well fed, laid on flesh, and towards the twelfth week of the 
treatment she was safely delivered of a well nourished and per¬ 
fectly formed foal. At the end of the thirteenth week the 
splints were removed, and then the mare was ordered short 
walking exercises, after which she was replaced in slings. Af¬ 
ter a short while she was put in a loose box, and then turned 
to pasture. Recovery was perfect, except that on account of 
the seat of the injury, the knee is perfectly ankylosed.— Vet.')

Septic Pneumonia [C. Sutton ].—Under this title the au¬ 
thor records the case of a gelding which presented symptoms 
of colic, which in his estimation were due to impaction. Al¬ 
though placed under treatment, the animal did not improve, 
but exhibited symptoms of choking, and after a few days had a 
thick foetid creamy discharge from the nostrils, which was not 
satisfactorily accounted for. Notwithstanding the fact that the 
animal fed more or.less, he gradually wasted away, and finally 
quietly laid down and died. A large abscess pressing and con¬ 
stringing the oesophagus close to its entrance to the stomach was 
found. The oesophagus showed signs of disease of long stand¬ 
ing ; there were other absce'sses with inspissated pus and septic 
matter. Those were the cause of vomition. The stomach had 
a perforation, the mucous membrane having been involved for 
some time, the serous only recently. The lungs were the seat 
of septic pneumonia.— {Vet. Journ.) 
Unusual Number of Tapeworms in a Dog \_H. Taylor]. 
—The record of the number of these parasites in dogs has just 
been broken. According to Neumann, the number of tcenia 
serrata which Bertolus and Chauveau have found in the dog 
varied from one up to sixty-four—these being exceptional fig¬ 
ures. In an Airedale terrier the author gave 35 minims of 
tenalin in water, and in twenty minutes the dog evacuated a 
large quantity of faeces and a tangled mass of tapeworms, which 
on being teased out and counted was found to be composed of 
sixty-six taenia, all belonging to one species, tcenia serrata .—

Vomition in a Horse [A. Spicer ].—All horses that vomit 
do not have ruptured stomachs, and some do recover. One 
more case is added to those that are already recorded. It is that 
of a gelding which after a heavy meal of maize and middlings 
was taken with abdominal pains, during which he also exhib¬ 
ited symptoms of vomiting. The attacks were repeated at inter¬ 
vals of eight or ten minutes. The nose was not drawn into the
