strong band of cicatricial tissue, but which, though strong, was 
not yet sufficiently so to allow the limb to remain without artifi¬ 
cial support. The splints were therefore again applied and 
allowed to remain for about two weeks longer. 
As the bandage had occasioned some chafing of the skin at 
two or three points, these were dressed antiseptically until they 
were healed. On the 17th of December the whole apparatus was 
removed and the animal allowed to go home with a strong 
tendon. 
The dog was quite lame when discharged, but this was sup¬ 
posed to be due to the atrophied condition of the muscles of the 
leg, and at the last report these were gradually returning to their 
normal size, and with this change the lameness is gradually dis¬ 
appearing. When last heard from the animal was entirely 
restored, and all that remained of his injury was a little thicken¬ 
ing at the place of the lesion. 
Careful examination of our veterinary literature seems to in¬ 
dicate that this is the first case recorded of so serious an accident 
being followed by such a radical recovery.

ENCEPHALOID CARCINOMA OF THE LIVER AND INTESTINES. 
By Me. J. Bubok. 
This mare, aged twelve years, had been repeatedly laid up on 
account of sickness. In less than two years she had been laid up 
five times, with attacks of varying duration. 
Her sixth attack of sickness dated from the 7th of February 
to the 20th of April, 1885. She at first showed complete ano¬ 
rexia and general prostration. She had lost flesh considerably; 
the skin was dry and coat staring. There was no discharge at 
the nose or any gland. Ho trouble appeared either in the respi¬ 
ration or the circulation. The appetite was capricious and the 
digestion difficult; foeces normal. Rectal examination and 
urinary analysis revealed nothing. The mucous of the eye was 
of a manifestly icterous color. In action the animal was very 
weak. Auscultation and percussion showed nothing abnormal.
