he was not easily aroused by calling. On being offered food, 
however, the patient readily came for and ate it. During his 
stay here, the appetite was good and there was no difficulty in 
swallowing. In the intervals between feeding times, the dog 
remained usually in one position in a listless state.” On a slight 
supposition that rabies might be developing, the animal was 
placed under careful observation, but without results, and, after 
a proper time, a diagnosis of chronic cerebral disease was made 
and the animal destroyed. At the post-mortem an adenoma, as 
laro-e as a walnut, was found attached to the vessels of the cho- 
roid plexus in the right lateral ventricle. 
Foreign Body in the Stomach [By Mr. W. T. Boltoii ].— 
This is the history of a King Charles spaniel, which had never 
been sick up to the time he was called. He found that the dog 
had refused his food in the morning, and all at once commenced 
to vomit, purge, turn round and round in a circle and go into

ounce weight was found wedged in the pyloric orifice, which it 
almost entirely blocked. On further inquiry as to the history 
of the case, the fact became known that some six or seven 
months previous the dog swallowed the weight, but that, as it 
did not seem to interfere with him, the accident was all forgot¬ 
ten.— (Veter. Record^

Caeculary Cystitis. —As a sequel of this affection, it is 
not uncommon to find that the meat of a steer becomes impreg¬ 
nated with an odor of urine which renders it unfit for consump¬ 
tion, even after the animal has been properly treated. Mr. 
Soulie, in the Progres Veterinaire^ reports a similar case. A 
steer suffering with colic was treated by the owner with drenches 
of stimulant infusions, and to all appearance recovered. Uneasy, 
however, about his condition, the owner called Mr. S., who, 
after careful inquiry, finding the animal apparently well, and 
with the affirmation that the animal had passed urine, concluded 
it an attack of cystitis d frigore^ and left, after recommending 
that the micturation of the animal be carefully watched. Fo2ir
