bury. He was called to a mare reported to have the “ gripes/’ 
whom he found “ vomiting copiously/’—she was “ prevented 
from lying down/’ by being led about all the while; but she 
“ continued every four or five minutes to eject a large quan¬ 
tity from her stomach, which flowed through both nostrils.” 
Opium suppressed the vomiting and relieved her, and she 
recovered. 
Case ii, related by Mr. Roper in vol. vm of “The 
. Veterinarian,” (1835,) is one that occurred in Mr. Lang- 
worthy’s practice. The horse was attacked with “ all the 
symptoms of gripes,” and was next day found “ discharging 
incessantly a yellow fluid of a very offensive odour, in large 
streams, from both nostrils, and which was marked by all that 
labour and distress which usually attends this marked action 
in the H. S.” 
Post-mortem .—The stomach was found “ distended almost 
to bursting and in the ileum the passage was “blocked up:” 
the intestines posterior to the obstruction being “ flaccid and 
empty,” while there existed “great distension of the stomach 
and small intestines.” 
Case hi, “Veterinarian,” vol. xii, (1839,) related 
by Mr. Tombs, is the one adverted to (at p. 388 of “The 
Veterinarian,”) by Mr. Gamgee. A mare, the property 
of a medical man, while on a journey, “ suddenly cringed 
herself up and vomited a gallon of indigested fluid and saliva: 
she vomited three or four times in the course of her journey.” 
A copious flow of saliva continuing, her mouth was examined, 
and an oat discovered “ imbedded in the lining of the upper 
lip,” to which Mr. Tombs seemed to ascribe the vomiting. 
Case iv, we meet with in vol. xv of “The Veteri¬ 
narian,” (1842.) Mr. Hughes, the narrator of it, attended 
an old breeding mare for gastritis, whom he found “ vomit¬ 
ing, per nasum , large quantities of a fluid similar to saliva in 
appearance.” He gave her belladonna, hydrocyanic acid, &c., 
after which vomiting ceased. She afterwards “ quickly re¬ 
covered —“but had not been at work more than three or four 
days when she had another attack/’ of which she was cured by 
similar treatment. By the narrator of this case, Mr. Pritchard,
