able to teach anything.— L. Davy. 
In Horses.-— In 1862 I was called to attend a ten-year old 
mule which had an enormous abscess at the left elbow. I opened 
it, and the animal recovered. In March, 1864, the same animal 
was sick with a gourmy sore throat. She would not allow anyone 
to approach her, even chasing her owner out of the stable, when¬ 
ever I was there with him. In October, 1869, she became lame 
with chronic sprain of the tendons of a front leg. Brought to me 
in harness, she would not let me come close to her. A friend of 
mine, a veterinarian, whom I requested to examine her, was per¬ 
mitted to do so without any trouble, but as soon as she saw me 
she became uncontrollable. Her harness was then put on her and 
she was placed between the shafts of a wagon with her head 
towards it and her hind quarters where her head ought to have 
been. She then let me handle her and even operate her without dif¬ 
ficulty. Evidently she remembered the operation performed on 
hdr in 1862, and was bound to revenge herself if she had the 
opportunity. 
In Dogs. —In 1867 a friend of mine, a butcher, while chop¬ 
ping off meat, let his knife drop upon the nose of his dog, which 
was close by him picking up the small pieces of meat falling on 
the floor. The nose was hanging only by a small piece of flesh 
and was bleeding freely. Being called io see him, I immediately 
sewed it with a continued suture, and after a few days the animal 
was cured. Since that day it became impossible to enter the 
house of my friend, and when the dog would see or hear me he man¬ 
ifested his gratitude by significant growlings. During five years 
after, until he died, he evidently proved that he remembered the 
pain lie had endured when I tried to save his nose .—Emile Thierry.
