w«5nairy considered absolutely necessary to blister a pait that has been 

 fed, in ordvr to insure the full amount of the advantage which is 

 .expected to arise from the operation. And certainly, in cases of old 

 Lamenesses of very long- standing, there may be use in Blistering in 

 the course of six or seven weeks after firing, provided at the expira- 

 tion of this time, the fired surface have little or no remains of heat 

 or iniiammv'tion in it. 



But in all cases where it becomes necessary to have recourse to the 

 Cautery, ih order to effect that object which it is not in the power of 

 Blistering to accomplish, it is far better to apply the former remedy^ 

 With a degree of severity sufficient to preclude the necessity of ret 

 eorting" to Blistering^ after the use of it has been adopted,

 tlorse, are of four different kinds: viz. The Ascaris or Needle 

 Worm, the Teres or Round Worm> the Toenia or Tape Worm, 

 and the Bot. I have included the latter, however, purely in de-

 deviate from it, although the Bot cannot be considered by the Natu- 

 ralist as a Worm, but as a Larva or Caterpillar ; a fact this, whfch 

 Was established m^ny years ago by that scientific Veterinariani^
