ABSTRACTS AND REPOR1S.

respiration \,:a5 affected more easily, and the dog seemed to wish to inspire, but it was not before 12.30 P.M. that inspiration was affected naturally and without assistance. Expiration was not yet possible, and it appeared to become more and more difficult to execute, the ribs once elevated becoming fixed to such a degree that it was necessary to press strongly on the chest wall in order to drive the air out of the lungs. Fortunately this did not last long, and by 12.45 P.M. the inspiration was followed by spontaneous expiration, which, however, was irre~ular and trembling. At I P.M. the dog could inspire and expire without assistance. and when lifted off the table on which it had been put it immediately ran off to the home of its master which was not far distant; once there it drank some milk and appeared quite well.

THE ETIOLOGY OF ACTINOMYCOSIS.

IN a case of abdominal actinomycosis in the human subject, Ammentorp on opening one of the abscesses found in its centre a pea-sized concretion, in the centre of which there was recognisable a piece of barley awn about 2 centimetres long. The patient admitted that while he had been in the country during the year before he became ill he had often rubbed out barley heads in his hand and eaten the grain. A somewhat similar case had previously been observed in the Clinique at Vienna; III this case also the patient suffered from abdominal actinomycos:s, and a faocal stone which was found in the patient contained at its centre a barley awn.-Zeitsdtrift I fl· u.

THE ORIGIN OF TRICHINOSIS IN PORK.

OWING to the frequent occurrence of trichinosis in the rats to be found about the premises of knackers, the keeping and fattening of swine in such premises has been forbidden in Austria. This law is amply justified by the experience of practical trichina inspectors. N at long ago in Berlin ten pigs that had been fattened on a knacker's premises were found to be the subjects of trichinosis.-Zeit. I fl. u. Milch. Hjog.
