is to be discharged into the orifice, and suffered to re -^ 

 main, as much as can be retained. A pouhice of bread 

 or oat meal is to cover the part, and the cure will be 

 completed after two or three days. 



But unfortunately fur the owner and the animal, the 

 disease is seldom taken in hand thus early, but is suffer- 

 ed to proceed until much stronger means become ne- 

 cessary. For this purpose take a long narrow slip of 

 thin paper, and moisten it with muriate of antimony ; 

 over this sirew powdered corrosive sublimate, and roll 

 up the paper, so that it may not be too big for the pipe 

 which it is intended tor. Generally it happens that the 

 opening requires to be enlarged before this pledget so 

 charged with the escharotic, can be fairly introduced. — 

 Take especial care that the pledget reach the bottom of 

 the pipe, cut it off close, and pass a similar one into as 

 many sinuses as may have been ascertained forms the 

 disease. As considerable irritation of the part will 

 quickly ensue, a poultice sufficient to cover the foot sho'ld 

 be previously got ready, and applied immediately. 



In three or four days, the bandage being removed, the 

 diseased parts wdl slow off, a considerable opening pre- 

 sents itself leaving a healthy looking sore. Let this be 

 sponged off with warm water, and when dry apply tinc- 

 ture of Benjamin, which will effect a cure. A solution 

 of white vitrei is used with advantage, especially when 

 a disposition to secrete unhealthy matter is at any time 

 perceptible. Physic the patient after the operation, ac- 

 cordino^ to the actual state of his bowels, the motion 

 whereof will alleviate the pain necessarily attending the 

 escharotic quallity of the pledgets apphed to the foot. 

 If the horse's bowels be found in the ordinary state, give 

 two balls on successive days, thus : 



First Alterative Ball. — Aloes and hard soap, 2 or 3 drachms: 

 oil of cloves, 6 drops: calomel, 4 dx"achms. 



Second. — Aloes 4 or 5 drachms ; soap, 6 drachms ; oil of ajiia- 

 seed, 10 drops. 



Mix with mucilage sufficient to form a ball of each 

 for two doses ; give No. 2 the day succeeding No. 1. 



YIVES. — This is a turn given to swellings of the 

 glands just under the ear, towards the angle of the jaw,
