REPORTS OF CASES. 277 
Treatment .—Ether sulphuric, tr. of ginger, hyposulphite 
of soda were given as a drench. Injections of warm water 
and oil were given per rectum, but no encouragement fol¬ 
lowed. 
Post mortem .—The stomach contained ingesta of cracked 
corn and hay, a part of which had been emptied into the abdom¬ 
inal cavity through an artificial opening. 
There was a brownish discoloration of the internal or 
epithelial surface of the left cul-de-sac, with normal patches of 
tissue intermingled. A portion of this discoloration was made 
up of cicatricial tissue, presenting a polished surface. In this 
portion of the stomach was an opening about the size and 
apparently as round as a quarter of a dollar. 
An examination showed that an ulcerative process had 
existed for some time, and that all of the layers had been 
eaten through but the serous, which was ruptured at the time 
of the distension of this organ by gas. 
There were a number of ulcerations, varying from the size 
of a fine shot, to the largest size buckshot, but none had eaten 
so deeply as the first mentioned. 
There was a rupture in the inferior portion of the right 
cul-de-sac in the direction of its long diameter, about five inches 
from the pyloric orifice, of ten inches in extent; an ulcerative 
process had destroyed much of the tissue along this line. 
Blood was found in the small intestines, and a large quan¬ 
tity with water in the abdominal cavity. 
The left lobe of the liver was in a putrid condition.

Amongst the various diseases affecting the tegumental 
system of the horse, few are so intractable, or cause so much 
dissatisfaction and worry to the veterinary practitioner as a 
genuine case of Grease. 
The following is a short record of a case which came 
under our observation a short time ago, and as it has just 
recurred to our mind incidentally, we take pleasure in for-
