pathologist. Its intrinsic interest is not lessened, even if it is 
regarded as a curiosity only; but it also indicates that, besides 
enteric fever, pneumonitis, and tuberculosis, another vice of nu¬ 
trition is shared by us all. 
Case I.—A chicken whose humerus had been broken. Three 
months after, a lump the size of an egg was present. In the 
center of this mass the ununited fracture could be perceived. 
Death followed from exhaustion after some months. The lump 
was a very finely developed, large, round-celled sarcoma. The 
cells were in nests proliferating, some multinucleated. There 
was no proper callous formation, but the ends of the bones were 
swollen, softened, and covered with the cell-deposit. The lym¬ 
phatic glands were not inflamed. The tumor weighed 64 
grammes. 
Case II.—An old hen. Feet frost-bitten. A piece of super¬ 
ficial tissue about two centimeters in diameter came away from 
one foot. The resulting sore was treated with the compound 
tincture of benzoin and fresh lard, equal parts, made into an 
ointment. The right foot healed completely ; the left nearly so. 
This hen hatched a brood of chickens in the spring. The next 
time I noticed her, about midsummer, she was moving in so pecu¬ 
liar a manner that I caught her, made an examination, and found 
the left sole occupied by an elastic mass of about the size of a 
pigeon’s egg. The leg soon became useless, and the hen died 
marasmic. On post-mortem, I found the lymphatic glands en¬ 
larged, containing multinucleated cells, the stroma proliferating 
pari passa. The extremity of the tarso-metatarsal bone was a 
mass of encephaloid disease. 
Case III.—A capon. I removed the glands by the usual 
operation. The capon died, at the end of three months, of acute 
peritonitis. He was as large as a turkey. The post-mortem 
showed that the peritonitis was caused by the bursting of a cyst 
containing some irritant fluid, which cyst formed part of a tumor 
as large as an egg, occupying the place of the right testicle. This 
tumor was an adenoid sarcoma. The size of the tumor was re¬ 
markable in view of the capon’s development. 
Case IV.—A fine setter. Wounded in the mouth by the
