be cured, and the best and only thing to do was to have her 
destroyed. Mr. Roach gave his fine cow to the pound-master, 
Greenberry Martin, and instructed him to take her out and 
kill her. After arriving at the destination, the pound-master’s 
heart failed him, so he turned her out to eat grass. I was 
called, but informed Mr. Martin that it was a very bad case 
and of long standing now, and. to save him expense advised 
him to bring her to my hospital for examination, which he did 
late in the evening. Myself and my assistant, Dr. Pumphrey, 
made an examination, but not a very close one, not in¬ 
terfering with the protrusion at all. I told him about the only 
thing we could do for her was to amputate it and save the 
cow. After talking the matter over for some time, we decided 
to treat her for a while first, if not successful we would have 
to amputate it. I wrote out a prescription about as follows, 
if my mind serves me right: 
Tannic Acid, § i, 
Gr. Opii., § ii, 
Ole. Gossyppi Sem., 5 viii. 
Gave instructions and furnished him with a syringe. He 
accompanied my assistant to the office, who filled the above 
prescription, and gave an explanation of the trouble. He 
first washed the parts nicely in alum water and applied the 
medicine, also succeeding in putting it part of the way back, 
but the cow had bad spells, straining so ; he found it out the 
next morning and applied his medicine again, and it never 
came out any more. We had him inject antiseptic and as¬ 
tringent medicine three or four times a day for two weeks. 
In just three weeks I made a careful examination. By intro¬ 
ducing my hand I found the uterus had all gone to its proper 
place, and we are glad to state that the cow is sound and well, 
and the probabilities are the trouble will never recur.
