ine cotyledons, loose from the mucous membrane. By manual 
examination 16 more are found loose and extracted. Antiseptic 
injections are prescribed. The next day io more cotyledons are 
expelled. With this all bad symptoms subsided; no more strain¬ 
ing efforts; rumination returned; the cow was well. It is interest¬ 
ing to bear in mind that in this case the accouchement occurred in 
excellent condition, that the expulsion of the membranes took 
place early and readily, without pulling, and that the expelled 
cotyledons were of large size and did not seem to have under¬ 
gone the rapid involution observed ordinarily after parturition.—

Cocaine and Adrenaline in Acute Affections of the 
Foot [Mr. P. Cozette ].—The author relates his experience in the 
treatment of three cases of severe acute laminitis and two of acute 
arthritis of the foot, which recovered in a short time, after having 
been relieved of the acute pain with subcutaneous injection of 
cocaine and adrenaline. In the first of the cases of laminitis the 
cocaine was used at the beginning and adrenaline added to it, with 
far better results. Three injections only were required. In the 
two other cases the cocaine and adrenaline injections were re¬ 
quired only twice. In the two cases of acute arthritis of the foot 
the injections were also followed by marked relief, but with them 
they were repeated every day for io and 15 days. It is well un¬ 
derstood, however, that the use of adrenaline and cocaine is to be 
considered merely as an auxiliary which is reeommendable, but 
does not exclude the additional ordinary treatment.— {Rep. de

Primitive Tuberculosis of the Face in a Cat—Auto- 
Inoculation [Adjunct Prof. Charmoy ].—Aged about 10 years, 
this black-and-white cat has since several months a number of ul- 
erated wounds which have remained rebellious to all kinds of 
treatment. Ftalf of the right side of the face is invaded by a wide, 
irregular ulceration, involving also the greatest part of the upper 
eyelid, the internal angle of the eye and spread downwards on the 
nose. The ulcer is deep, funnel-like, and gives out sanious yel¬ 
lowish, thin pus. The parts round are swollen and the face con¬ 
siderably deformed. There are also two smaller ulcerations on 
the cheek and temporal region. The lymphatic glands of that part 
of the face are hypertrophied, hard, bosselated and not adherent 
to the skin. Respiration is loud and labored. There are also one
