by Dr. Hoskins on “ Some Aspects of Association Work in the 
Future. The first paper in the series of half-hour talks, a plan 
inaugurated by the association for the entertainment of its mem- 
bers and guests during the coming season, will be by Dr T 
Cheston Morris, member of the Devon Cattle Club, on some 
thoughts and statistics in dairy products, personal experience in 
the proper preparation of milk for sale in the markets, and the 
value of separate products of milk. 
A number of cases were reported, among which probably the 
greatest anomaly was reported by Dr. Hoskins. It was that of 
a male Angora cat, _ recently castrated and placed in his sani¬ 
tarium for completion of recovery, subsequent to operation 
bubject extremely anaemic, with complete anorexia, during a 
period of two weeks eating nothing but a few spoonfuls of milk 
refusing every other kind of food. The animal was listless 
lying invariably on the right broadside. A foetid diarrhoea pre¬ 
ceded death a short time. Diagnosis .—Pernicious anaemia. 
Treatment.—K\\ kinds of food, milk, eggs, fish, meats (cooked 
and uncooked), tonics, pepsin, iron, and nux. Autopsy .—Heart 
m abnormal position, resting against right thoracic wall, rem¬ 
nants of right lung only. Left lung divided into five lobes 
nrmly attached to spinal column ; each lobe divided in its en¬ 
tirety ; partially developed diaphragm ; large omentum increased 
m size, estimated as one-half; very thick and embedded with 
small wax-like deposits, somewhat resembling miliary tuber¬ 
cles Omentum extended to the thoracic cavity and appeared 
to aid m sustaining the heart, in place of pleura folds of medi¬ 
astinum. Liver displaced and very much like a horse chestnut 
in shape; very dark in color and rough on its exterior, situated 
almost entirely on right side of abdomen and resting against in¬ 
ternal abdominal wall. All other organs very pale and waxy in 
color, but otherwise normal in appearance.
