idly. Better and more adundant feeding was prescribed, but 
the animal lost flesh, while her abdomen was increasing 
siderably in size. An empiric amputated her tail, saying she 
suffering with worms in that mem her. Still she failed to

By M. Contamine. 
This case is recorded principally on account of the rarity of 
occurrence. The animal was a six years old cow, and had 
some time presented a growth at the lower end of the vulva,

igated; and divided into small irregular lobules of a cauli-

t, was twisted off, and the wound which resulted was cauter- 
with the actual cautery. A short time afterwards the cow 
delivered of a healthy calf.— Ibid.
