EXTRACTS FROM FOREIGN JOURNALS.

its borders were inflamed, the hairs all round were covered with a 
sanious offensive discharge; a certain amount of discharge 
passed through the vulva. The abcess was freely open, and a 
dead foetus was removed perfectly intact. No trace of the 
foetus from which the paw had been torn could be found. At 
the examination postponed to the next day, a communication be¬ 
tween the uterus and the external abcess was detected, and after 
forty-eight hours of treatment the slut died. Post-mortem re¬ 
vealed extensive peritonitis with effusion, hernia of the horns of 
the uterus through an opening situated on a level with the 
posterior part of the left mammae opening, which on account of the 
condition of the parts could not be well ascertained as the 
inguinal ring or not. The ureters are drawn down by the uterus 
and form a web with convexity turned downward before reach¬ 
ing the bladder. The horns of the uterus are gangrenous and 
putrified, a part of the body of the uterus is engaged in the cavity 
of the abcess, and seems to be the seat of a stricture quite well 
marked on a level with the superior plan of the abdominal wall. 
The internal surface of the uterus or vagina is inflamed and 
blackish. There is also a complete rupture of the uterus, involv¬ 
ing three coats, and whose aspect shows it to be of recent date. 
The pouch containing the protruding organ has an aufractuous, 
granulating surface in which float pieces of surrounding tissues ; 
frequently it presents adipose masses surrounding the uterus.—

BRONCHOCELE IN A DOG. 
The application of sub-cutaneous injections, as promoted by 
Dr. Luton, have given, in this case, excellent results. 
A dog five months old had near the middle of neck a tumor 
of the size of a small apple, more prominent when the animal 
raised its head ; it is bilobulated, painless, not warm, soft and 
non-fluctuating. Each lobe is ovoid in form, not adherent to 
surrounding tissues, and rolls easily under the skin. Each one is 
lodged near the larynx, on the side of the trachea, and inferiority 
seem they united by a thin band. 
An injection of tincture of iodine (one gramme) was made
