The next morning 1 he appeared dull and could scarcely 
iove without assistance, his temperature being 103° F. The 
7 °und was dressed, and looked very well. Milk and also 
r ater were given and freely partaken of in large quantities, 
ut the latter was immediately followed by vomiting, due to 
sympathetic gastric disturbance. The next day his temper- 
“Ure was 104 F., but although he appeared brighter the 
omiting still occurred. Opium and sub-nitrate of bismuth 
ith milk punch were then administered. 
The third day following the operation his temperature 
)se to 108 0 F., and he refused food and appeared dull and 
^&§dsh, and stimulants were administered. On the morning 
L the fourth day he was found dead, and a post-mortem ex- 
nination was held, which revealed nothing abnormal. 
The tumor was irregularly elliptical, flattened from side 
> side, and measuring seven and one-half inches in its larger 
id five inches in its shorter circumference, weighing five 
inces. 
| What was the cause of death? The operation had been 
j successful as it could be, and care was taken to avoid in- 
olving or injuring the nervous structure connected with the 
; ands, and yet this is the second case which within a few 
onths has appeared in thb Review, similiar in its history, its 
ature, its treatment, and I regret to say its result. Why should 
1 is comparatively simple operation, which has been success- 
lily performed in larger animals, be followed by such bad 
1 suits in the dog ? Is there anything in the anatomical posi- 
bn of the organ or its anatomical connections and relations 
tat may account for the fatal result? Whatever it may be 
j would seem that here is a problem which physiology might 
Up us to solve.
