54 TUMORS, SWELLINGS. 



Swelling of the feet, is common among cattle and 

 horses, and may be either hot or cold. 



Swelling of the scrotum, accompanied with fever, 

 is hot, and is liable to produce unpleasant conse- 

 quences. 



Swelling of the head may occur in various portions 

 and degrees. 



Swelling of the Sheath, which may become indu- 

 rated by neglect. 



Tumor at the point of the elbow, which is of vari- 

 ous sizes, globular, and may attain the size of a 

 child's head, is soft and somewhat hot. It is caused 

 by the pressure of the shoe or by an uneven pave- 

 ment while lying. After a time it becomes pendant, 

 cold, insensible, and filled with yellowish fluid. 



Tumors may form upon the edge of the eyelids^ 

 from some internal cause. 



Encysted Tumors (so called because the enlarge- 

 ment is closed in a sack ) are frequent, more or less 

 round, movable beneath the skin, painless, and some- 

 times attain to a considerable size. They are the 

 result of some internal cause not easily defined. 



TREATMENT. In all ca c es where a tumor or 

 swelling is hot or painful, give the FEVER SPECIFIC, 

 A, A, every two, four or six hours, in doses of fifteen 

 drops according to the urgency of the case. Keep 

 the animals on low diet and thus seek to disperse it. 

 If caused by an external pressure or injury, bathe 

 the part frequently with THH; MARVEL, or with dilu- 

 ted ARNICA. If the tumor notwithstanding the 

 treatment, has softened, grows whitish at some 

 point, painful, and smaller, open it, then treat it as 

 h, case of an ulcer, giving the Specific for ULCERS, 

 1 I, morning and night, until healed.
