EXTRACTS FROM EXCHANGES. 
the right kidney, weighing about 14 kilograms, destruction of 
the right ureter by the new formation, compensation hypertro¬ 
phy of the left kidney, metastatic formations of the kidney tu¬ 
mor in the spleen, between this and the liver, and also around 
the rectum. In the great longitudinal fissure of the two hem¬ 
ispheres of the brain laid a humpy grayish red tumor of the 
size of an apple, which started from the plexus of the vessels, 
destroying this entirely ; the brain substance surrounding the 
tumor showed an encephalo-malacia flava, the right lateral ven¬ 
tricle is vanished, while the left is dilated to a considerable ex¬ 
tent, the convolutions flattened and the brain substance moist; 
the heart was greatly hypertrophied. The diagnosis of a round¬ 
cell sarcoma was confirmed by the pathological institution of Ber¬ 
lin. The sarcoma of the kidney must be considered as the 
primary growth, and for this speaks the size of the growth, the 
manner of spreading from this, the strong compensation hyper¬ 
trophy of the left kidney, the great hypertrophy of the heart, 
which is the consequence of a diseased condition of kidneys of 
long standing. It is very peculiar that in spite of the severe al¬ 
terations of the brain, the horse manifested very slight symptoms 
to indicate the cerebral changes.— (Ztschr. f Veterinarkunde.) 
Filaria Papillosa in the Anterior Chamber of the 
Eye \_A. Vethy\ .—In the anterior eye chamber of a horse, 
which showed some photophobia, lachrymation and diffused 
cloudiness of the cornea, a 7 cm. long filaria was noticeable. 
After a foregoing antiphlogistic treatment the filaria was re¬ 
moved in the following way from the cast horse : After a care¬ 
ful cleansing and disinfection with a 3 per cent, boracic acid 
solution, atropin was dropped into the eye and the cornea an¬ 
aesthetized with cocaine, then the eyelids were kept apart with 
the aid of Desmarre’s spoons, the bulbus fixed with a Weber’s 
pincette, and, after an incision was made in the cornea about 
3 mm. from the corneal border, the parasite was removed with 
an iris pincette. Complete recovery followed in 14 days, with 
the use of a compressive bandage.—( Veterinarius .) 
Anthrax with a Diminishing in Size of the Spleen 
\_T. Hajnal\. —A cow, which suddenly died, showed, besides 
tubercular lesions, a tarry condition of the blood and haemor¬ 
rhages in the subcutaneal connective tissue. The spleen was 
markedly diminished in size, its capsule wrinkled, and on sec¬ 
tion the pulpa proved to be soft, almost liquid. The micro¬ 
scopic examination of the blood revealed anthrax bacilli.—
