the vulva, on the croup, on the lower part of the legs, on the face 
and on the skin, pustules of the affection. Out of 200 mares 170 
were affected ; there were no deaths. The treatment consisted in 
washing with lysol solution of the hobbles, the genital organs of 
the animals and the hands of the assistants. Twenty two men 
had the disease, but no complications except epitroclean and 
axillary adenitis. The eruption appeared ordinarily on the 
fourth day and reached its maximum of development between 
the eighth and tenth days. Had previous examination been 
made in this case, the contagion would have been avoided and 
many days of labor not lost .—(.Bulletin Medical.')

Contribution to the Study of Tuberculosis in the 
Horse \By Prof. T. Hendrickx \.—In the presence of the in¬ 
complete literature relating to equine tuberculosis, the author 
contributes to the history of that form of the disease by relating 
two cases which he had the opportunity to follow until the 
time of death and where the diagnosis was confirmed by post¬ 
mortem. In the first case the animal remained ailing for some 
time, losing flesh, but still able to do his work. Close exam¬ 
ination, minute observation, analysis of his urine, test with 
malleine, had failed to explain his manifestations. Tubercu¬ 
lin had only given a reaction of i.6°. This test was repeated 
five times, four days apart, and the reaction was 1.4 0 , 1.3 0 , 1.5°, 
i.2°, none for the last. After the third injection a new symp¬ 
tom, which had been missing before, made its appearance—the 
one upon which Nocard and Leclanche insist in a special way 
to the point of view of diagnosis. An abundant polyuria showed 
itself and lasted until the time of death. It was only towards 
the end of the disease that respiratory troubles were observed 
on auscultation, viz., harsh vesicular murmur, with here and 
there mucous rales—no cough, no nasal discharge. The ema¬ 
ciated condition at the time of death was surprising. At the 
post-mortem, acute tuberculous lesions were found in the lungs 
and chronic tubercles in the spleen, some of which were case¬ 
ous or calcareous. The splenic glands were also affected. 
The second case exhibited very nearly the same symptoms—
