Abortive treatment of equine filariasis by the hypodermic injection of a 

 permanganate of potassium solution, Mondet (Rev. G^n. MM. V^t., 22 (19 IS), 

 Xo. 262, pp. 53^-587; abs. in Vet. Rec, 27 (1915). Xo. l.'i9J,. p. ^98).— The sub- 

 cutaneous injection of 10 cc. of a 1 per cent solution of permanganate of potas- 

 sium at six points in the pericicatricial zone has resulted in the cure of summer 

 sores. The author is of the opinion that this treatment will give good results 

 and that it may also be employed in filariasis of the tendons.

Epizootic lymphangitis in France: Its diagnosis and treatment, J. BiiiurS 

 (Vet. Jmir., 7S (1917), No. SOS. pp. 17S-175).—Th\s is a review of the arUcle by 

 Brldr^ above noted. 



The author, together with Negri and Trouette, has obtained excellent re.sults 

 from the intravenous injection of arsenobenzol, but novarsenobenzol is deemed 

 much more convenient to use and quite as effective. He recommends a dose of 

 from 2 to 3 gm. in 20 cc. of distilled water, the injection to be made in the 

 Jugular vein. 



" Stomatitis contagiosa " in horses, A. C. Burton (Vet. Jour., 73 (1917), 

 No. 505, pp. 234-21,2. fig.t. .^K— The author has found that this disease of the 

 horse is transmissible to man, both he and two assistants having contracted it. 

 The di.sease in man was of short duration and mild, but very painful. The 

 incubation period appeared to be from one to three days. Any immunity con- 

 ferred by an attack api)ears to be short, reinfection having apparently taken 

 place in less than two months. 



The author has found frequent irrigation and cleansing of the mouth witli 

 potassium permanganate (0.5 oz. to 5 gal. of water) by means of a Vermorel 

 sprayer carried on the back, the nozzle covered with a piece of rubber hose 

 pipe, to be a very satisfactory means of treatment for army horses.

 (Afjr. Jour. India. 12 (1917), No. 2, pp. 268-278. pis. 2). — This reports upon an 

 outbreak of this disease among the young stock donkey jacks at tlie Govern- 

 ment Cattle Farm, Hissar, on July 20, 1916.
