in the Montana Circuit. 
We operated on St. Omar (a running horse by St. Blaise, 
dam Olitippa, by Leamington) on June 30th; he was a bad 
roarer, making quite a noise while walking. He can trot and 
gallop slowly now without making a sound, and is, to all ap¬

EXPERIMENTAL OBSERVATIONS ON THE LIGATURE OF THE 
HEPATIC ARTERY. 
By N. de Dominiois. 
The ligature of the hepatic artery would necessarily be 
mortal; it stops the glycogenic function of the liver 
(Arthand and Butte). The author renews the experiments 
He observes that all animals subjected to the ligature of this 
vessel, with or without biliary fistula, live perfectly well 
They eat, and digest well, and get fat. In a few, and only in the 
first days after the operation, sugar is found in the urine 
after the ligation of the artery, a supplementary, anastamotic 
circulation is formed by branches of the coronary, mesenteric 
mammary, epigastric, phrenic, spermatic, etc. The blood oi 
the portal vein is, however, sufficient for the nutrition anc 
the function of the organ.— Rev. des. Sc. Med.

PANCREAS IN DOGS. 
By G. Boooaedi. 
The author has investigated subjects killed from tht 
second, third, fourth, fifth and ninth days after the operation 
to two months and a half. In the ten dogs upon which ht 
performed the operation, he observed : 1st, constant loss 0 
flesh, more or less marked, even when the animals receivec 
an abundant diet; 3d, slight microscopical alterations in tht 
digestive canal; only a more or less marked anaemia ; ai
