Case No. i. Pug dog, about four years old, glands first be¬ 
came enlarged when two years old, steadily increasing in size 
until breathing became difficult, when the owner concluded to 
have something done to relieve the distressing symptoms. The 
dog being very fat, he was first given a cathartic and his diet 
restricted to one meal per day. Twice a day he was given four 
drops of the fluid extract of spongia, and once a day ten drops 
Df a 13 per cent, solution of iodoform and glycerine were injected 
hypodermically into the substance of the glands. This was 
kept up for about twenty days, when the injections were discon¬ 
tinued, the internal treatment being persisted with for ten days 
longer, when recovery had taken place. 
Case No. 2 .—A water spaniel pup, about eleven months old ; 
right gland became enlarged ; was of two months’ standing 
when treatment began, which was identical with that of Case
