Description | These papers were collected together by Smith under the title 'Genito-Urinary' and relate to cases of horse illness and injury treated by Smith and other army veterinarians. The case notes cover work carried out for the 12th Royal Lancers and 14th King's Hussars in Bangalore [Bengaluru] from 1883-1885 and for the Army Service Corps at Aldershot from 1889-1891
Injuries and illnesses treated include: exhaustion, scirrhous cord, nephritis, diabetes, ovariectomy, ovarian tumour, cystitis, stricture of the urethra, ruptured bladder, castration.
At the front of the folder there is a manuscript list of genito-urinary-related cases recorded elsewhere in post-mortem examination note books, and some manuscript notes on cystic ovaries, dated 1925. There are also paintings of kidneys and scirrhous cord, and a printed version of one of Smith's cases, published in 'The Journal of Comparative Pathology'. |
