placed in the stomach tincture of opium, 5 ii, tincture of nux 
vomica, § i, in a pint of whiskey and two quarts of milk. 
For sutures for the rumen and peritoneum, I used violin 
strings soaked in carbolic solution. I closed the incision with 
what I call the herring-bone stitch. It is a stitch that ties a 
knot as it is taken, and cannot slip. The muscular tissues and 
skin I drew together with heavy tape-quill sutures. I dressed 
it with salicylic ointment, and placed over the incision a pad 
of oakum saturated with a solution of corrosive sublimate, 
i-iooo, and held in place by a many-tailed bandage passing 
around the body. 
I saw the animal the next day. Her temperature was 
103° F., and her pulse was 60. She drank a little gruel. Faeces 
rather hard. 
The next day her temperature was 102^, pulse 50; faeces 
soft. She drank a pint of gruel and appeared bright. In forty- 
eight hours I saw her again. The wound looked well, and after 
thoroughly cleaning the same, I dressed it as before. I saw her 
again in three days. She ate a little soft food, drank freely, and 
gave a little milk. I dressed the wound as before, and removed 
one suture. Six days passed before I saw her again. In the 
meantime I had the parts kept well wet with the solution, of 
corrosive sublimate. On my next visit I removed all the sut¬ 
ures and filled what was left of the incision with a preparation 
composed of iodoform, camphor and Fuller’s earth. I left direc¬ 
tions that some of this be dusted in three or four times a day, as 
the occasion required. 
In four weeks from the time of operation, the incision was 
closed and the cow was apparently well. 
INTERNAL HEMORRHAGE. 
By Herbert S. Perley, D. V. S. Ottawa, Ont. 
The subject, a cross-bred fox and bull terrier, two years old, 
weighing twenty-seven pounds, was brought to infirmary bleed¬ 
ing from the mouth. The haemorrhage was not extensive and 
owner stated the dog had been bleeding for 24 hours. The 
mouth was thoroughly cleansed with cold water and an examina¬ 
tion made for broken teeth or lacerations of tongue or cheeks. A 
small laceration of the right superior lip was found, from which 
blood was oozing. As suificient blood was coming from this to 
account for what dropped from the mouth, no further examina¬ 
tion was made. A tampon of absorbent cotton soaked in tinct. 
ferri perchlor. was applied, which had the desired effect. The
