MAXILLARY FISTULA IN A DOG. 
By Mr. X. Panohenne. 
A pointer slut had on the right facial region a tumor the size 
ol a nut, somewhat soft and painful. Opened, it allowed the es- 
3ape of a certain quantity of clotted blood, which was squeezed 
3ut and the neoplasm was dressed externally with tincture of 
odine. After a few weeks, the animal had entirely recovered. 
Three months after, however, there was a relapse and the growth 
lad reappeared with the same characters. .Remembering the 
nention of similar cases made by Prof. Reul of the Bruxelles 
>ehool, the author made a careful inspection of the buccal cav- 
ty and examined with attention the condition of the molar teeth. 
Percussing every one with the point of a pair of curved scissors* 
ie observed that the third molar, though, like all the others,’ 
iresenting a handsome white appearance, gave a peculiar sound, 
md seemed to be less strongly implanted in its alveolar cavity. 
Phis tooth was extracted and found to be slightly decayed under 
he gums. It was the cause of the trouble, for recovery rapidly 
ollowed the operation, and the animal has enjoyed perfect health
