With this a blister was applied* 011 the diseased synovial 
sheath. Recovery was rapid. 
Some three months later, the animal was again laid up with 
difficulty in breathing, after a short work. After ten minutes of 
trotting he showed the following symptoms : Well marked short 
breathing, violent cardial strokes, muscular tremblings at the 
elbow and at the stifle. At the auscultation, the initial sound 
exists yet, but not so loud as at the first examination; the pulse 
is small and irregular. The animal was destroyed.—(It is to be 
regretted that the post-mortem is not recorded).— R. de M.V 
Jaundice in a Dog. —In the Bulletin of Veterinary Dosi¬ 
metry the following case is recorded : A nine-year-old spaniel 
dog, excellent for shooting, was suffering with jaundice; the 
conjunctiva, the gums were of the characteristic color, the pulse 
weak, no appetite, great dullness, etc. With little hope of sav¬ 
ing him Mr. Viand prescribed 2 granules of hyoscyamine, 1 of 
brucine and 1 of digitaline, the four to be taken togethei and 
repeated every two hours. Black coffee with bouillon of car¬ 
rots was also administered. A large mustard poultice was 
placed under the abdomen the following day. 48 hours later 
slight improvement 5 the dog is more lively and eats some. This 
improvement continued until the seventh or eighth day, when 
all symptoms having subsided, the treatment was stopped and 
the animal returned to his sport. 
Facial Paralysis in a Dog Due to Tuberculous 
Otitis. —In the Review of Toulouse Mr. Montfallet repoits an 
interesting case of a pointer dog which was consideied as a sus¬ 
pect of rabies. The symptoms which he presented, viz., ap¬ 
pearance of being in pain, excessive loss of flesh, marked emaci¬ 
ation of the muscles of the left temporo-maxillary region; 
dropping of the lower lip, slightly deviated to the left, while the 
upper lip at the nose is drawn on the right; ears drooping, 
strabismus of the left eye ; difficult mastication and deglutition; 
abundant flow of saliva and collections of food in the mouth ; no 
alteration in the sound of the voice ; all pointed to a different 
diagnosis, that of facial paralysis. On further inquiry it was 
learned that for some time back the poor animal had been suffer¬ 
ing with auricular catarrh, which by examination of the dis¬ 
charge showed a large number of streptococcus pyogines. The
