EXTRACTS FROM EXCHANGES.

oozing from the vulva. She was dull, weak and her mucous 
membranes pale ; the respiration and the temperature normal. 
The animal stretched and made efforts to expel the clots of blood 
contained in the vagina, some of which were extracted by the 
hand. The haemorrhage was uterine, though it was difficult to 
locate precisely the seat of the haemorrhage. Treatment con¬ 
sisted of wet cloths over the loins and vaginal injections of 
boiled water, 5 liters, and 10 grammes of perchloride of iron. 
Three days after, examination was made with the speculum and 
the vagina thoroughly cleaned of the clots of blood that it con¬ 
tained. The neck of the uterus was normal and presented a 
small clot of blood oozing through the os ; evidently the diag¬ 
nosis was correct. The animal recovered. The principal object 
of the report is to show the importance of the use of the specu¬ 
lum in the diagnosis of uterine diseases of our large domestic 
animals .—{^Joiirnal de Med. Vet. and ZootecJi.') 
Tupinosis of the Horse Resembeing Glanders.—Use¬ 
fulness OF MallEine. —The value of malleine in assisting the 
positive diagnosis in suspicious cases of glanderous nature is 
well illustrated by the case reported by M. Dupont. A mare 
suspected of glanders had been reported in a large establish¬ 
ment and serious losses were threatening the owner, who re¬ 
quired from the author a minute inspection of all his stock. 
The mare had an abundant grey reddish discharge adherent to 
the wings of the nostrils, the glands of the maxillary space were 
large and painful; on the pituitary membrane there were ulcers 
of various dimensions, involving the whole thickness of the 
membrane, with a purplish color at their bottom and their edges 
formed by a series of small granulations. The same manifesta¬ 
tions existed in two other horses. The most minute inquiry 
into the history of the whole stock failed to reveal any serious 
condition to explain or even suspect the origin of glanders. The 
entire stock was malleined (23 horses) ; of these ten horses ac¬ 
cused by a rising of temperature to 1.5° to 2°, and the condition 
would have looked serious was it not for the fact that there was 
complete absence of local reaction on all the animals. The sus¬ 
pected mare did not react and her temperature remained normal. 
Mr. Dupont was very much embarrassed. The three subjects 
which presented the suspicious symptoms were isolated—all the 
others were returned to work. A few days later a variety of 
symptoms showed themselves in several of those ; with one it 
was dullness, grinding of the teeth, loss of appetite, tottering 
walk ; in another, sudden appearance of an ulcerated lymphan-
