My personal experience proves to me that quadrupeds do have 
haemorrhoids. On April ninth I was called to see a cow, which I 
found suffering from haemorrhoids; this is the third time 1 have 
treated the same cow. 1 have also treated other cases of this 
kind. - 
The same journal, dated April 6, in an article headed “The 
Ascent of Man,” the statement is made that the agonizing penal¬ 
ty is paid for the pleasure of walking on two feet instead of 
four, by prolapsus ani. A contradiction of this theory in vet¬ 
erinary literature can he found in J. Woodroffe Hill, page 214. 
Robertson’s Practice of Equine Medicine, page 266. Prof. Will- 
mar Zipperlen in his work, page 416, and Dr. Wm. Schwabe, 
page 371, is positive proof for prolapsus of the ani. In accord¬ 
ance with the proof I have given, quadrupeds do have haemor¬ 
rhoids, also prolapsus ani. These gentlemen must find proof 
for Darwinism outside of the quadrupeds.
