the chorea remained. Had restricted dog to well soaked bread

Suppurative Phlebitis. — Deep Abscess of the 
Shoulder. —Mr. K. Jombert relates this case, which occurred in 
his practice on a three-year-old stallion which was suffering, with 
an attack of generalized distemper. He had first abscesses in.the 
sub-maxillary space, then on both thighs, and presented besides 
all the indications of a severe attack of bronchitis. Among the 
indications of treatment, the horse had been bled in the jugular. 
The patient did well as far as his attack of distemper went, but 
some four weeks after the wound of the jugular had not yet 
healed; and, besides, was very lame on the right, fore leg, with 
a large swelling towards its posterior border. This pro\ ed to be 
a very deep and large abscess from which five quarts of pus were 
subsequently allowed to escape. The constant discharge.which 
prevented the closing of the jugular wound was due to inflam¬ 
mation of the vein (phlebitis). This was treated b} the applica¬ 
tion of a large blister, which was repeated daily, with the alter¬ 
native application of warm poultices of flaxseed to avoid a 
slough of the skin. This treatment of the phlebitis proved very 
satisfactory in a few days, the discharge subsiding, the indura¬ 
ted cord of the vein gradually disappeared and the parts healed 
without leaving any blemishes.—(- Rec . de Med. J et.) 
Rheumatismal Synovitis and Endocarditis — [Mr. 
Filliatre ].—The object of this record is to show that the exist¬ 
ence of synovitis and of endocarditis are not rare, as might be 
indicated by the poverty of veterinary publications on this sub¬ 
ject. An animal lame on the left hind leg with an acute synov¬ 
itis of the great sesamoid sheath, was brought to the author, who, 
considering it of rheumatic nature, carefully auscultated the 
heart and detected a mitral sound well marked towards the base 
of the heart. The treatment prescribed consisted in the daily 
administration of one of the following powders :
