true santal with saw palmetto, and in it, I think, I recognize a 
godsend to onr veterinary practice in all cases of kidney, blad¬ 
der, or urethral inflammation. Should other practitioners have 
the same success that I have had with the remedy, I believe 
that the above-named diseases will have lost much of their 
horror to the profession.

Eympho-Sarcoma at the Entrance of the Chest in a 
Cow \_By Prof. M. G. MousstP \.—This cow, which was found 
one day by her owner very tympanic, was tapped by him, but, 
presenting some “ lumps ” in the dewlap, was treated by an em¬ 
piric, who prognosticated an early death. As this fatal termina¬ 
tion was rather slow to occur, a veterinarian was called, who 
referred the animal to the Alfort School for observation or treat¬ 
ment. At the time of admission the animal was dull, tympani¬ 
tic, and presented a peculiar deformity of the dewlap, extending 
to the entrance of the chest. In manipulating it, the swelling, 
not well defined, seemed hard, not depressible, moderately oede- 
matous, scarcely painful, and not adherent to the skin. The lower 
part of the jugular grooves was full. On the left side, the pre¬ 
scapular glands were enormous, projecting and movable ; the 
gland of the point of the shoulder was hypertrophied ; and deep 
manipulation gave the sensation of a hard, irregular mass, some¬ 
what bosselated, occupying the entrance of the chest. On the 
right side, the prescapular glands were free from disease, but 
the jugular groove and the peritracheal region were filled with a 
diffused, bosselated swelling, painless, similar to that of the op¬ 
posite side. The intermaxillary space was the seat of a slight 
oedematous swelling. The appetite was more or less impaired, 
mastication easy, deglutition difficult more or less for solid food, 
more easy for liquids. Tympanites permanent, but without 
serious character ; defecation was rare and diarrhoeic. Nothing 
abnormal in the respiratory apparatus ; no peculiar symptoms ' 
on auscultation. There was a slight acceleration of circulation, 
pulse 70 to 80 ; heart sounds normal; jugular swollen, bulging 
under the skin, no venous pulse. Histological examination 
showed no excess of white corpuscles. Temperature 39° to 39.5°. 
Diagnosis, made by exclusion, was that of malignant tumor of 
the chest, surrounding the trachea, with a serious prognosis and
