was evidently a great mass of liquid in the chest. Examination 
of the heart revealed nothing. Thoracentesis was performed, 
and was followed by the escape of three or four quarts of a dirty, 
red colored fluid. Counted microscopically, the red globules and 
the leucocytes were found in the proportion of one to twenty. 
The urine was reddish. The diagnosis being incomplete, a treat¬ 
ment of symptoms was directed, consisting of stimulant and tonic 
ferruginous preparations. 
After six days of this treatment the mare died. At the post 
mortem, on removing the skin, the dependent portion of the chest 
and abdomen were found to be filled with serous infiltration, the 
abdomen containing a small quantity of bloody liquid. A few 
petechia? were found on the peritoneum, some of which were 
under the renal and hepatic capsules, and others on the intestinal 
mucous membrane. The adipose tissue of the left kidney con¬ 
tained a large clot of blood. The ovaries were very large and 
contained a bloody deposit. The thorax was nearly filled with 
a bloody liquid. The costal pleura was covered with petechise, 
the pulmonary portion containing bloody extravasations of various 
sizes. The pulmonary tissue contained hemorrhagic foci, and a 
certain amount of blood was found in the pericardium. The 
nasal mucous membrane under the dura mater in the cerebral 
substance contained small hemorrhagic spots. The cause of 
death was evidently anaemia, resulting from the repeated internal 
hemorrhagic attacks, and asphyxia, produced by the large bloody 
effusionfin the pleura .—Annates de Belgique. 
RABIES AND PSEUDO-RABIES IN'THE‘DOG. 
By Mr. F. Hendriokx. 
The diagnosis of dumb-rabies being ordinarily determined by 
the presence of several symptoms, and sometimes even of one 
alone, (the paralysis of the lower jaw), which is common to 
several affections, it may easily happen that it is entirely erro¬ 
neous, or at least of a very doubtful character. 
A bitch had for three days presented some very peculiar 
symptoms. Her habits were quite changed and she became dull
