S6 THE VETERINARIAN 



Supernumerary Teeth : Tooth substance may develop 

 in almost any part of the body. These are called Super- 

 numerary Teeth and are most commonly found in the 

 testicles, ovaries and sinuses of the head, etc. 



WOUNDS 



Wounds caused by external injuries have a general re- 

 semblance, and whether clean-cut, punctured, lacerated, 

 poisonous, gunshot, etc., require practically the same 

 treatment. 



Treatment; Wash with a Carbolic solution, one ta- 

 blespoonful to one pint of distilled water. 



Sewing of Wounds : I cannot say that I am in favor 

 of sewing wounds unless they are gaping or wide open. 



After the wound is washed, dust with Iodoform, Bo- 

 racic Acid and Tannic Acid, each one ounce. Powder finely 

 and place in a sifter top can and apply twice daily. 

 Cord or heavy thread may be used for sewing the wound 

 after being saturated in a Carbolic Acid solution, using 

 a large darning needle. If the animal is vicious, place a 

 twitch on his nose or it may be necessary to throw him.
