EXTRACTS FROM EXCHANGES.

often she carried her neck on the side. It is the second case 
the author has met in his practice.— {Rev, Veter .) 
A Case of Vomiting in the Horse.—M. G. Viand records 
in the Revue Veterinaire this case of a filly which during 
a severe attack of violent colic, gastric indigestion, vomited at 
three or four different times a mixture of partly crushed oats 
and glairy mucous. These expulsions took place both from the 
mouth and through the nose almost without contraction. At 
the end the animal coughed a few times, as if to clear her 
windpipe, and was entirely relieved. The case shows once 
more that vomiting can take place in the horse without rupture 
of the stomach. 
Multiple Synovitis of the Anterior Biped of a Horse 
[By Mr. Sicard ].—Under this heading the author reports a 
case, evidently of rheumatoid nature, of a young horse which, 
first affected with lameness of the right shoulder, was some 
months later taken on both fore feet with symptoms characteris¬ 
tic of rheumatism, all the articulations and synovial structures 
being more or less affected. The animal was submitted at first 
to mild treatment of local sedative applications, of setons in the 
shoulder, and the administration of diuretics, but did not show 
any improvement until the entire lower part of the extremities 
were fired. Some 400 points of firing were applied from the 
knee down to the coronet, and the first effects of the operation 
having subsided, the lameness disappeared in two weeks, and 
the animal resumed his work.— {Rev. Vet.) 
Pharyngo-Uaryngeae Angina. —In the June number of 
the Revue Veterinaire , Mr. G. Viand records the case of an 
animal affected with distemper, which showed the symptoms of 
pharyngo-laryngeal angina with such severity that tracheotomy 
had to be performed at once. This was followed by the admin¬ 
istration of gargles, made of water and aleoholate of iodine. 
Two of these were sufficient to bring on a well-marked improve¬ 
ment. Nasal douches of cresyled water were administered in 
connection with the gargles. 
Tearing of the Externae Projection of the Femoral 
Condyle—Consecutive Arthritis.—A Norman horse when 
lying down is suddenly whipped by a driver and by violent 
effort attempts to jump, misses his footing, falls on the right 
side, but at last succeeds in standing. He is lame for a few 
days and then his walk is normal. Two or three months later, 
the attention of Mr. Dupont is called to him, who finds that the 
horse is very lame with an acute arthritis of the right femoral
