complete, he drank freely, the liquid not returning by the nos¬ 
trils; foeces hard and dry; bones flexible; pressure on the 
larynx produced an averted weak cough ; there was no swelling 
of the throat; respiration slightly difficult; sounds on auscultation 
normal; same discharge, yellow and reddish, from the nose; 
pulse irregular and soft, 58 per minute ; mucous membrane not 
injected, but yellowish ; general appearance good ; locomotion 
normal. 
Diagnosis. —Uncertain. Pharyngitis, or perhaps pneumonia of 
the anterior lobes. 
Treatment. —Counter irritants to the throat; seton to the 
chest; electuary of antimony. After three days of this treat¬ 
ment the animal suddenly fell and died without apparent pain. 
Post mortem. —The following lesions were found : lungs con¬ 
gested, not hepatized; trachea and bronchia contained white 
spumous mueosities; liver larger than usual, pale, slightly yellow¬ 
ish, normal in consistency; heart black, syrupy blood in the right 
ventricle, fibrinous clot in the left, structure normal; kidneys ap¬ 
parently sound ; intestines not examined ; muscles pale aud color¬ 
less; throat, two tumors were found at the origin of the oesoph¬ 
agus, of the size of a hen-egg, resting on the infero-posterior face 
of the guttural pouches, and on the superior face of the larynx, 
oesophagus and origin of the trachea—their interior seemed to 
be formed of several small abscesses, and contained a yellowish 
white pus of a fetid odor. 
Mr. A. Mathis considered these as postero-pharyngeal lym¬ 
phatic glands which had undergone degeneration, the diseased 
process of which had probably involved the pneumo-gastric 
nerves.— Ibid.
