ing found the records of only two fatal cases published 
in the Recneil de Medecine Veterinaire in 1892, records two 
other cases which he had occasion to observe in his practice 
as army veterinarian. The first case is that of an animal 
which had strangles, mild in appearance, but seemed to have 
recovered, and was put to work, when he was taken with 
abdominal pains, which assumed such a character that he 
was destroyed. The post mortem revealed lesions of long 
standing, no doubt going back to the time of his first ailment. 
A large quantity of purulent, gray-reddish, foetid fluid with 
floating masses of pus and necrosed tissues. The peritoneum 
with chronic lesions, extending upon the various parts of the 
intestines and gluing the folds of the small intestines to¬ 
gether. Among these a large phlegmonous cavity adherent 
to the thickened peritoneum and situated in the left flank and 
near the left kidney. 
The second case is somewhat similar, the horse, however, 
dying from a rupture of the stomach, but presenting at the 
post mortem not only the lesions of the torn viscera, but also 
a large abscess of the size of a child’s head and containing 
granular pus, white-gray in color, odorless and undergoing 
degeneration. This was also situated in the left side of the 
abdomen and near the left kidney.

A CASE OF PHARYNGO-LARYNGEAL PARALYSIS. 
By Mr. J. Hamoir. 
This is an interesting case of a young horse which was 
affected with symptoms of pharyngitis in the month of Feb¬ 
ruary, 1894, some three months later giving evidence of 
laryngeal complications which justified the diagnosis of par¬ 
alysis of the two apparatuses, the pharynx and the larynx. 
Besides the usual manifestations of impossible deglutition, 
abundant salivation, discharge through the nostrils of food 
mixed with mucus, an intermittent roaring occurred at
