ABSCESS OF THE SKIN AFTER TREATMENT WITH BROMIDE OF 
POTASSA. 
By Saed. 
In treating a case of traumatic lockjaw, the author used 
bromide of potassa for three days, in large doses, exceeding 
two ounces a dav, which was followed on the fifth day by a 
vesicular eruption on the skin. The vesicles ulcerated, and 
at the same time the four legs became largely swollen. After 
these manifestations the trismus and the symptoms of te¬ 
tanus subsided and the animal recovered, although the 
trouble of the skin required a long time to heal.— Repert. d.

CARCINOMA OF THE BLADDER. 
By Professor Friedberger. 
A mare twenty years old, without any apparent cause or 
external symptoms, passed reddish urine, containing clots of 
blood. On passing the finger in the urethra, a thickening of 
the mucous membrane was observed, and rectal examination 
revealed the pressure on the head of the bladder of a tumor 
about the size of a pigeon’s egg. A diagnosis was made of 
hemorrhagic cystitis, due to the presence of a tumor. The 
animal died and the post mortem confirmed the diagnosis, the 
bladder containing several nodosities of various sizes, resem¬ 
bling the cerebral substance in structure. The lumbar gang¬ 
lions were softened and hypertophied, the heart was fatty, 
and the lungs sedematous.— Wochenschr. f. Thierh.
