coecum and colon, the contents of which were of a muddy 
brown color and semi-fluid. The intestinal lymphatic glands 
particularly were much congested. Thinking I had a case of 
muco-enteritis I made little labor over the post-mortem, but 
secured a piece of about five square inches from the blind end 
of the caecum for verification and more minute examination 
at leisure, in hopes of arriving at a definite causus operandi . 
From this I have obtained over two hundred nematode 
worms, some of which I forwarded to the New Veterinary 
College where Professor Williams recognizes them as speci¬ 
mens of the “strongylus armatus.” Almost every blood ves¬ 
sel in this piece of bowel contained one or more parasites, 
but the majority of them I found in the mucous and sub-mu¬ 
cous tissues. The former presented a slate brown color, 
studded with numerous black spots, and quite a network of 
numerous perforations, evidently illustrative of the abode of 
the parasites. 
Since the above post-mortem I have had doses of ol. tere¬ 
binth administered night and morning, along with ferri per 
chlor. to several suspected colts, and on examination of the 
fseces of one of them found quite a number of the parasites, 
mostly in the adult stage. 
The owner has suffered great loss for several years from 
abortion in cattle; in fact, so serious were the ravages of the 
disease last winter that he entirety sold out his dairy stock. 
Isn’t there a likelihood of this sanguinary nematode having 
made the walls of the uterus its habitat, and there been the 
chief cause in operation ?— Ibid.

Case I.—Brown mare five years old, and worked in a green¬ 
grocer’s cart. This mare showed no signs of illness after the 
morning’s work ; was taken out after a short rest at dinner 
time and got about three miles from home when she suddenly 
fell down, scattering the greengrocers stock-in-trade all 
around her. She broke out into a profuse sweat and fought
