mal position. The diagnosis was therefore evidently that of 
a cystic tumor. A free incision emptied the whole sac and 
its mass was secured at its base with an elastic ligature, the 
amputation of the rest of the envelopes completing the opera¬ 
tion. The stump of ths tumor sloughed away in time, though

INTESTINAL WORMS IN YOUNG CALVES.

low, the physiognomy anxious, the pulse 58 to the minute, and

a couple of hours before. This continued for some fifteen 
minutes, and the rejected matters had their typical odor. A 
drench of ether, with assafsetida, peppermint and bromide po¬

and half an hour after the animal was quiet and looking for 
food. The next day the same phenomenon occurred again, 
and the patient was relieved by the same treatment. Five
