Amputation of an Everted Uterine Horn [By Dr. 
Gallo Zoroastro ].—The author was called to attend a cow which 
had calved 48 hours before, and by violent expulsive efforts had 
brought about a prolapsus of the uterus. He found the right 
horn protruding with two lacerations measuring about 10 centi¬ 
metres in length. The cause of these lacerations could not be 
found out, as by the report of the owner the covV had calved 
without assistance, and no one had attempted to reduce the pro¬ 
lapsus. The case was serious, the organ being much swollen ; 
there was much infiltration, and the parts were threatened with 
gangrene. Reduction being impossible, it was decided to resort 
to amputation. A strong ligature, previously boiled, was applied 
tight on the tumor near the place where it protruded through 
the vulva, and involving healthy structures, when the other 
part was amputated. There was no haemorrhage. The uterus 
was returned to its normal position, and repeatedly disinfected 
by irrigations, with substantial diet. For a few days the appe¬ 
tite was gone, the milk arrested, but soon returned, and com¬ 
plete recovery took place .—(Clinica Vet.)

The semi-annual meeting was held at Stetter’s Assembly 
Hall, 844 Broad Street, Newark, on Thursday, July nth. 
Preceding the regular meeting a clinic was held at the hos¬ 
pital of Dr. Werner Runge, 130 Union Street, Newark, and was 
under the management of Drs. Runge, McDonough, Hogan and 
Hopper. Much credit is due the members of this committee 
for the excellent clinic planned and executed by them. Al¬ 
though the attendance was large, the spacious quarters furnished 
by courtesy of Dr. Runge proved ample for all requirements. 
Dr. Runge presented two cases, one of osteo-porosis, an aggra¬ 
vated case upon which he had experimented with good results, 
and another of cancerous growth of horse’s head. Dr. McDon¬ 
ough gave a practical demonstration of the use of stocks. Dr. 
Miller, the experienced and expert ridgling castrator, performed 
the operation of castration with the subject in a standing posi¬ 
tion. Dr. McCully, of New York, with the assistance of Dr. 
Hopper, performed caudal tenotomy upon several subjects. Dr
