wound in the scrotum. There was perforation of the small intes¬ 
tine, and intestinal fistula. Finding that no thorough examina¬ 
tion could be made without throwing the animal, and fearing the 
consequences of such manipulation, he was left alone, with direc¬ 
tions to keep him quiet, and to feed him lightly on soft food. 
The prognosis however, was of course, wry serious. No change 
in the condition of the animal seemed to take place, until two 
weeks later, when the fistula was found to be entirely dry, and the 
wound of the scrotum almost entirely closed. The animal had 
been castrated by the process of covered testicles .—Journal de

INCOMPLETE FRACTURE OF THE TIBIA. 
'By M. Leoot. 
A seven-year-old mare received from another horse a violent 
kick while being turned out. From that moment she refused to 
move, and when compelled to do so, betrayed great lameness on 
the right hind leg. The next day the lameness was still well 
marked. The foot did not rest on tbe ground, and she was evi¬ 
dently troubled with a sort of lancinating pains, with symptoms of 
a high febrile condition When compelled to move, she walked 
on three legs. On examining the leg, a small wound and depila- 
tion were found a little below and forward of the region of the 
patella. The inner side of the tibial region was the seat of swell¬ 
ing, and painful on pressure. No other symptoms appeared. It 
was evidently a split, or incomplete fracture of the tibia. The 
treatment consisted in complete rest and easily digestible food, blis¬ 
tering over the injured region, and antipyretic medicines. Three 
weeks afterwards the animal rested her foot on the ground, and 
after six weeks carried weight on the leg without difficulty.—
