INTUSSUSCEPTION CONSECUTIVE TO A GANGRENOUS SWELLING. 
By M. Lemonnier. 
A sorrel mare, 5 years old, had died from a wound. The his¬ 
tory is that about ten days ago she was stabbed in the back by 
her driver. Four or five days later a large oedema took place, ac¬ 
companied with flow of serosit.y. Shown to a veterinarian, a res¬ 
olutive friction was applied without result, and the mare died a 
few days after, though the day of her death she had been at work, 
and showed signs of sickness only in the evening, when she had 
violent colics.
