If the hemorrhage be from the non-striated muscular tissue, 
especially the uterus, it is probable that ergot or its synergists 
would be indicated, since the escape of blood from these parts is 
controlled not so much by the constriction of the vessels as by a 
contraction of the muscular fibers around the vessels. 
Given a case of gradual exsanguination due to the slow es¬ 
cape of blood from striated muscular tissue, it is probable that 
the intramuscular or intravenous injection of adrenalin is in¬ 
dicated. On the contrary, if the case be acute and of recent occur¬ 
rence, nitro-glycerin has proved to be better treatment. 
From Dr. Willis Wilson, away up in Dayton, Wash.: “ I 
herein inclose $3 for renewal of my subscription for another year 
to the best friend the veterinary profession has. The Review is 
largely responsible for the practitioners having any money at 
all, so in parting with this $3 I feel that it will return many fold. 
With best wishes for the good work being done, I am, etc.”

Prizes are offered for the best conditioned horses and for the 
most humane drivers.— (New York Doily Tribune.)
