SOCIETY MEETINGS. 
(human) forceps, succeeded in drawing away about one pint of 
sebaceous matter which very closely resembled that found in 
the sheath of a healthy horse. 
After having removed all the solid matter, washed out blad¬ 
der with solution of creoline, and closed wound with two inter¬ 
rupted sutures. 
Case made a very satisfactory recovery. Question, what 
caused an accumulation of this character ? 
Second case, presenting similar symptoms, proved on exam¬ 
ination to be suffering from enlargement of prostrate glands. 
Case made good recovery under pot. iodide treatment. Dr. 
J. I. Gibson, of Denison, la., reported a case of uterine torsion in 
a cow which he relieved by ropeing the cow, and with his hand 
introduced into the uterus as far as possible, he held it from turn¬ 
ing while assistants rolled the cow same direction as the torsion, 
by this means the torsion was reduced and the cow delivered of 
a live calf. 
The object of rolling the cow in same direcction as the tor¬ 
sion, is to have the cow catch up with the uterus so to speak. 
Complete report of this case will be sent you in near future. 
Dr. G. A. Johnson reported a case of puncture of perineum 
of a mare in foal, that extended along the side of and partially 
under the vagina and bladder into the abdominal cavity. 
The wound was large enough to permit the hand to be 
passed into the abdominal cavity. 
Case made a satisfactory recovery. All report of cases was 
fully discussed. 
It was decided to hold the next meeting of the association in 
this city some time during the early part of July.
