indicated in the photograph. Yon can imagine my surprise 
upon removal of the shoe and leather to find the large cavity 
in the foot indicated by the dark spot which I have lined out. 
It reached from the toe almost to the quarters, and ran up be¬ 
tween the sole and the shell three and a quarter inches by. meas¬ 
urement. What surprised me most was why the horse did not 
travel dead lame. I put a clamp on the hoof to keep the horn 
from cracking more, and on the foot I put a bar shoe, with a 
broad piece running from the toe almost to the bars, just enough 
to support the sole, which was badly dropped and almost worn 
through. He went, so the owner informs me, all right for two 
days, then began again to flinch, only not so much as formerly.

ENGLISH REVIEW. 
Tuberculosis of the Horse [By A. Cartwright , Esq .].— 
This is the case of a six-year-old pony, which showed all the 
familiar symptoms of a severe attack of strangles, accompanied 
towards the end by colicky pains, suggesting the probability of 
some abdominal complications. After six months of observation 
and treatment, the animal was destroyed, and at the post-mortem 
the liver and spleen were found to be the seat of numerous hard, 
whitish, dry deposits of tubercular nature. All the other organs 
were healthy.— {Vet. Journi) . ] 
Diphtheritic Condition of the Urinary Bladder [By 
Mr. H. Sisarry] .—At the post-mortem of a cow that died from 
complications following parturition, all the organs were found 
healthy with the exception of the bladder, which presented 
a very peculiar appearance. It contained about a quart of black 
fluid, its walls were greatly thickened and were covered by 
nodular masses ; on scraping these a blood-stained membrane 
was detached, showing ragged-looking ulcerous patches below .

Fracture of the Premaxillary [By Alr.J. M. Stewart]. 
_This was an interesting case, on account of the manner m 
which the accident occurred and with the rapidity recovery 
took place. The subject was a carriage horse, had injured his 
mouth with the rack chain with which he had been playing, 
and while having the chain in his mouth one of his teeth got 
fast in a link and he only got it free after much struggling.
