Exceptional Case of Equine Tuberculosis [S. B. Vine, 
M.R.C.V.SJ ].—Aged seven years, this bay mare had congestion 
of the lungs, which was treated with stimulants and tonics. Two 
days later began the appearance of several buds along the lym¬ 
phatic vessels of the abdomen, chest and hind legs. Malleined, 
she gave no reaction. The buds increased in number all over 
her body, ripened and discharged ordinary pus. Treated for 
pyemia, the animal was soon covered with numerous abscesses. 
Some were quite large. Some thirty of these were opened one 
morning. Treated with tonics, stimulants and antiseptics, the 
animal improved some for a while but soon returned in her bad 
condition. She was destroyed. Post mortem showed a spleen 
with three caseous masses; the liver was also diseased and miliary 
tubercles were present in the lungs. The lymphatic glands of 
the mesentery, the abdomen and the bronchia were exempt from 
disease. In the heart the auricles were found ossified. The 
examination of the lesions found them to be tuberculous in 
nature.— (Vet. Journal.) 
Foreign Bodies in Dog's Throat [/. Basil Buxton, M.R. 
C.V.S .].—Records of three different cases observed by the 
author. In one a fox terrier dog had a swelling as big as an 
orange which had developed in the region of the left submaxil¬ 
lary gland. Explored with, needle, it gave issue to blood-stained 
serous fluid. Opening enlarged and the cavity explored, a sharp 
point was felt. It could not be removed with forceps, but finally, 
by being pushed from outside into the cavity, a large tin tack was 
extracted. Recovery followed. 
In a second case a full-grown collie had a swelling in the 
intermaxillary space. It contained sero-sanguineous fluid and 
small quantity of pus. Nothing was detected in the cavity of 
this abscess until a week later, when on second examination a 
hard, wire-like substance was detected. It had to be snapped 
for removal. It was a darning needle with thread.
