of horses, i. The following are taken from these experiments: 
Fifty horses were submitted to the treatment of serotherapy. 
2. From Feb. 14 to March 23 thirty-two animals left the hospi¬ 
tal completely cured. 3. Three horses only died during the sero- 
therapic treatment, and of these two were inoculated when 
already in desperate condition. 4. The fifteen horses remaining 
under treatment are in good condition and much improved. 5. 
Sixteen horses, recovered of the infectious pleuro-pneumonia, 
were bled to obtain the serum. On an average each horse 
stood three bleedings. 6. The bleeding was made about ten days 
after the exit of the animal from the hospital. 7. Two litres 
of blood were extracted at each operation. 8. The highest 
number of injections required has been seven, the lowest two. 
The average has been four a day of 100 grammes of serum. 
The injection was made subcutaneously on the side of the neck, 
once a day. Nine other injections were also made in fourteen 
horses at the dose of 50 to 100 grammes by injection. 
Tetanus Cured by Phenic Acid. —Mr. S. D. Francesco 
records in the Clinica Veterinaria a case of recovery of lockjaw 
well marked with stiffness of all the muscles of locomotion, 
contraction of the jaws, stiff ears, nostrils widely dilated, the 
membrana nictitans appearing suddenly on the eye at the slight¬ 
est irritation, neck rigid, tail elevated, abdominal muscles pow¬ 
erfully contracted, respiration short and quick, pulse frequent. 
Temperature 40.5 to 41° C. The entire muscular system is con¬ 
tracted, trismus and pleurosthotonos well-marked. The treat¬ 
ment consisted of tracheal injections of a mixture of 2 
grammes of phenic acid with 4 of glycerine and 100 of distilled 
water, divided in four doses, given one every six hours. Rectal 
phenicated injections—washes. Improvement was noticed after 
two weeks and in a month the animal entirely recovered. 
Angioma of the Geans Penis. —The same author records 
a case of this affection in a low-bred animal which had frequent 
haemorrhages through the sheath, and which on examination, 
exhibited an extensive diseased condition which demanded im¬ 
mediate interference. The animal was cast, secured as for cas¬ 
tration, the parts thoroughly cleaned and disinfected with 
phenol and sublimate. A catheter w^as introduced in the 
urethra, and an Esmarch bandage applied on the penis to pre¬ 
vent hsemorrhage. The amputation was made with the 
ecraseur. The catheter was left in a few days ; micturation 
normal.
