H ASM O-ALBUMINURIA IN MARES. 
ever was in posession of a horse affected with the above 
malady,, more especially from its being described in Bell’s 
Life, by our friend Mr. Goodwin, as incipient roaring, at once 
had recourse to the actual cautery. Some of them selected the 
flat iron of the laundress, while others preferred the ordi¬

Several cases of this kind have come under my notice

some interest.
