CALCULI IN THE INTESTINES OF HORSES. 
Jenner’s statue adorns Trafalgar Square, one naturally asks 
why is Harvey left to repose in the private family vault of 
an Essex village church ? Two hundred years has he reposed 
there. Clothed in lead, and followed erewhile by his sorrow¬ 
ing colleagues of the Physicians’ College, he was borne to 
burial at Hempstead, in Essex. And there, at this hour, says 
Dr. Willis, lies the lead that laps him, little changed, and 
showing the outline of the form within. How much more 
worthy of preservation these remains than those brought in 
our time with so much pomp from St. Helena to a royal se¬ 
pulchre ! Well may a correspondent write, c In no country 
but England would the remains of the discoverer of the cir¬ 
culation of the blood have been left to repose so long in 
obscurity !’ ” 
QUANTITY OP BLOOD IN A HOUSE. 
The weight of a horse being assumed, says the American 
Veterinary Journal , as 1200 pounds, the quantity of blood will 
be 84 quarts, or 168 pounds, of which 4.5 quarts, or 90 
pounds, will flow from the jugular vein previous to death, 
although a much smaller quantity will sometimes deprive the 
animal of life. 
CALCULI IN THE INTESTINES OF HORSES. 
One of the horses belonging to Messrs. Merry and 
Nutter, provision merchants, of Whitechapel, while at work, 
was taken suddenly ill with stoppage of the bowels. 
Mr. Williams, veterinary surgeon, on being sent for, pre¬ 
scribed the ordinary medicines, but without effect, as the 
animal died in four or five hours, after suffering the greatest 
agony. An examination of the body after death showed 
that the stoppage was produced by a calculus in the intes¬ 
tines. It measures nineteen inches in circumference, and 
weighs five pounds and a half; is hard, polished, and 
perfectly round, excepting in one part. Although this must 
have been the growth of years, the horse was apparently in 
good health till the day of his death. Several smaller calculi 
were in course of formation.
