Pancreatic Degeneration in a Horse. —A four-year-old 
stallion in spite of a good appetite kept emaciating more and 
more since March. Hater it was noticed that drops of blood 
issued from under the periople at the crown of the hoof and the 
“ chestnuts” appeared to be pushed off. By June 19th an ex¬ 
tensive exudate of bloody serum showed itself at the junction of 
the hoof with the matrix in all four feet. The hoof was sepa¬ 
rated from its matrix in parts by the pressure of pus. A similar 
pathological process appeared in the chestnuts. The animal was 
markedly lame, had a pulse of 42 and a temperature of 38.8° C. 
The further course of the disease resembled purpura haemor- 
rhagica, the same swelling of limbs, abdomen, and sheath ; the 
nostrils were excoriated and the eyelids swollen. The mallein 
test gave a negative result. On Dec. 12, 1895, an examination 
at the Royal Vet. Hospital, gave the following congerie of 
symptoms : Temp. 39 0 C. ; pulse 48 ; respiration 9. The animal 
was markedly emaciated, the hind legs were swollen, there were 
many excoriations upon the hind legs, many sores over the sur¬ 
face of the body, the lips were cedematous, the eyelids swollen, 
a thick mucoid discharge issued from the eyes, a thin serous 
discharge from the nostrils, there was no glandular swelling; 
the horse was very lame, one knee was swollen and thickened ; 
there were excoriations upon the coronet and glomes of the 
frog; upon one hoof the frog lay free ; there was no abnormal 
odor. On Dec. 15th, tuberculin was injected with no reaction. 
The animal became worse rapidly and death ensued upon Dec. 
24, 1895. Autopsy showed a remarkable change in the pan-
