bitch of about 12 pounds which had accidentally been mated to 
a Boston terrier of about 25 pounds. I found her straining to 
expel a large pup, breech presentation. I seized the pup by 
the hind legs and by traction removed him, after pulling him 
pretty well to pieces. The hips bound, then the abdomen 
bound and then the shoulder bound, so it seemed he could not 
come. I left her then to deliver the others if she could. Called 
ten hours later, but she had none started, so I used forceps, 
crushed the forward pup, and tried to draw him out, but it was 
impossible, so I gave her ether, slit the abdomen along the 
linea alba, drew out uterus, slit the superior surface, removed 
crushed pup, then another. My assistant performed artificial 
respiration, etc., and brought her (the pup) to life, while I 
swabbed the uterus with cotton, sewed it with gut, stitched 
the peritoneum and later the skin. Bitch did well, pup lived 
two weeks. Mother’s milk dried up, no foster mother was pro¬ 
cured, as pup was not wanted. Mother is still alive and doing 
well ; was in heat a few weeks ago.

ENGLISH REVIEW. 
Tetanus in the Cow Foeuowing Calving [^ j / Mr. 
H. B. Eve \.—Though lockjaw is not an uncommon disease in 
cattle, where all the various forms have been described by the 
various authors on cattle pathology, its mention as a complica¬ 
tion of calving is rather unusual, and on that account the case 
related by the author is interesting. The case was that of a 
cow which had calved some days previous and was found pre¬ 
senting symptoms of tetanus—head raised, neck stretched out, 
nose protruding, nostrils dilated, tail elevated, stiff gait, jaws 
partly locked, muscles of the neck and loins rigid, membrana 
nictitans protruding over the eyes, nervous paroxysm on the 
least noise; pulse quick, wiry, temperature 103°. The treat¬ 
ment consisted in removing the animal into a dark loose box, 
plugging the ears with cotton, enforced quietness and seclusion, 
fresh sheep skin over the loins, gruel and mashes ; a pound of 
sulphate of magnesia, with two drachms of prussic acid in gruel 
twice a day, washing of the uterus with a solution of boric acid 
(1:25). Two days after the cow was found unable to rise and_ 
died during the night.— {Vet. Record})
