VETERINARY JURISPRUDENCE. 
AN EXPERT IN A CASE OF ROARING. 
Q. What is your business ? 
A. Veterinary surgeon. 
Q. How long have you been engaged in that business ? 
A. I have been practising some over twenty years; for eight 
years I haven’t done anything else. 
Q. State what the defect in horses called “ whistling,” is, 
what it arises from and where is the seat of the difficulty ? 
A. I have found it in my practice caused from ulceration 
of the throat—horse disease; I have never seen a horse in my 
practice that whistled unless he had that disease; it is located in 
the throat—right in the swallow. 
Q. Can it, in your judgment, be produced suddenly—by a 
tight collar ? 
A. I shouldn’t think it could; it might be for a few minutes, 
but as soon as the horse got his breath he would get over it. 
Q. How have you discovered it was in the throat ? 
A. By examining the throats of horses, and driving horses 
and getting out and examining them, and I find the trouble in 
the windpipe close to the jaw; I have noticed in wind-broken 
horses the glands were ulcerated more or less.
