portion of this lobe, as well as the rest of the liver, had a healthy 
appearance. No biliary concretions were detected within this 
organ. 
It is actually marvelous on the part of nature, when we realize 
how she endeavored to arrange an exit for the pus that was 
lodged within the liver, by forming an adventitious sac connecting 
the diseased portion of the liver witli the abdominal walls, as well 
as to the intestines already mentioned. It is my opinion, from 
the relations the abscess bore to the skin on the one hand, and the 
intestinal walls on the other, that a spontaneous cure would have 
been effected by establishing an outlet for the pus, either exter¬ 
nally or into the bowels, if the animal had not been so completely 
debilitated, which shortened her existence. If the location of 
the abscess had been indicated by a swelling externally, I should 
have been enabled to assist nature in accomplishing her efforts by 
the aid of a scalpel, and thus releasing the pus; but, as it was, 
no swelling of any kind was discernible anywhere, not even an 
oedema of the abdominal walls or extremities. Other symptoms, 
such as rigors, icterus, and lameness of the right shoulder, which 
we would expect to find, were absent, to my knowledge. As to 
the etiology of this rare case it is justifiable to presume that it 
had been occasioned by the absorption of material from the disin¬ 
tegrated cellular elements of the diseased glandular tissue that 
prevailed in abundance during this animal’s severe throat 
affliction.
