with some white substance. On closer examination, I found 
that a large film of lymph, attached to the lower central edge of 
the iris, was floating loose in the aqueous humour, upwards, 
towards the inner and upper part of the iris, nearly filling the 
pupillary opening, which was very much dilated, being, I should 
think, about three-quarters of an inch in diameter. The eye¬ 
lids were well dilated, and 1 could not discover the least inflam¬ 
mation, either externally or internally ; and the calf was feeding 
and looking well. The people looking after it thought the 
disease could not have existed long. 
Treatment .—Took about two quarts of blood from her, and left 
a weak solution of argent, nit. to drop into the eye occasionally, 
and ordered her to be kept up for a (lay or two.

IN A PONY. 
By THE SAME. 
On 8th May, 1845, I was called in to attend a large bay 
pony, in excellent condition, belonging to Mr. Wycherley, 
saddler, Whitchurch, that had a severe attack of influenza, 
which had now assumed the form of pluero-pneumonia. 
She was bled three times, and the throat and thorax were 
blistered, &c., and by the 16th inst. she was nearly convalescent, 
and was that day being taken out for a short walk. Though her 
fore legs were then perfectly clear of any enlargement or disease, 
she was not out more than a quarter of an hour—and the groom 
said she never hurt herself against any thing, nor did she jump 
about—when on her return the off fore leg was found a good 
deal swelled, midway between the knee and the fetlock joint, at 
the back part. It had, at first sight, almost the appearance of 
a sprain. I was sent for to see it, and found it very sore indeed. 
It was quite local, and did not extend for above four inches 
down the leg, and only about the sinews. It was not at all 
cedematous, nor was there any general swelling of the limb. 
On passing my fingers over the part, I could feel the nerve 
that passes from one side of the limb to the other: it felt con¬ 
siderably larger, was extremely sensitive, and distinct from the 
enlargement of the leg. 
On looking at the other fore leg, I could clearly see the nerve 
passing around the back part of the leg, and, on handling it, or 
giving it the least pressure, she would flinch and shew the most
