Paralysis of the Lower Jaw in a Dog [By Prof. 
Trischera]. According - to the opinion of the author, agreeing 
with that of others, this affliction is sometimes of rheumatic orf- 
gin. He records the following cases as evidence : The former 
is that of a dog which after being kept in a warm apartment, 
regularly heated, had to remain in a damp, cold place, badly pro¬ 
tected. ^ During that time he took warm baths. After one of 
these lie was found with his mouth half ooen, a condition 
which increased during the following two days. There was no 
lesion of the maxiliary joint nor to the pharynx, nor any other 
abnormal manifestation ; the dog was gay and coaxing. He was 
hungry, but was unable to take food and to be fed ; his food 
had to be placed in his mouth. The rheumatic origin of the 
trouble seemed positive and the dog was treated accordingly ; 
he recovered in less than fifteen days. In the second case, a dog 
which had been placed in a cold and damp kennel while in 
perspiration, presented the same condition. He was treated in 
the same manner, but his recovery was very tedious.—( Clinica

Luxation of the Humerus in a Horse [By Prof. A. 
Tj ischera] .—Although this case presents nothing unusual, says 
the author, it deserves notice by its rarity and by the com¬ 
parative easy manner the reduction was obtained. It is the 
case of a fourteen-year-old horse which was found one morning 
lying on the right side Being unable to get up, he was raised 
and thus his condition made out. There was a great deformity 
at the inferior half of the right shoulder. The animal was 
scarcely able to move and showed on the shoulder a swellino - 
somewhat conical, formed by the humerus resting on the 
scapula. It was evidently a case of dislocation of the shoulder 
joint. The animal was cast on the left side and extension 
with counter extension was applied. After much effort which 
had to be repeated four times and applied by several men, the 
author at last succeeded in reducing the luxation. The patient 
was. raised with much care, was walked slowly to his stable, 
having a stiong man supporting the articulation during the 
wa k, and was placed in slings. Two hours later a strong 
b ister was applied on the shoulder joint. In 25 days the horse 
resumed work.— (Clinica Veterinaria.)
