THE HORSE 



Lastly, there are two other diseases sometimes associated 

 with castration, viz. tetanus or lock-jaw and botrymy- 

 cosis, the latter disease being one which affects the cord 

 and is due to a species of ray fungus, similar to a corre- 

 sponding disease occasionally observed affecting the 

 tongue in cattle. This disease leaves one or more suppur- 

 ating points and may persist for many years. It is 

 accompanied by great thickening of the cord but can 

 be cured by operation. The author has performed a 

 number of operations of this kind and always very 

 successfully.
