I gave calomel, which produced catharsis, and the case termi¬ 
nated favorably. I have had another case since in a dachshund * 
symptoms similar, treatment the same, recovery. If it is not 
azoturia, what is it ? 
Dr. Dickson: I have often had cases in which they would 
drag the hind legs for two or three weeks, but yield to treat¬ 
ment, but they were somehow different from the cases described 
m my paper. 
Dr. Bell: Did you make an analysis of the urine? 
Dr. Dickson : No. 
di Robertson : Did you observe any appearance of jaun- 
• Dickson : \es, a slight trace of it in the second dog. I 
did not look close enough at the first one to observe it. 
Dr. Robertson : The discoloration on this blotter from the 
sample of urine you furnished us, looks as though it might be 
due to bile. * 
Di. Gi/l: One or two points in Dr. Dickson’s paper bear 
out his diagnosis, viz.: the hardness and swelling of the gluteal 
muscles, with the characteristic appearance of urine the fact 
“^t it occurred in plethoric animals, with lack of exercise etc 
I think the coloring matter in this sample of urine resembles 
haemoglobin rather than bile, and, with Dr. Dickson’s consent 
I will have it tested at the Board of Health Laboratory and re¬ 
port the result of the test at the next meeting. 
Dr. Goubeaud reported a similar case to Dr. Dickson’s in a 
tox terrier let out to urinate, came in stiff and trembling 
muscles hard, and could not stand ; was put on strychnine and 
calomel; died. Post-mortem revealed nothing wrong with in¬ 
testinal tract. . 
Dr. Gill gave a discourse on “ Some Important Veterinary 
Events of Next September.” This subject was fully dis¬ 
cussed. 
Moved and seconded, that Drs. Dickson and Gill receive a 
vote of thanks for their papers. Carried. 
Judiciary Committee reported progress. 
. M °ved by Dr. Clayton that the Secretary be authorized to 
issue certificates to members who are shown to be scpiare on the 
oo s and pay an additional one dollar to cover expenses of" 
engrossing, mailing, etc., instead of five dollars as heretofore 
Seconded. Carried. 
The Secretary was so authorized by the President.
