Twenty-four hours later the animal was worse, no rumination, 
sanies characteristic, nose dry and watery, pulse small and thready, 
respiration deep and grunting, swelling under the abdomen and 
thorax. Septicsemic poisoning was rapidly advancing. 
The case demanded prompt treatment. About twenty little 
pouches were made in the gangrenous subcutaneous cellular tis¬ 
sue, and several drops of iodurated tincture of iodine, mixed 
with water—one-fifth—were introduced in each of them. The 
same operation was to be repeated during the twenty-four hours 
often enough to use about three ounces of the mixture. The in¬ 
cisions in the udder were injected with phenic solutions, tonic and 
alcoholic drinks given. The next day nearly the same treatment was 
pursued. Twenty-four hours after the animal began to feel bet¬ 
ter ; her appetite and rumination had returned, and after a short 
time she recovered, but not without giving much anxiety about 
the abscesses and sloughs which followed the injections of iodine. 
The diseased udder sloughed away after thirty-one days, the pro¬ 
cesses being accompanied at different times by abundant hemor¬ 
rhages, which undoubtedly must have interfered with the rapid 
recovery of the animal .—Recueil de Medecine Veterinaire.

AGAINST ITS RABIFIC MANIFESTATIONS.

These experiments were made by Dr. H. Peyraud. A rabbit 
received in the veins of one ear two drops of the essence. Twenty 
seconds after the animal was thrown into a state of sideration ; lie 
jumped forwards, then backwards, and fell into convulsions. The 
mucous membranes are pale, the ears red and warm, the teeth 
grind against each other, a bloody saliva flows from the mouth, 
the urine and faeces escape freely, respiration is accelerated, diffi¬ 
cult, and interrupted by a peculiar cry. A stick presented to the
