tion is finished by applying carbolized oil to the wound, fol¬ 
lowed by an antiseptic dressing; subsequently the parts are 
washed daily with antiseptic solutions, and sprayed with iodo-

work.— Ibid. 
INOCULATION OP SWINE WITH ANTHRAX. 
By Prof. Perronoito. 
Two young pigs received in the subcutaneous cellular tis¬ 
sue of the thigh an injection of carbuncular bacteridia. Five 
days later, a warm, painful tumor appeared at the point of in¬ 
oculation, rapidly increasing in size, and death occurred in 
eight days. 
Lesions of anthrax were found at the post-mortem in the 
muscles, the abdominal cavity, the spleen and the organs of 
circulation. Cultures made with the abdominal serosity of 
these pigs were successful, and the inoculation of guinea-pigs 
with the same serosity kills them in thirty-six hours. — Giornale

TUBERCULOSIS OF THE TESTICLES IN A BULL. 
By tiie Same. 
The subject in this case was a three-year-old bull, which at 
a meat inspection was seized on suspicion of' generalized tu¬ 
berculosis. Besides the lesions on the pleura, the pericar- 
diums, the peritoneum and the mesentery, the testicles were 
also involved in the tuberculous process. 
The vaginal sac was also covered with tubercles, and the 
fibrous envelops, as well as the glandular structure of the 
testicles, showed a great number of tuberculous deposits, 
some of which were also found along the spermatic cord. 
It is pretty certain that the bacilli were ejected with the 
sperm at the time of copulation .—Ibid.
