A Cure for Roaring in Horses. —The announcement has 
been made of the discovery by the celebrated English veterinar¬ 
ian, Dr. Fleming, of a mode of curing the vice of roaring in the 
horse by an operation upon the larynx. A number of cases are 
reported, though we have not as yet received a circumstantial ac¬ 
count of them. The Live Stock Journal (London) refers to them 
in a manner which implies a favorable opinion of the success of 
the method, but thinks it would be premature to pronounce abso¬ 
lutely at this time. 
Dr. Fleming himself, in a note to the Journal , speaks on this 
wise : 
“Yesterday (June 4th) the veterinary surgeon at Woolwich 
who is in charge of the cases, reported that the horse operated on 
at the same time as the one already announced as cured, was per¬ 
fectly well. The animal had been galloped for a long time and 
made no noise, neither did it exhibit the least distress. Both the 
cases were so bad that they could not go many yards without 
making a startling noise and stopping for want of breath. A 
third horse was operated on a week ago, but we have not had it 
out of the stable yet. The operation gives promise of being suc¬ 
cessful, as, indeed, I predicted it would from my previous study 
of the disease—anatomically and pathologically. There is, unfor¬ 
tunately, ample scope for the operation, even among army horses, 
and we shall soon have a number under treatment. Then we 
will be able to arrive at a definite conclusion. For the present 
we can say that so far the operation has been a complete success,
