CALCAREOUS GROWTHS ON THE CHOROID PLEXUSES—ENCEPHA¬ 
LITIS—DEATH. 
By R. A. McLean, Student. 
The subject of the following report was a bay gelding, nine 
years old, the property of Mr. Jacob Sapp, who had bought him 
on the 8th of August, to be used to a business wagon. On the 
9th, at 3:30 A. M., Dr. Coates was called, and on arriving at the 
stable found the horse lying down, and got the following history: 
The horse was bought the day before, and driven, going, the 
owner said, all right, and on being put into the stable was fed, 
showing no signs of sickness. At 3 A. M. the owner was awak¬ 
ened by hearing the horse kicking, and on visiting him and 
finding him down and unable to rise, called the doctor, who, on 
arriving, endeavored to get him up; but although he would rise a 
little he would fall back again, as if paralyzed behind, always 
falling on his left side. The pulse was full and soft, about 44; 
respiration 12 and temperature 101J. On pricking him along 
the back and legs he showed sensation, and at last got up. On 
introducing a cateter, about six pints of urine were withdrawn 
normal in appearance, and acid. In endeavoring to back him out 
of the stall he kept his fore legs stretched as in laminitis, his 
hind legs moving feebly ; but after considerable effort he was got 
out and walked a little, with a swaying motion, but with perfect 
freedom of the extremities. He was offered some grass, which 
he took, chewing it a little and retaining it in his mouth. He 
rested his lips on the manger looked very drowsy.
