REPORTS OF CASES. 
food, I found a supernumerary tooth that had grown out 
into the cheek, at an angle of about 45 0 , from between the 
roots of the second and third molar teeth of the right super¬ 
ior maxillary. I extracted the tooth, which measured live- 
eighths of an inch and three inches long. The tooth had 
almost cut through the cheek. The parts were cleansed anti- 
septically, which healed rapidly, and the mare soon regained 
her former condition. 
DOUBLE FECUNDATION—DIFFICULT DELIVERY. 
By the Same. 
I was called twelve miles in the country to a three-year- 
old Jersey cow, that the owner said had been trying to calve 
for two weeks. 
I found her having an occasional light labor pain and dull; 
temperature 102°, and pulse 50°. An examination revealed 
a complete obliteration of the os uteri, and as I could not 
find an opening, I made a T-shaped incision through the parts 
with an embrytom, which allowed a portion of the liquor 
amnii to escape. 
I then delivered a living calf, and on inserting the hand to 
remove the placenta I found another foetus, which was de¬ 
livered alive. 
I then removed the foetal membranes, washed out the 
uterus, gave the cow a stimulant and had the calves cared 
for. The cow and calves recovered and did well. This was 
the cow’s second parturition, and the occlusion was probably 
due to development of cicatricial tissue from injuries sustained 
in her previous parturition.

Something over a year ago he was brought to my office
