responded, but it being a considerable distance from town, I was 
necessarily some time in arriving. I made a thorough examina¬ 
tion of the parts, and though I had never seen or read of a case 
of eversion of the bladder, yet I soon learned that it was such a 
case I was dealing with, and no mistake. I at once set about to 
devise means for reducing it with as little irritation to the mucous 
membrane of the bladder as possible. I had a mare’s steel cath¬ 
eter, to which I attached the rubber bulb from a human syringe 
and tied it tightly on, so that it was nice and soft and pliable. I 
introduced my right hand into the vagina and held the bladder 
down on the floor, so that when I pressed w r ith the instrument on 
the fundus of the bladder it would not turn back further into the 
vaginal canal but would fold down into the urethal canal, which 
it did, with firm but steady pressure, until it was completely 
reduced. I held it there for ten minutes, during which time she 
made several attempts to force it out again. I had her blanketed 
warmly, and had cloths wrung out of hot water placed over the 
loins, and removed my hand and instrument and she stood quietly, 
except that she voided urine very often, which, on account of the 
irritation of the bladder, she could not retain long at first. I gave 
one injection of tepid water and belladonna and continued the other 
treatment, fed a loose, sparing diet for a few days, and she made 
a speedy and complete recovery.

, For a number of years the stomach pump has been used in 
human practice of medicine, both for therapeutic and diagnostic 
purposes, but in veterinary practice this instrument has been 
almost entirely ignored. In the Berlin hospital for the smaller 
domestic animals the writer often had occasion to observe in doo-s 
loss of appetite and derangement of the digestive functions. 
The animals manifested the following symptoms: great fastidi-
