2d Obsv. Chestnut mare, fourteen years. For six years 
has never been sick. Her work is moderate, she feels well. 
For the last two months she has failed in flesh, she is less active, 
she stops while at work, she lays down when in the stable as an 
animal that is tired, she has yet good appetite, a moderate 
drinker in time past, she has now great thrist, urine normal. 
The symptoms are: Yellow mucous membrane, ausculta¬ 
tion negative, rectal exploration without result, temperature 
normal, easily tired when urged to trot, and then the respiration 
is labored and rapid. She has at times profuse sweating all 
over the body. Notwithstanding a tonic treatment of arsenic, 
she grows rapidly worse, and is ultimately destroyed. 
Post-mortem: the liver is enlarged, weighing over eighteen 
pounds, Glisson capsule is readily torn, the hepatic tissue soft and 
reduced in a mass similar to that of the preceding case ; kidneys 
very large but normal. All the other organs healthy. 
These two cases of softening of the liver in two different 
species of animals are certainly interesting as far as theii symp¬ 
toms, their lesions and also the length of time of their exis¬ 
tence.— Ibid.
