DISCOVERY OF VACCINE HORSE-POX. 
The 5th of May, Mr. Alexander showed to Mr. LeBlanc a case 
of spontaneous horse-pox among the horses of Mr. Marx, on a well- 
bred horse from Germany. The vaccinal lymph was inoculated 
by M. Chambon upon a heifer three months old, by three punc¬ 
tures on the udder. These developed normally, and with their 
lymph another was successfully vaccinated on the 13th. The 
19th, she exhibited a handsome vaccinal eruption, (60 postules). 
With the lymph of those, two heifers were also inoculated, and by 
them the service of vaccination of the society d’Hygeine will be 
well provided.— Gazette Medicate. 
STERILITY DUE TO THE OBLITERATION OF THE OS UTERI 
IN A COW. 
Twenty-six months old, she takes the bull, but remains ster¬ 
ile. When first seen by the author of the report, she had 
all the signs of health, in good condition, hair silky, nose 
cool; she was lively, had no nymphonia, became in heat every 
five or six weeks—this lasted two or three days. The empirics 
attribute this condition to a wart, and the clitoris had been cauter¬ 
ized with actual cautery brought to white heat. 
On examination of the vagina, the hand being first well oiled, 
the os uteri felt of the normal size, but gave the sensation of a 
hard, somewhat fibrous cord; it was inextensible, and the entrance 
to the uterus was tightly closed. It took more than half an hour 
of manipulation before the end of the index finger could be in¬ 
troduced. The attempt to fecundate was always followed by 
failure. The cow was ultimately killed.— Journal de Iyo?is.
