same way to inject a very weak solution of Cupri Sulphatis, 
and, if the operation of injecting the warm water has brought 
on any pressure or pains, I generally add some Tinct. Opii to 
the solution of Cupri Sulphatis. 
This treatment must be repeated as often as necessary, at 
intervals of forty-eight hours. A modification of the same 
treatment will do equally well for vaginal and cervico-vaginal 
leucorrhoea. 
In a few cases, where there was a good deal of foetor, I 
have found it very beneficial to add a moiety of glacial 
carbolic acid (Calvert’s). 
There is a question very often put to me professionally, 
having reference to this subject, and that is, whether a leu- 
corrheeal patient is in calf or in foal , as the case may be ? I 
have always answered no , and as yet I have never been 
mistaken. I find, however, that such is not invariably the 
case in human practice. As a matter of course it must be 
understood that I do not here refer to mere vaginal leucor¬ 
rhoea, but to the uterine and cervical forms of the disease ; 
and I should feel extremely interested to have the experience 
on this point of some older and more experienced veterina¬ 
rian than myself.

17th February, 1871.—Dog, No. 8 , about the size of a 
water spaniel. At 7.46 a.m. 5 SS of acid was given in 3;ss of 
warm water. In thirty seconds he was staggering, in one 
and a half minute he was frothing at the mouth ; in four 
minutes ten grains of carbonate of ammonia in half an ounce 
of water were administered, and two minutes afterwards he 
fell over and could not rise. The eyes were now examined 
and found bloodshot, with the pupils dilated. In ten minutes 
from the time of giving him the acid, a little cold water was 
sprinkled on his head and back, when he got up, and in 
about half an hour appeared all right again. 
19 th February.—At 7.16 a.m. forty minims of the acid 
were given in half an ounce of tepid water; the dog fell down 
as soon as he was- let go. In thirty seconds 3 SS of Spt. 
Ammoniae Aromat. and 3 SS of Spt. iEther. Nitr. in ^ss of water 
were given, but without any apparent effect. There was 
violent emprosthotonos, the body being quite curved and his
