t6o wound S. 



laceration in conjund:ion; at others they are 

 merely fuperficial; and the treatment muft be 

 exadly the fame as laid down for other wounds, 

 making fuch allowances and alterations as 

 circumftances may require, or emergencies 

 diftate, 



Th^fame fyftem muft be adopted In all In- 

 juries fuftained between hair and hoof, except 

 where a horfe has been ftubbed in hunting, as 

 fometimes happens in a leap or in covert; when 

 a ftump coming in immediate contracft with 

 the upper edge of the hoof, a laceration or pe- 

 netration is eife(3;ed, in which cafe the mem- 

 brane is almoft inftantly protruded; and unlels 

 fpeedily prevented, foon conftitutes the origin of 

 what is afterwards denominated a QUITTOR, 

 To effed this, diiTolve a drachm of corroiive 

 fublimate in one ounce of champhorated fpirits; 

 and, after touching the prominence well with 

 the folution, bind up firm, (covering the pro- 

 truded part with a finall piece of card or thin 

 flieetlead), and repeat it once a day for three 

 or four days, not negleding the bandage, and 

 taking care the foot be not immerfed in water.
