structures. The glandular pulp was a light red color and the 
malpighian corpuscles were scarcely visible. As a microscopic 
-examination of the blood was not made, a complete diagnosis 
could not be made, but from the lesions above noted this was 
probably a case of leucocythsemia. 
This is the first case of this disease in cattle which it has 
been my opportunity to see. Some months ago like pathological 
lesions were found in a St. Bernard dog belonging to a resident 
of this city. Perhaps this disease is more prevalent among our 
domestic animals than we are wont to think, and I trust such 
cases coming under the observation of the readers of the Review 
will be reported through its columns. 
TWO CASES OF VOMITION WITH DIFFERENT RESUETS. 
By Dr. J. P. Laws, Madison, Wis. 
On the night of October 22, 1896, I was called to a horse be¬ 
longing to the American Express Company that was suffering 
with flatulence. The man that had charge informed me that he 
had given a capsule containing muriate of ammonia and chloral 
hydrate. I gave four ounces of sulphate of sodium, dissolved in 
water, with one ounce of alcohol; also injections per rectum ; re¬

was partially ruptured, and that it was only a matter of time 
until death would be the result. So left stimulants and went 
home. On calling next morning was surprised to find the horse 
alive and seemingly a little better, but 011 examination found 
pulse very soft and weak. Temperature normal, and power of 
deglutition lost. (But was not caused by medicine burning- 
throat and oesophagus.) This condition remained unchanged 
until the third day, when he began to pass faeces ; could swallow 
a little water and feed. From this time on could see no change, 
until death occurred on the morning of Oct. 29. Unfortunately 
could not hold post-mortem. 
In July, 1896, a bay horse suffering with flatulence of the 
stomach was brought to my hospital. I gave it soda sulph., 
dissolved in warm water, with one ounce of sulphuric ether 
added ; repeated dose in thirty minutes, as horse was showing 
more pain. In about twenty minutes after giving the second 
dose horse lowered his head and began vomiting. There was
