CONTRIBUTIONS TO THE PATHOLOGY AND 
day very distinct. Murmur over tlie superior half of the left lung 
very clear; lower half dead. Ears very cold; extremities the 
same; pulsation is present in the jugulars. Action of the heart 
faint, and slightly irregular—partial sweats are present, particularly 
upon the back, shoulders, and sides—dungs small quantities occa¬ 
sionally—stales occasionally; specific gravity of urine 146; con¬ 
tains a large portion of mucus; in other respects normal. Continue 
medicine—give him anything to eat he will take; and in addition 
to his medicine, and between periods, give an ounce of yeast in a 
little cold water. 
18/A, Four o'clock, P.M. —This morning the animal was again 
found in a state of severe perspiration—his clothing was completely 
saturated with wet—it also ran from him in large drops—he paws 
the ground a great deal, and 1 learn, upon close inquiry, that he 
has occasionally done so from the commencement of his illness : he 
grinds his teeth—pulse 84 per minute, irregular and jerking—respi¬ 
rations 26 do.—respiratory murmur over the superior region of the 
right side is very clear to-day (it is loud, in fact)—I can also detect 
it (though but faintly) through the middle region—lower region still 
dead—murmur over the left side same as yesterday. Cavernous 
rale distinct; it exists to-day along the inferior part of the middle 
region of both the right and left sides of the chest. Action of the 
heart irregular, and what I should denominate tumultuous. Con¬ 
tinue the use of the yeast, and give the animal any kind of food to 
eat that he will take. 
19 th. —To-day, about twelve o’clock, Mr. Broadbent called to 
inform me that the animal died about eleven o’clock last night, and 
that he wished me to send some one for the carcass: this I did, so 
that I had ample opportunity to examine it with care. 
Fjxamination seventeen hours after death. —On removing the 
skin in contiguity with the penis, two bulbous substances, situated 
in the locality of the testes, were exposed. At the first glance T, 
for a moment, mistook them for the testes; on cutting into them, 
however, a large quantity of very thick pus became liberated, the 
colour of which was a pale pea green, destitute, or nearly so, of 
effluvia: both these masses passed by a narrow neck through the 
abdominal rings into the cavity of the abdomen, on entering which 
they again became bulky, and were of a dumb-bell shape. I slit 
up these internal bodies, and more pus, similar to the other in every 
respect, became liberated. The internal surface of these bodies 
was pale, and a little rough, and very closely resembled the villous 
portion of the stomach. A similar deposit of pus existed in the 
cellular tissue around the superior surface of the ccecum; also be¬ 
tween the stomach and the diaphragm, between the liver and the
