H/EMATURIA IN A CART-MARE. 
615 
To the Editor of “ The Veterinarian .” 
Sir, —On reading the observations of Mr. Hodgson, in 
your last number, relating to expansion, I was not a little 
surprised to find that gentleman making allusions to a theory, 
published by me in a pamphlet on * Expansion/ in the year 
1848, without any reference to its author. 
The portion I allude to in particular is, ei that there is no 
descent of the sole or expansion of the crust, except from 
growth. 5 * 
This theory he will find (as nearly as possible in the same 
words) explained in my little book. 
I trust Mr. Hodgson will have the kindness to acknowledge 
it through the medium of your valuable Journal. 
I beg also to inform the profession, that I decline any con- 
troversy on the subject of expansion in your publication, as 
I propose bringing out a Second edition of the Physiology of 
Expansion early in the ensuing spring. 
1 shall thank you for the insertion of the above in your 
next publication. I have the honour to be, Sir, 
Your most obedient servant, 
A. C. Shaw, Y.S., 3d Dragoon Guards.

HEMATURIA IN A CART-MARE. 
By Mr. W. A. Cartwright, M.R.C.V.S., Whitchurch, Salop. 
April 28 th, 1852, 11 p.m.— Mr. Ackers, of Marbury, 
came for me to see a black cart-mare, 21 years of age, that he 
thought was not well. She had been ploughing gently part of 
the day; was broken-winded; and had not been looking quite 
so well for some time past. Since she left her work at six 
o’clock, she had been pawing a good deal, and occasionally 
lying down; but had not been violent, nor had ever rolled 
over : abdomen not swollen. It was supposed to be a bowel 
complaint. On the 20 th of June , 1844,1 attended her for an 
attack of black-water, which was cured in a few days. The 
owner said her water was now good. Gave an aperient 
antispasmodic drink. Raked her; the faeces were hard. I 
remained with her for four hours, when she appeared 
relieved by the medicine, as she stood still in no apparent 
pain.
