and found her clipped from about half way over her lumbar 
region to her hocks, and she was one complete scab from a 
blister that had been applied. She had been rowled and 
setoned and I judged from her appearance that the abscess 
had been brought to several heads. She had lost flesh to a 
great extent. The owner, by my advice, again sent her to my 
place for destruction. When she got about three miles from 
his stable she fell down in the street, and was then loaded into 
a low-gear and in that way I received her. 
She was then placed in a loose box stall for the night and 
the next morning was trotted by the halter; after going half 
a block she could hardly move, and on Sunday, the 23rd, she 
was destroyed. 
The post-mortem showed her lungs to be somewhat emphy¬ 
sematous, the heart enlarged, weighing iif pounds, intestines 
healthy and no plugging of the mesenteric or renal arteries. 
About two inches and a half anterior to the bifurcation of 
posterior aorta at the illiacs, the clot commenced and I fol¬ 
lowed it on both sides to below the hocks, in both internal 
and external iliacs. 
ECCENTRIC HYPERTROPHY.

The patient was a brown mare about fifteen and one-half 
hands high, four )mars old, belonging to a farmer who 
used her for driving to a light buggy, usually on good roads. 
The history of the case was that for about six weeks 
previous to our seeing the patient her appetite was gradually 
failing and on hitching and driving the animal she would soon 
become fatigued and would perspire quite freely 
She was admitted to the hospital for our examination on 
July 30th. On making an examination found her temperature 
to be IC 3 °F. Pulse forty-eight to fifty and very irregular, 
sometimes beating from two to five regular pulsations and 
then again missing from two to three; the heart having a 
tumultuous action and the arterial wave being feeble and irre¬ 
sponsive.
