ANESTHETICS. 
The anaesthetics successfully used and reconiniended by the 
department of surgery are : 
1. Chloroform for the horse and ox'. 
2. Ether for the dog and small animals. 
3. Cocaine (10 per cent, solution, maximum dose 20 m.) for 
local anaesthesia. 
4. Ethyl chloral spray for dermal incisions. 
NASAE POLYPUS. 
nasal polypus occupying one entire nasal cavity from the 
posterior to the anterior nare, completely occluding the cham¬ 
ber, was successfully removed and favorable results obtained. 
A piece of the nasal bone three centimeters wide from a line 
connecting the nasal canthi to the base of the nasal peak, was 
removed, excepting two bridges 1.5 centimeters wide at equal 
intervals along the course of the incision. 
Through this opening the tumor, which had completely de¬ 
stroyed the turbinated bones, was removed in sections. The 
hemorrhage, which was very profuse, was arrested with some 
difficulty by gauze packing. 
Four months later the only evidence of previous trouble is 
the cicatrix and sunken condition of the nasal region on the 
affected side. 
This case is by no iheans a new departure, so far as the re¬ 
moval of nasal polypi is concerned, but is very valuable in 
demonstrating the probable maximum amount of skull which 
can be removed and successfully healed.

I report the following case because it is interesting and one 
of rare occurrence. Patient was a grade short-horn cow. 
History .—Cow had been in apparently good health until 
two or three months previous to my call, when the owner 
noticed a gradual failing in health. 
Sy 7 nptoms. —Emaciation, appetite impaired, and a foetid 
discharge from the nose. Upon examination I found tempera¬ 
ture about normal and a feeble pulse; the frontal bones were 
considerably bulged out and tender on percussion. I made up 
my mind I had an abscess of the turbinated bones, and pre¬ 
pared to trephine the frontal sinus, but upon a further examina-
