Warts 



These occur in various parts of the body, and are 

 common to most animals. On the tongue, cheeks 

 and mouth ; also within the ear and upon the 

 generative organ of the dog ; whilst in the horse 

 they are commonest upon the belly and sheath. 

 In cattle, the belly is sometimes literally covered 

 with warts. 



To remove them in the dog, dress with Calcined 

 Magnesia or Bismuth. Single warts may be liga- 

 tured, but if multiple, they require enucleation.

Weed, also known as " Shoot of cold," and

 common complaint in the horse. 



It comes on suddenly, as a rule, after the 

 animal has stood in the stable for a day or two, 

 following active work ; hence the use of the term 

 "Monday morning" disease. It is commonest 

 amongst heavy horses, and one attack predisposes 

 to others. It appears to be a congestion of the 

 lymphatic glands, either under the arm, or of those 

 upon the inner side of the thigh, usually the 

 latter. It is denoted by swelling and tenderness ;
