PYOMETRA IN A CAT. 
391 
States Veterinary Medical Association is to take place; that 
two days will be employed in the transaction of business, read¬ 
ing of papers, discussions, etc., and that the entire proceedings 
are to be under the guidance and hospitality of these good vet¬ 
erinarians, the Pennsylvanians. Every one who can must be 
there. Everyone will be there? And if any are prevented 
from being present we hope, if we are favored with copies of all 
the proceedings, to present these to our readers and show them 
what they have missed by being absent. 
New York State Veterinary Society.— This month 
also the annual meeting of this society will take place. Im¬ 
portant papers are promised. The veterinarians of the Excel¬ 
sior State are hard at work. No doubt it will be a good 
meeting also. 
Van Swieten Solution.— In compliance with the desire 
of some of our readers who have expressed their wish to try 
this preparation as suggested in our July issue, for the treat¬ 
ment of suppurative articular diseases, we give here the mode 
of preparation for veterinary purposes, which differs but little 
from that used in human medicine. After all it is only a 
bichloride of mercury solution. 
E Corrosive sublimate, 4 grammes (1 drachm). 
Alcohol, 90 grammes (3 ounces). 
Distilled water, liters (2% quarts). 
After pulverizing the bichloride, it is dissolved in the alcohol 
and the water added to it.

PYOMETRA IN A GAT. 
By T. S. Cullen, M.B., Assistant Resident Gynecologist, 
The J*hns Hopkins Hospital. 
It has been thought advisable to publish this case on account 
of the apparent rarity of the affection, and also, because both 
cornua uteri reached such an immense size.
