the same time allow the hand to rest upon the opening to 

 keep the bowel in proper position. Make a small incision in 

 the scrotum just large enough to admit the passage of the 

 testicle through it Slip the clamp on over the cord and at 

 the same time draw up the white covering or tunics cut 

 through in letting the testicle out. Fasten this securely in 

 the clamp together with the cord. This prevents the bowel 

 from again coming down. It swells in a couple of days 

 sufficient to fill the opening through which it protruded, and 

 the rupture entirely disappears. Remove the clamp in four 

 or five days and there is no danger of its re-occurrence. 

 Rupture of this kind in a stallion cannot be successfully 

 treated other than in this manner.
