In a second case a ratting cow had mounted a weak calf, 
which fell under the weight, and afterward showed lameness. 
The right hind leg was hardly placed upon the ground, and was 
made to take very little share in sustaining the body weight. 
The lumbar region was bowed as a result of the position as¬ 
sumed; rectal examination showed fracture of the ileum. 
In a third case the lameness appeared after an easy parturi¬ 
tion. The animal could not manipulate the right posterior limb, 
upon which, externally, nothing could be noted. By rotating 
the leg, crepitation could be plainly distinguished. Animal 
slaughtered. 
Another cow had manifested lameness fourteen days, and 
became thinner. The right hind leg was favored, and the 
patient threatened to fall when not supported. Enlargement of 
the femoro-tibial articulation was plainly visible, although no 
pain was evinced upon palpation. A swelling was discovered 
by the introduced hand, upon the lateral wall of the pelvic cav¬ 
ity, which was of a painful character, and which proved to be a 
fracture of the iliac branch.— Deutch. Thier . Woc/i. 
HEMOGLOBINURIA. 
A horse developed the above affection from a drench of 
naphthaline. An eight-year-old Danish gelding was brought 
to the Dresden Clinic, with the history that the day previous 
he had received the above drench for the removal of colic; and 
that since the inhibition of this substance he had passed bloody 
urine. 
The patient had been regularly worked, and no signs of a 
paraplegia of the posterior extremities was visible. After the 
appearance of pain the owner gave what he supposed, or at 
least meant, to be magnesium sulphate, but which in fact was 
coal tar naphthaline. Pulse, temperature and respiration re¬ 
mained normal ; conjunctiva intensely jaundiced. Appetite 
wanting. Urine freely passed, and without pain, and of a dark 
red color; aromatic odor and alkaline reaction; specific weight 
1.025. The naphthalin test was unavailing in the detection of
