REPORTS OF CASES.

except a “ heavey ” cough. Was destroyed at clinic, and “ posted ” 
by Dr. Fitch, when the following lesions were found: Glanders 
nodules in mediastinal lymph gland, and also slight lesions of 
bronchial glands. The case was of extreme interest and value to 
the rural practitioners, many of whom stated that they had never 
met a case of glanders in their practice. 
Case 4. Black Gelding } ten years old, discharging tumor 
with fistula on right cheek. Patient secured on operating table 
and Dr. W. L. Williams (who pronounced the condition an odon- 
tome), with the assistance of Dr. Webber, proceeded to operate. 
The tumor was of the third molar, and had pressed on and rubbed 
against the second molar, and worn away and denuded the perios¬ 
teum, so that the second molar also had to be removed. Dr. Wil¬ 
liams explained that the principal danger to be avoided in this 
operation was injury to the facial nerve. Local ansethesia with 
cocaine was employed, and after diligent perseverence and skill 
had been persevered with for nearly two hours, the operation 
was brought to a successful termination. The bony tumor re¬ 
moved weighed one and one-quarter pounds. 
Case 5. Chestnut Gelding, six years old; “ roarer.” Left 
cartilage was paralyzed and the right one partially so. The Wil¬ 
liams operation (using the Blattenberg burr) was performed on 
both sides by Drs. Frost and Eggleston. Horse in standing posi¬ 
tion in stocks, with head fixed in elevated position. 
Case 6. Gray Mare (aged), from practice of Dr. Huff, of 
Rome, presented for diagnosis. Drs. McKinney and MacKellar,

(off hind leg); very lame when worked. Dr. McKinney recom¬ 
mended firing and blistering the ringbone, and the “ Hughes ” 
operation for bog-spavin, on the upper part of the. leg. The mare 
was placed on the operating table, and the operation (which con¬ 
sists of an incision through the skin, laying bare the saphena vein, 
dissecting that vein free for about an inch and a half, and ligating 
it), was performed by Dr. A. A. Brocket, under the direction of 
Dr. McKinney. 
Case 7. Dark Gray Gelding (mottled), four years old, pre¬ 
sented by Dr. Currie for diagnosis. Dr. Cochran, diagnostician. 
Sprung knees, due to contraction of flexor tendons. Recom¬ 
mended shoeing with no toe-light heel. Prognosis—horse would 
be useful for some time. 
Case 8. Bay Mare (aged). Dr. Cochran, diagnostician, pro¬ 
nounced this case (which the accompanying cut illustrates) as 
traumatic lymphangitis. Prognosis: Will improve to useful con-
