SEVEN CALCULI IN THE ABOMASUM OF A HEIFER. 
By M. Ch. Tyvaert. 
A heifer and an ox were both affected with symptoms of 
tympanitis, for which they received similar treatment. This 
relieved the ox, but the heifer, notwithstanding the adminis- 
tration of a second dose oi medicine, continued to grow 
worse. When seen by the author the following symptoms 
appealed: The animal was lying down, pulse weak and 
accelerated ; respiration shorf and irregular; nose dry ; ears 
and horns cold ; head extended on the neck ; face dull and 
anxious ; eyes dull and widely open ; salivation abundant; 
rumen not distended. She was killed, and at the post-mor¬ 
tem the entire organism was found perfectly healthy except 
that in the abomasum, embedded between the second and 
third stomachs, a mass appeared, resembling cork, of seven 
calculi, perfectly moulded on each other’s surface and bound 
together with organic matter, and interfering with the pas¬ 
sage of the food into the fourth stomach.— Ann. de Med. Vet.

lowing appearances: The body became rigid ; eyes staring; 
head extended and resting on the manger ; grinding the teeth; 
jaws moving as if chewing; abundant salivation. After a 
few minutes these symptoms relaxed and the animal mictura¬ 
ted profusely ; then in a frenzied manner she licked the right 
stifle region, the leg of the same side striking on the ground. 
Phere was no wound or cicatrix on the body ; the temper¬ 
ature was normal ; the pulse and respiration were slightly 7
