The treatment consisted in bitter and analeptic tonics, with 
stimulants and iron water with bran for drinks. Two days after 
the appearance of the swelling, the tumor had changed in charac¬ 
ter, coagulation of the blood having taken place. The animal was 
then thrown down, a large incision made, and a clot of blood ex¬ 
tracted. Its size represents about four liters of blood. Astrin¬ 
gent carbolized dressings were put on, with a quill suture. The 
next day another clot of the same size was removed and the wound 
left open and watched against a return of hemorrhage. The in¬ 
ternal treatment was continued, granulations were formed, and in 
about two weeks entirj convalescence was established. The 
secretion of the milk on the left side has entirely ceased.— An-

A Percheron stallion, eight years old, employed in omnibus 
service, was treated for flatulent colic by puncture of the coecum. 
Three weeks after he seemed to have entirely recovered, though 
for the last few days he seemed to have some difficulty in urinat¬

onl} 7 pass a few drops of urine. 
When brought to treatment, he seemed depressed ; had no 
tympanites; loins stiff; pulse strong, sixty per minute. If in the 
stall, he lies on the left side and remains quiet, after a few in¬ 
stants rising and trying to micturate, and making violent efforts, 
sometimes passing a few drops, at other times nothing. Rectal 
examination reveals a round mass, which seems to be of the size 
of a man’s head, which is taken for the bladder much distended. 
This again excites the efforts of the animal to pass water, but in 
vain. The urethra shows no dilatation in any point of its extent. 
Catheterization becoming immediately necessary, was followed 
by the escape of about seven liters of very thick urine, and the 
animal seemed relieved. The treatment prescribed consisted of 
injections of decoctions of flax-seed, with fifteen gramms of oil of
