Concerning the Therapeutic Effects of Different 
Remedies. — Potassium Bromide. —H. observed a favorable ac¬ 
tion of this remedy in - 12 cases of epilepsy in oxen, swine, and 
goats. Cocaine. —A very valuable, fiery stud had a tear 7 c. m. 
long through the right ala nasi, and could not be approached. 
After soaking the wound with a 15 per cent, solution the animal 
allowed the rent to be sewn up. Potassium Iodide. —S. cured 3 
cases of actinomycosis of the tongue with 8 g. of K. I. given 
daily for 12 days. K. with 6 to 12 g. of K. I. daily achieved 
cure in 9, and improvement in 3 cases of actinomycosis. 
E. likewise achieved the best results with the remedy. H. 
limits himself to the use of K. I. in this disease. . Although K. 
I. does not cause absorption of some actinomycosis still he is in 
general satisfied with the remedy.—( Bert. Thierarzt Wochi) 
A Case of Morphine Idiosyncrasy in a Cow. —Three 
days after an abortion in a cow, vaginal tenesmus set in with a 
discharge of a very foetid, greyish-yellow secretion. Removal 
of the decomposing retained placenta afforded temporary relief 
for that night. Next day, however, tenesmus set in again, so 
severe that 1,0 morphine mur. was injected subcutaneously in 
the region of the neck. Twenty minutes after the injection 
all tenesmus having ceased—very unusual, symptoms of 
excitement set in, viz. : bellowings every minute, with oc¬

the ground of the diagonal pairs of limbs 5 elevations of the 
upper lip with the emissions of puffs similar to those of a horse 
that had just undergone severe exertion; a nearly total cessation 
of milk secretion. Thereupon at 6 P. M. a 60,0 chloral hydrate 
was given per os with the result that total quiet ensued in the 
course of a few hours.—( Schweiz. Archiv. f. Thierhlk. )
