tho butting of a goat woro noticoablo on tho
body. This íb tho second death which has boon
attributed boro within a twelvemonth or so to
that vory obscuro form of disease-hydatids.
Tho formor waa a girl of about sixtoon years,
whioh the hydatids woro found wns tho
brain, somo four or fivo hundred boing dis-
covered in ouo sido of that organ. Tho pro-
fessional gentlomen engaged considered tho
features presented by that caso exceedingly Bill
guiar, and thoso of tho present aro viowod as
being still moro extraordinary and unusual.
Somo of tho hydatids woro attached to tho
floating in tho blond contained in tho loft von
triclo. Tho lad nppoars to havo occasionally
boon subject to fainting fits, and thoso aro sup-
posed to havo boon produced by tho intorforenco
of this organic growth with tho action of tho
vulvos of tho heart. Tho subject as affooting
tho human framo is exceedingly obscuro, but
tho infroquoncy of its known occurrcnco com-
mends itself to tho notice of tho professional
that no marks of violence likely to arise from
the butting of a goat were noticeable on the
body. This is the second death which has been
attributed here within a twelvemonth or so to
that very obscure form of disease-hydatids.
The former was a girl of about sixteen years,
which the hydatids were found was the
brain, some four or fivo hundred being dis-
covered in one side of that organ. The pro-
fessional gentlemen engaged considered the
features presented by that case exceedingly sin-
gular, and those of the present are viewed as
being still more extraordinary and unusual.
Some of the hydatids were attached to the
floating in the blood contained in the left ven-
tricle. The lad appears to have occasionally
been subject to fainting fits, and those are sup-
posed to have been produced by the interference
of this organic growth with the action of the
valves of the heart. The subject as affecting
the human frame is exceedingly obscure, but
the infrequency of its known occurrence com-
mends itself to the notice of the professional
