BLISTERS OR VESICANTS. 
Busters are applications which inflame the skin, and produce a secre- 
tion of serum between the cutis and cuticle, by which the latter is 
raised in the form of small bladders ; but in consequence of the presence 
of the hair, these are very imperfectly seen in the horse. ‘They consist 
of two kinds—one, used for the sake of counter-irritation, by which the 
original disease is lessened, in consequence of the establishment of this 
irritation at a short distance from it ; the other, commonly called “ sweat- 
ing” in veterinary surgery, by which a discharge is obtained from the 
vessels of the part itself, which are in that way relieved and unloaded : 
there is also a subsequent process of absorption in consequence of the 
peculiar stimulus applied.
