ENGLISH REVIEW. 
Incarcerated (?) Scrotal Hernia. —Under this name 
Mr. E. Morrison relates in the Vetermary Journal the ease of a 
four-year-old stallion which presented all the evidences of scro¬ 
tal hernia: colic, rolling on his back when he was relieved, ab¬ 
sence of borborygmus, swelling of the testicular region, on the 
left side. Rectal examination revealed the strangulated condi¬ 
tion of the intestines at the internal abdominal ring. After an 
anodyne drench, the animal was thrown and the hernia reduced 
by taxis after some difficulty. A bandage of elastic cotton web¬ 
bing was placed oh the scrotum to remain on for a few days. 
The animal made a complete recovery, but, notwithstanding the 
warnings of the surgeon in attendance, the owner having again 
used the horse for stud purposes, he had a second and aggravated 
attack of his trouble—the hernia was double. Death arrived 
twelve hours after the first manifestations. Castration was not 
performed in the first instance, as the owner objected to it. 
Malignant Adenoma of the Stomach of a Horse 
\By R. B. Freeynan^ F. R. C. V. A.].—This is the case of a hun¬ 
ter, which during a severe attack of laminitis manifested pecu¬ 
liar abdominal symptoms, which made it supposed that there ex¬ 
isted some greater trouble, a supposition already expressed on 
previous occasions by Prof. Williams. The animal grew rapidly 
worse and was ultimately destroyed. The stomach was exam¬ 
ined by Prof. Williams and the diagnosis of gastric complica¬ 
tions confirmed, which under the microscope revealed the pres¬ 
ence of an adenoid cancer.— {Vet. JoiLrnal.) 
Tumors in the Lateral Ventricles of a Horse. —Mr. 
A. N. Munro, M. R. C. V. S., records this case, which he first 
was justified in considering as one of stomach staggers, with the 
ordinary manifestations of brain disturbance (pressing the head 
against the wall of the stall, attempts to push forward, peculiar 
carrying of the head, etc.) He relieved his patient with a 7- 
drachm dose of aloes, and enemas. A week later he had another 
similar attack, also relieved with the same treatment. A third 
return of the disease made the attendant diagnose a cerebral 
tumor ; the horse was destroyed. At the post-mortem two sym¬ 
metrical tumors were found lying over the lateral ventricles ; 
they were pedunculated, oval and about the size of a hen’s egg. 
Microscopic examination revealed that their nature was tliat
