ABSTRACT FROM EXCHANGES. 
2. Obserzation .—This case is more serious. The tume¬ 
faction was observed when it had been present since several days. 
The tumor is as big as the fist and covered with pus and adher¬ 
ing substances. It is oblong and presents at its upper end a cir¬ 
cular cord preventing its return into the sheath. The urine es¬ 
capes as in the preceding case. After thorough cleaning, the ir¬ 
ritated membrane was returned in its position and astringent and 
antiseptic treatment prescribed. But notwithstanding the care, 
the relief was not complete, as after a few days the bull had an 
erection and the projection of the skin returned and required a 
long time to recede. The bull could no longer be safely used for 
breeding and was fattened for the butcher. 
Treatment of Hemoglobinuria [Mr. Lacombe ].—This is 
the record of the good results obtained by the author in two cases 
of azoturia. In one the recovery might have taken place with 
the ordinary classical treatment, bul in the second the animal was 
considered as lost. The treatment consisted in the subcutaneous 
insufflation of sterilized air by the method of Brunswick. To the 
first horse about two litres were injected in the triceps region. 
In the second between 8 and io litres were pushed round the 
stifle and back of the shoulder. The swelling due to the inflated 
air lasted for some fifteen days before it disappeared. The re¬ 
covery in the last horse was as rapid as it sometimes occurs in 
parturient apoplexy of cows. The animal got up a few hours 
after the injection. In both horses, however, bleeding at the jug¬ 
ular and laxatives had also been prescribed.— {Bull, de la Soc.

Septic Peritonitis Due to Foreign Body of the 
Reticulum in a Cow [Mr. Pierre Bitard ].—Nine-year-old cow 
recently purchased, although she has all the signs of health, 
moans repeatedly. About a month ago she shows stiffness in 
walking and her moanings are louder and more frequent. A 
swelling develops at the lower part of the left side of the chest, 
an abscess follows, ulcerates, discharges bloody pus, having very 
bad odor, and the owner, squeezing it, extracts a long knitting 
needle which from the reticulum had made its way out. This 
abscess gets well in due time and the cow seemed to be in perfect 
health, except that her abdomen looked rather larger, but without 
tympanitis. Suddenly the appetite gave away, rumination stops 
and there is no defecation. The animal lays on right sternal 
decubitus, respiration is slow with painful expiration, the abdo-
