted. On the villous coat of 
the large intestines, throughout them, were a great many reddish 
spots, and in other places there were whole patches of the same ; 
and on wiping this red secretion off, the coat was found to be 
abraded or ulcerated, and the interstices between these spots 
were thickened. The liver was sound. The gall-bladder con¬ 
tained about a pint of gall, of its usual appearance and consist¬ 
ency. 
CASE IV. 
On 21st September, 1831, I examined a yearling calf that died 
of this complaint. It was what we call of a hardy sort, being of 
a brown colour, and of the old Shropshire breed. The third 
stomach was filled, and approaching to staking : the plaits on the 
fourth stomach were not at all dropsical or otherwise diseased: 
the large ducts of the liver were filled with flukes, thickened, and 
in some places slightly ossified. On the secreting surfaces of the 
ducts there were patches of a black sandy secretion, that had the 
feel of small spiculi of bone newly formed. The gall-bladder con¬ 
tained from a pint to three half pints of gall, of a thin dark brown 
colour. The intestines were not diseased or thickened in the least. 
FRACTURE OF THE FACE OF A HORSE. 
By the same . 
On the 5th May, 1831, I saw a cart-horse of Mr. Darlington’s, 
of the Twemlows, that had been kicked by another horse, under
