REPORTS OF CA8E8.

we in all our practice had never seen passed through the 
regular channel before. Therefore, we thought it might be 
a little interesting to you. 
History .—The subject was a bay mare 15-1, six years old, 
and trotting bred, valued by her owner at $1,000, and up to 
morning of the 10th inst. was supposed to be alt right. She 
with her mate were driven about eight miles to a “ picnic,” 
and soon after was taken with colic. We were called to the 
case, and at 11.40 A.M. saw the patient; found her rolling and 
trying to get on her back; pulse 56, and sweating profusely* 
Treatment .—Gave chlo. hyd., 3 ix in sol., and as soon as I 
could obtain it (which was thirty-five minutes) lini. oli. Oiss. 
The patient seemed to get relief, but in about one hour the 
pain returned, when I gave her another dose of chlo., increas¬ 
ing it to 5iss, which seemed to have the desired effect. As 
her owner had to come by my place on his way home, I re¬ 
quested he should stop and let me see her, which he did, with 
the information that nothing had passed her bowels since I 
saw her. I had her removed from the wagon, gave her a 
“pill” of aloes, 3vii, also of soap-suds; told him to give her 
a loose box, and that I would see her early next morning. On 
my arrival at 7.23 A.M. next day, found the mare out with his 
man to a halter, and the owner with a whip in the act of 
making her move more lively (as he expressed it). In turn¬ 
ing she made a jump to get away from the whip, where, for 
the first time in twenty hours, there was a convulsive move¬ 
ment of the bowels, and with that movement this (to me) 
large calculi, weighing eleven ounces, was produced. Who 
can prophecy how long it took in its migration after it left 
the viscus till its ejection? Again, I attribute its safe de¬ 
livery to the free use of the oil.
