DISLOCATION OF THE RIGHT KIDNEY. 
By E. W. Enderton, M.R.C.V.S., Maybole. 
The subject of the above accident was a valuable brown 
seven-year-old hunter gelding, the property of provost marshal 
of this town. 
On the 22d of October I was called in to treat him for a 
wound on the fore-arm received whilst hunting, from the kick 
of another horse (an entire). This caused him very little incon¬ 
venience, and he was soon ready for exercise.

I ordered him to be well groomed, a mash given, his loins 
rubbed with liniment, and administered a restorative draught. 
At 12 o’clock at night, when I again visited my patient, I

At 8 o’clock I was called down to see him, and found him 
in a pitiful condition, a profuse sweat covering the entire body, 
standing with all four legs drawn together, back extremely
