REPORTS OF CASES.

became restless and I repeated the dose, when it again had the 
same effect of relieving all pain. She then remained compara¬ 
tively quiet until the next day, in the meantime receiving the 
belladonna and calabar bean. She took some nourishment in 
the way of gruels. On the evening of the 21st she had a small 
passage, and from that time on she began to slowly improve. 
On the 27th, from some cause, probably the noise about the 
hospital, she had a relape and again became very nervous and 
excitable. I then moved her into an out-of-the-way stall, 
where she would not be molested but little, and she again 
began to slowly improve, lying down at intervals of every three 
or four nights. 
In about three weeks she took distemper very badly, and 
coughed very much, and had a profuse discharge from the 
nostrils. I gave her the usual treatment, and in ten day she 
had recovered from that. She remained very stiff and the 
muscles very rigid, especially in the leg that she had been lame 
in. She was sent home on February 1st, still very stiff, but 
eating and feeling well. The muscles of the jaws had relaxed 
completely, and she could eat as well as ever. 
At the present writing (February 7th) she is doing well, and 
will, in all probability, be well in three weeks. The object of 
writing this is to report the effect of eserine and pilocarpine. I 
do not know if it was the drug or the condition of the system 
which caused the peculiarity of its action. 
A DOUBLE MONSTER PROBABLY OF THE HETERALIAN ORDER. 
By H. B. Ambler, D.V.S., Chatham, N. Y. 
On the evening of January 4th I was called to attend a cow 
in labor. I found a six-year-old cow that had been in violent 
labor some time, but her pains had grown considerably weaker. 
Upon examination, I found the foetus in a posterior presen¬ 
tation, three hind legs and two tails in the vagina. The foetal 
fluids had all escaped, foetus dead, the uterus hot and swoollen 
• from the constant contraction against the foetus and the various
