March nth and 12th he was the same as on the 10th, his 
wound continuing to heal well. The horse was discharged 
from the hospital. 
April 4th, he made some noise but works well without a 
tube, but there is some roaring still. 
Case No. 2.— On February 25th was brought to my hos¬ 
pital a brown thoroughbred stallion. He was operated on in 
the same way as the above, and the same treatment was 
pusued in a general way. This animal was a confirmed roarer 
and was bought in Kentucky as a roarer. When brought to 
me he would roar when being trotted by the halter and if 
ridden at a trot or gallop would fall down. 
He was discharged from my hospital May 7th and on May 
9th the owner commenced to ride him and he has been used 
every day since. He trots and gallops at full speed with a 
man of 160 pounds weight and the noise is so slight that it 
cannot be heaid at a distance of fifty yards, and is growing 
less every day, so the owner says.

A one-year-old colt with a running sore, of about 
two months’ standing, at the anterior part of the base 
of the ear, was brought to me for treatment. Below 
the ear was noticed a small, hard, slightly movable tumor, 
and on introducing the probe, a bony substance was struck. 
The tumor was carefully dissected out, but on reaching the 
base, which was smaller than the top, it was found to be at¬ 
tached to the zygomatic process at the squamosal bone. A 
little effort dislodged it and it presented, besides the protuber 
ance by which it adhered, another, perfectly smooth. 
The sides were covered with a calcareous layer, which could 
easily be removed by the finger nail. The fore portion or 
top was smooth, but marked by a groove about one-eighth of 
an inch deep, giving it the appearance of an imperfectly form¬ 
ed molar, about the size of a large hickory nut. 
Mr. Dahlstrom, a student of mine, removed a* similar
