Generalized Miliary Tuberculosis [Henry B. Eve } M.R. 
C.V.S .].—At the postmortem of this valuable maiden bull bitch, 
aged two years and six months, which was destroyed after a com¬ 
paratively short sickness, the liver, lungs, kidneys, lymphatic 
glands were found all extensively diseased. The spleen was only 
slightly affected at its apex. Bought for breeding purposes, this 
bitch was kept in the house and caught cold, which was treated as 
a case of influenza. After a stay in the country for a while, she 
showed dry husky cough, followed later by excessive expectora¬ 
tion. Rapid emaciation took place, intermittent diarrhoea tinged 
with blood. Elevated temperature, specially at night. Purulent 
discharge of the eyes. Rales were heard on auscultation of the 
chest. Pulse aceellerated. Breathing hurried, with occasional 
hemoptysy. Tuberculin test gave typical reaction. A treatment 
with medicinal doses of tuberculin and open air, adrenaline, 
quinine, tonics, etc., with raw meat and fish, milk, eggs, etc.— 
gave but a temporary relief, and the animal one day was taken 
with such a violent fit of coughing, followed by hemorrhage and 
delirium, that the animal was chloroformed to death.— {Vet.

Useful Disinfecting Spray [Oscar Stinson , M.R.C.V.S .] 
—A simple mode of throwing spray, so as to irrigate the interior 
of the facial sinuses after trephining, is by using a sprayer 
analogous to that used for horticultural purposes, viz.: a large 
tin can which is carried on the back of a man and held by straps 
passing on the shoulders. The tube which the can carried at its 
bottom has a rubber prolongation which is introduced in the 
trephined openings and the force and current of the liquid in¬ 
jected is regulated much more easily than the common hose-pipe 
which is frequently used. The application of this instrument, in 
addition to being extremely simple, is effective and expeditious, 
and is possessed of advantages not always obtainable when the 
apparatus is either complicated or cumbersome.— (Vet. Nezvs.)
