INTRA-TRACHEAL INJECTIONS IN BRONCHITIS VERMINALIS. 
By Kriwonogow. 
In an outbreak of this disease, where several forms of 
treatment had failed, intra-trachael injections of eight grammes 
of the following solution relieved the calves that were yet 
diseased : Essence of clover and spirits of turpentine, of each 
360 grammes, with thirty grammes each of phenic acid and 
olive oil. Two injections were sufficient to bring on im¬ 
provement ; after the fourth dead filaria were expectorated.—

By M. Beylot. 
Like many others in that location, this abscess had resisted 
the progress of maturation, and notwithstanding blistering and 
poulticing, the animal was threatened with suffocation. When 
the author was called to see the patient, she presented all the 
symptoms of the most violent dyspnoea, due to the presence 
in the left parotid region of an enormous abscess, in which 
the suppuration was still too deep to be detected. Seen first 
at night, and the exploration of so vascular a region being 
dangerous, a tracheotomy tube was improvised, the operation 
performed, and followed by immediate relief to the patient. 
The next day a better instrument was procured and put in 
place, and the animal being in much better condition, was al¬ 
lowed all the nourishment she was willing to take. On the 
second day fluctuation was detected and the abscess was 
opened with the actual cautery, a yellowish, thick, creamy pus 
escaping. The wound of the tracheotomy had a foetid odor 
and there was a slight swelling of the left hind leg and careful 
antiseptic washing was recommended. Forty-eight hours af¬ 
ter, the animal was relieved of the tube, the abscess discharg¬ 
ing freely, the wound of the neck being still very offensive. 
The appetite was fair. The left side of the upper lip was the 
seat of a small swelling. During the evening the animal was
