FIBRO-FATTY TUMOUR, INVOLVING THE MAMMARY GLAND 
OE A MARE; EXTIRPATION AND CURE. 
(Eb.oh the Clinic op the School.) 
An aged cart-mare was brought to the school on the 
15th of June, I860, having an enormous, hard, and indolent 
tumour on the mammary gland, extending to the umbilicus. 
This tumour had, according to information received, come 
on since the month of January, at which time it was the 
size of an egg; but for the last three months it had daily 
increased, so as to render the mare useless. Professor 
D’Elwart, having assured himself by exploration that no 
communication existed between it and the abdominal cavity, 
decided on its removal. The patient being duly prepared, 
the operation was performed on the 18th. The morbid pro¬ 
duction weighed nearly fifteen pounds ; it had for its nucleus 
the whole of the mammary gland. The wound, or rather 
the excavation, was filled with dry tow, secured by stitches, 
over which a bandage was applied. On the 20th, the wound 
was dressed for the first time; on the 24th, suppuration was 
established; on the 14th of July, the animal was discharged 
cured. 
TYPHOID EEVER IN THE HORSE, AND ITS RELATION WITH 
THAT IN MAN. 
By M. Baillif, Veterinary Surgeon in the Artillery Train (Imperial 
Guard, France). 
The author divides this disease into three forms; the 
muco-catarrhal, the thoracic, and the abdominal. The first 
is not very serious, and is what we should designate simple 
influenza; is never dangerous, except when associated 
with the second form, which is sometimes called typhoid
