say the animal was no better, and that he was very much 
blown. I prescribed the following : 
R, Tinct. Assafcetidae, 5ij ; 
01. Lini, §xij ; 
Tinct. Opii, §iss. Fiat haustus. 
I likewise ordered injections to be thrown up occasionally. 
My patient was seen again between eight and night o’clock in 
the evening, when he was evidently worse. He had been up 
and down frequently. Tympanitis to a considerable extent 
existed. The bowels had not responded to the medicine, nor 
had any faeces been passed with the injections. The pulse 
had now become quick and weak, and increased to between 
60 and 70 beats in the minute. I ordered the former draught 
to be repeated, adding a drachm of calomel, and requested 
the proprietor to have the animal watched during the night. 
November 19 th.—The patient is considerably weaker. He 
has not partaken of anything during the night, excepting a 
little gruel, with which he was drenched. There is still no action 
upon the bowels, and they are quite as tympanitic as before. 
|Sc Tinct. Assafcetidse, ^ij; 
Ol. Lini, *x; 
Calomel, ^ss. 
Two o’clock p.m.—The pulse has become almost imper¬ 
ceptible* and the animal is evidently sinking. Discontinued 
treatment. He died during the night. 
Upon making a post-mortem examination on the following 
morning, the single colon was found to be ruptured in three 
places, to the extent of about two or three inches in each 
place. The intestines that had been eaten formed an impact- 
ment of considerable size within the bowel. These lesions 
fully accounted for all the previous symptoms and death.

OF THE ILEUM OF A HORSE. With a Woodcut. 
By J. Woodger, M.R.C.Y.S., London. 
The subject of this case was an aged, brown gelding, the 
property of the London General Omnibus Company, which, 
in consequence of a severe attack of colic, was sent to my 
infirmary on the 16 th of November last. I learned that the 
horse had eaten his usual quantity of corn in the morning, 
and appeared also to be in perfect health till about 9 o’clock, 
when he suddenly gave indications of being griped. An
