accelerated; the milk was still secreted; the appetite and 
rumination were normal, as were urination and defecation. 
The attack was followed by another several hours after, and 
by a third an hour or two after. The light never incom¬ 
moded her and she was indifferent to the sight of a hen. Two 
days later she was entirely well with the exception of the irri¬ 
tation at the stifle, which was gradually subsiding. Some 
days later the author was called to another case, also of a cow, 
four years old, that had calved three days previously, and had 
cleaned and was in full milking condition. She was agitated 
and uneasy ; struck her horns right and left; licked her left 
fore-arm; salivated abundantly; bit surrounding objects; 
her back was arched ; her urine scanty and expelled by 
strong expulsive efforts ; faeces hard'and coated. As in the 
other case the temperature, respiration and pulse were nor¬ 
mal. After two successive attacks the animal recovered her 
normal condition and became entirely well. The treatment 
was symptomatic and expectant —Ann. of Med. Vet. 
CONTRIBUTION TO THE HISTORY OF FACTURES—FRACTURE OF 
THE ORBITAL PROCESS IN A HORSE—IRREDUCTIBILITY 
—TREPHINING- RECOVERY. 
By N. F. Hendryx. 
A mare, eight years old, while going down a stiff hill fell, 
and striking against a lamp post, received a severe contusion 
upon the head. When seen she had a wound over the right 
superior eyelid on a line with the orbital process. 1 he eve 
was almost entirely closed by thickening of the lids, as by the 
dropping of the bony apophysis. There was a fracture close 
to the temporal angle of the eye. The conjunctiva was torn 
by the sharp edge of the bone. Failing to reduce the frac¬ 
ture by external manipulation, the author decided to trephine 
the right frontal sinus, and by the aid of an iron lever suc¬ 
ceeded in raising the fractured process to its normal position* 
The wound was well disinfected and its edges sewed te¬ 
ther, and antiseptic dressings were applied over the parts. 
Everything proceeded favorably with the exception of the 
infiltration of the cornea, which was rather tedious to remove.
