lytic access followed, the left hind leg seeming powerless to 
support her, and soon after the pulse became imperceptible 
and extremities cold. The upper lip was largely swollen. 
Her miseries were ended by pithing. At the post mortem all 
the sphincters were found to be relaxed. The urine escaped 
by the vulva, and there was a diffused swelling of the body, 
and especially of the left hind leg. The subcutaneous tissues 
were infiltrated with yellow gelatinous serosities and a black¬

muscles, so large in some that they were of a black coloration. 
The septum nasi were dark red, the lymphatic glands swollen. 
The blood of the jugular was dark and very liquid. The car¬ 
tilaginous respiratory tract was congested. The wound of 
tracheotomy was gangrenous. The lungs on their surface 
were covered with black, round spots of various sizes, but

caused the escape of dark incoagulable blood. The costal 
pleura contained petechias here and there. The pericardium 
contained abundant citrine liquid. The heart was pale, the 
ventricles containing large clots of yellow saffron color gela_ 
tinous in aspect and extending into the auricular. The spleen, 
liver and kidneys were anasmic, the small intestines congested 
and the ccecum and colon bloodless .—Revue Veter.
