indigestion. Not all cases on which I have used the combined 
drugs are susceptible to its sudorific action; the older and more 
debilitated or the younger, the more noticeible, while in good, 
strong, middle-aged animals I have rarely witnessed it. 
While I do not believe the combined drugs are a cure-all, yet 
I think they can be advantagously used. In all cases of immo¬ 
bility and the various forms of colic, where there are malpositions 
of the alimentary canal, in such cases they may do harm. I have 
used the combined drugs with good success in azoturia, and also 
parturient apoplexy in the cow. 
EVERSION OF THE BLADDER.

Mr. Editor: 
Though a stranger to you, I ask space in your journal with a 
view to contributing to veterinary science. The subject of this 
communication is eversion of the bladder in a mare, which is, so 
far as I can ascertain, seldom if ever met with by veterinary 
practitioneers. 
The case in point was an imported Norman mare, belonging 
to Mr. F. A. Decker, of the Groveland Stock Farm, Iowa, where 
I was at that time pursuing the duties of my vocation as a vete¬ 
rinarian. It was discovered soon after parturition, which had 
been performed with considerable difficulty. I account for it in 
the following manner, but am not sure as to the correctness of 
my view: 
The foetus must have had one of its fore feet down in front 
of the pubis in the pelvic cavity and pressing in the region over 
the fundus of the bladder, and when the uterine contractions came 
on must have turned the body of the bladder back into the 
urethral canal and, as the mare strained, it was everted. 
After foaling the urine was seen to dribble constantly and 
the mare still continued to strain, and after the placenta was 
expelled the owner discovered the reddened mass protruding 
between the lips of the vulva, and, supposing it to be the uterus, 
at once telegraphed me to come and replace it, to which I at once
