so. At five o'clock another dose was given. In three 
quarters of an hour after, most extraordinary diaphoresis 
had taken place, which was kept up by warm clothing, and 
from that time the animal gradually improved, and was dis¬

FISTULA OF THE TEMPORAL REGION, CAUSED BY ONE 
OR MORE MOLAR TEETH.—OPERATION AND CURE. 
By M. J. Macorps. 
The author of this paper states that he has met with this 
affection in a foal ten months old, and in nine horses varying 
from three to five years old, and four in aged horses 
The operation consists in making a crucial incision, and 
then detaching the skin so as to lay the parts open, and then 
with a chisel to remove the tooth, or at all events to raise it 
so as to be enabled to seize it with a pair of pincers. 
Of fourteen horses thus operated upon by him, thirteen 
got well in about ten days. The fourteenth had to be ope¬ 
rated upon twice in three months, and at each operation a 
tooth was extracted. The coronary surface of these teeth 
always points upward, while the fangs are downwards. This 
article is accompanied by a woodcut showing this form of 
these teeth.
