Hid also of the coronoid process. The fistula was freely 
opened, the fragments removed, the wound washed with car- 
bolized water, and a dressing of carbolized glycerine applied 
over the parts. At first everything seemed to go on well and 
the wound appeared to be progressing favorably toward cica¬ 
trization. After a few days, however, alarming symptoms 
manifested themselves. Fever set in and rapidly increased, 
the digestive functions were disturbed, respiration was ac¬ 
celerated, breath became offensive, secretions of the wound 
bloody, and notwithstanding a severe derivative treatment 
the mare died. 
At the post-mortem the condition of the fracture was con¬ 
firmed. All the internal organs presented interesting lesions. 
Inoculations to guinea pigs of blood taken immediately after 
death being followed by negative results proved that the 
cause of death of the mare was purulent infection and not 
septicaemia.— Ibid. 
A NEW CASE OF UNILATERAL PLEURISY IN A MARE. 
By Mr. Minette. 
The subject was a mare which presented all the character¬ 
istic signs of pleurisy on the right side only, with effusion in 
the lower third of the corresponding pleural sac, viz., absence 
of the respiratory murmur, bronchial breathing on a level 
with the lower third of the right lung, dullness on percussion, 
clicking noise in the right nostril, dyspnoe, convulsive dilata 
tion of the nostrils, short and painful cough, pulse small, in¬ 
termittent, etc. Graduated counter-initation was lesoited 
to, with heroic diuretic internal medication. The case was 
followed by radical recovery in a few days.— Ibid.
