and found that in two the true hepatogeneous jaundice was due 
to obstruction to the escape of the bile in the intestines. In 
both he found a luinbricoid entered partly into the ductus 
communicus choledicus and closing it so completely that no 
escape of bile could take place. The parasites were by the por¬ 
tion not in the canal floating in the cavity of the duodenum. 
The case is certainly very interesting.—(// Nuovo Ercolani .) 
Verminous Bronchitis in Cattle [Dr. UmbertodeMid\. 
—Notwithstanding the fact that the presence of strongylus in 
the bronchia of adult large ruminants is denied by some, the 
author made out that diagnosis in a large herd of young and 
adult animals which had pastured, lived and were now stabled 
together. One of the adult animals being the sickest and very 
anaemic was destroyed, and the bronchia were found contain¬ 
ing a very large quantity of strongylus micruri. The treatment 
which was recommended varied according to the cases and their 
condition. Two animals which were considered not worth treat¬ 
ment received a tracheal injection of a mixture of olive oil, 
spirits of turpentine, oil of crede and phenic acid. 'Others were 
placed under the Neumann mode of treatment, viz.: assafoetida, 
empyreumatic oil and mucilaginous decoction. Later on alter¬ 
atives were administered—iodine, iodide of potassium, etc.—all 
these various forms of therapeuty were used in tracheal injec¬ 
tions, except the Neumann, which was given by tablespoonfuls. 
During the curative treatment the animals were kept isolated, 
and when the disease had disappeared minute disinfection was 
carried out for the stables where they were kept and advice was 
given to the owner to not put cattle in the suspicious fields 
where they probably caught the germs of the disease.—( Giorn .

Fractured Radius in a Pregnant Mare [John Con- 
nochie\ .—The case is that of a mare in foal, which from a kick 
had sustained a simple fracture of the radius, near the lower ex¬ 
tremity of the bone. On account of her condition, and being a 
good brood mare, an attempt at treatment was decided upon. 
The leg was properly bandaged and padded, leather straps and 
splints were resorted to, and the mare placed in slings, with all 
possible precaution to prevent skin troubles. The mare was
