Viddate’s Solution and Cartilaginous Quittor By 
P. pieudonne \.—The treatmeut of this troublesome affecEou 
iujectious of Villate’s Solutiou does uot eujoy auy more the 
reputatiou it had years ago, aud accordiug to the author this is 
due to the fact that it is uot carried out properly aud that the 
solutiou is uot used as it should be. For Mr. Dieudouue it 
should be filtrated aud thus be free from the sulphate of lead 
that is iu suspeusiou. Three iudispeusable couditious must be 
filled . (i) Watch the case yourself aud make the iujectiou your¬ 
self ; (2) use a syriuge iu good couditiou aud thoroughly cleau; 
(3) use filtrated Villate’s Solutiou made of sulphate of copper 
aud of ziuc, of each 64 grammes; Goulard’s extract, 1.25 
grammes , viuegar, 1000 grammes. The foot must be properly 
pared aud left uushod, the fistulas are carefully probed ouce to 
examiue^ their course aud depth ; 4? 5 or 6 syriugefuls are 
pushed iuto the tracts every three hours for a few days, uutil 
wheu, the secretiou beiug altered or reduced, the iujectious are 
gradually dimiuished aud stopped. After fifteen days at the 
most, the auimal is cured. If such is the case, it is far superior 
to all forms of treatmeut, iucludiug the operation which de¬ 
mands from four to six weeks, and even sometimes does not 
cure.— {Rec. de Med. Vet.)

Dystokia in a Cow due to Torsion of the Fcetal 
Spine \^By M. Nisei ).—This unusual case was brought to a 
successful termination only after incision of the foetal abdomen, 
removal of the intestinal organs and embryotomy of the left 
hind leg. The presentation was ventral without the presence 
of the extremities. By exploration it was observed that the 
enormous left fiank of the foetus was protruding. Above, the 
croup lying transversely, had in its middle and between the 
two iliums a hard growth (stump of the tail) 5 on the right, one 
hind leg (the left) bent and with the hock resting in a uterine 
cul de sac formed by the anterior legs. The left hind was se¬ 
cured and amputated 5 the abdomen of the foetus freely opened, 
the abdominal organs removed, and after much labor the right
