EXTRACTS FROM GERMAN JOURNALS.

of the fourth stomach and small intestines, were intensely 
hypersemic, swollen and diffusely colored, showing also petech¬ 
ias throughout the area. Erosions of the intestines and large 
gelatinous infiltration or carbuncular infarctions were not 
present. 
The second occurrence of the affection in the same stable 
took place some time subsequent, when a cow and an ox were 
very sick, and a calf had already died. The afflicted were in 
a soporific state and exhibited symptoms of paralysis, as in 
parturient apoplexy—protrusion of the tongue and salivation. 
The ox after many futile attempts to rise relapsed to his 
former condition, while the cow refused to respond to the 
strongest irritation. 
Pulse imperceptible, respiration normal, peristalsis and 
defecation suspended. The calf died a few hours after the 
first symptoms of the attack. Two days later not only were 
these animals dead, but also another cow and a goat which 
were kept in the same stable. 
Section exposed the following: Fresh and normal aspect 
of the general myology ; serous lining of the cavities sound, 
and the cavities free of liquid; no alteration of the digestive 
tract excepting the lining membranes of the stomach and in¬ 
testines, which exhibited more or less inflammation, swelling 
and petechias—contents of a hemorrhagic mixture. The in¬ 
tensity of the attack, and cause of this infectious gastroenter¬ 
itis, reminds one of the lesions in anthrax, Texas fever and 
malignant aphtha. These diseases, however, were excluded 
by symptoms wanting intra-vitam and post-mortem, and by 
inoculation.— Woch. f. Th. u. Vieh . 
CARCINOMA IN THE HORSE. 
The cadaver had been a well-kept horse, and now exhib¬ 
ited as the largest lesion a swelling of the parotid and inter¬ 
maxillary regions. On the right side of the neck a small 
potent wound of the skin could be noted, which, when probed, 
evidently led to the enlargement upon the left parotid space. 
On the left side a more insignificant and less extensive fistula
