TUBERCULOSIS OF THE EYE IN CATTLE. 
By M. Moncet. 
Ocular tuberculosis has been but frequently observed in 
bovines, not more than six cases being recorded by Mathieu, 
Hess, Roeder and Edelmann. The author reports one case 
which he observed in an eight-year-old cow. The animal 
was in fair condition, coat perhaps a little staring, but the 
skin was supple, with little or no adherence to the ribs; 
there was no discharge, no abnormal sensibility of the chest. 
No information given as to the cough. The left eye was 
slightly atrophied and presented upon almost the entire cor¬ 
nea granulations of various dimensions, gray-yellowish in 
color, between which the cornea could be seen in spots with 
its ordinary aspect. Sight was entirely gone. ‘ Examination 
with the ophthalmoscope was impossible on account of the 
opacity of the cornea. The right eye was healthy. 
At the post mortem tuberculous lesions were found in 
the thoraciq and abdominal cavities, and the histological ex¬ 
amination of the eye, with experiments and cultures made of 
the granulations and other lesions of the eye, confirmed the 
nature of the disease and the correctness of the diagnosis.—

INJECTIONS OF VAN SWIETEN LIQUOR IN THE TREATMENT 
OF TRAUMATIC SYNOVITIS AND ARTHRITIS. 
By Mr. Labat. 
The satisfactory results obtained with this form of treat¬ 
ment have suggested its frequent use in traumatism around 
the principal articulations, and, as results, Mr. Labat reports 
his observations among five principal cases which justify 
him to a distinction in the condition of the wounds. These 
five observations include one of suppurative synovitis of 
the tarsal sheath in a horse, one of arthritis and suppurative 
synovitis of the knee in a mare, one of suppurative arthritis 
of the stifle in a mare, one of arthritis of the knee with 
suppuration, and one of synovitis of the sheath of the anterior 
extensor of the phalanges in a mare.
