 Iodoform. 



To prevent shaking of the ear, apply a many- 

 tailed bandage. 



"External" canker of the ear is simply a wound 

 on the flap of the ear, which has little inclination to 

 heal, and is difficult to cure. The thickened edges 

 of the wound must be removed with the fingers, 

 and then the sore smeared with Venice Tur- 

 pentine. 



Capped Elbow 



The old terms "capulet" and "shoe-boil" 

 are still employed by some as indicative of this 

 malady, which consists of a bruise at the point of 

 the elbow, generally caused by the inner heel of 

 the shoe, though sometimes by the outer, and 

 sometimes from other causes. It corresponds to 

 capped hock, and the continued irritation leads to 

 the production of a variable sized fibroid tumour. 

 The skin may be broken, and slight suppuration 

 very often occurs. The cause must be removed, 

 and the animal compelled to wear a leather or 

 rubber ring round the fetlock, whilst in the 

 stable. The rest of the treatment is of a sur- 

 gical nature.
