twisted to the oft side. The near eye was more closed than the 
off. The near ear lopped down. The shoulder muscles grew 
atrophied. He dragged the near hind leg and knuckled over the 
fetlock, until finally the entire near side became partially

coverings of the cerebellum and in the tracheal, bronchial, iliac, 
pharyngeal, prepectoral and submaxillary lymphatic glands. 
The treatment had consisted in the administration of arsenic and

and two days later, or twenty-four hours after the second in¬

(Esophagus [W. Pauer, M.R.C.VS.]. —Two-year-old New¬ 
foundland dog had gastritis with frequent attacks of vomiting. 
This last seems to have become a habit with him. One morning 
he was found dead in the kennel. Post mortem; Stomach was 
first looked for, as poisoning was suspected. It is not found in 
the abdomen. In opening the chest and exposing the heart and 
lungs, “ a large cylindrical swelling was observed; it was the
