Malignant Tumour of the Tongue in a Horse
The Veter£nary J ournal: pendence is at stake. I anticipate that in course of time the University degrees will be taken by a small proportion of our graduates, and only the fact that the numbers will for some years be limited will prevent the Universities resenting the fact that their degree does not carry a licence to practise. I suppose I ought to be proud of a University connection, but I am not. I prefer the isolation, the independence, and specialisation now afforded by good schools, and one portal to the profession.
MALIGNANT TUMOUR OF THE TONGUE IN A HORSE. BY A.

MIDDIAtHURST, M . R. C.V. S. LIVERPOOL.
On the 21st of September a bay cart gelding, the property of a firm in town, was brought to my infirmary with the following history :For some time past he had been losing condilion, and was constantly salivating, and had some difficulty in masticating and in swallowing. These symptoms having become much aggravated, and a fretid odour coming from his mouth, he was sent in for an opinion and advice. On examination of his mouth I detected at the posterior part of the left side of the tongue a large tumour, which seemed to involve not only the side of the tongue, but also the soft palate posteriorly and the internal aspect of the lower jaw, and the last three molar teeth. The tumour was soft to the touch, and had several ulcers upon it, which gave forth a horrible odour. I advised that, as he was getling on in years, he be put d own. Professor Williams saw the case, and made a microscopic examination, which he states reveals the tumour to have been a lIlyxo-sarcoma.
MALIGNANT EPULIS IN A HORSE. BY H . SUMNER, M.R.C.V.S., LIVERPOOL.
THE subject, a black cob, was first brought to our notice in May 1904. We were told that about November 1903 it had been noticed that one of his incisor teeth was loose, but no special attention was paid to it. The horse was brought to us in May of this year, when we observed there was very considerable thickening of the anterior dental pad, which contained several fistulre. A portion of the tumour was removed and submitted to microscopic· examination by Mr. Montgomery, M.R.CV.S. at the U niversity Comparative Pathological Laboratory and shown to be actinomycosis. Iodine was given internally till the animal's system was saturated, without any alteration in the tumour. Then Gram's solution of iodine was injected into two centres weekly for eight times, but the tumour increased. We then decided to inj ect the iodine solution every other day, but without any satisfactory result; in fact the tumour increased and he was ultimately .destroyed.
