REPORTS OF CASES. 
Rub liniment of ammonia, turpentine and oil along spine 
and back of horns. Give big enema of warm water and glycer¬ 
ine (one pound). Some of the pellets may have to be removed 
by hand. I often use two pailfuls of water. Next draw urine 
with a catheter. This usually takes some little time and 
patience with me. 
I then leave the attendant with a bucket of cold water and a 
quart of medicine, with orders to dash the water into her face if 
drowsy and to milk her and roll her over to other side and give 
medicine every two hours. 
The medicine I leave is 
Fl. extr. jaborandi, § i. 
« Ether sulph., § ii. 
Fl. extr. aconite, 3 i- 
Fl. extr. nux vomica, § ss. 
Olei lini., ad Oij. 
Mix. Sig. Give tablespoonful on tongue every two hours after turning patient over. 
It is needless to say she is aroused when she gets it or that 
she cannot choke much on it. 
I have lately had very good success with this treatment. 
EARGE CALCULUS FROM A MARK WITHOUT CEASING WORK. 
By William Jakeman, D.V.S., Halifax, N. S. 
About a month ago I was asked on the street to look at a 
gray mare, one of a hack pair, which the driver said was con¬ 
tinually dribbling urine, which could be readily seen on her 
quarters, and an offensive odor was quite observable. I told the 
owner, who was standing by, to send her to my place and I 
would make an examination and determine, if possible, the cause 
of the trouble. She did not come, however, until last week, 
being kept constantly at work. She was a sorry-looking sight, 
passing now constantly a mixture of blood and urine. After 
cleansing her, I placed a twitch upon her nose and secured one 
fore leg, and then passed my hand into the vagina, when I could 
feel the bladder shriveled, contracted, with greatly thickened 
walls, and containing a hard substance, which I decided was a 
calculus. On passing my finger into the meatus urinarius I 
found it greatly dilated, so much so that with a little manipula¬ 
tion I could get two fingers in and could feel the calculus. I 
then injected into the bladder a quantity of carbolized oil, and 
with the use of a pair of long forceps and a little patience I 
succeeded in extracting the stone, which weighed 2 ounces 
and measured 2 by 3 inches and about i inch thick, with a 
very rough surface. I have washed the bladder daily with a
