SOUND AND UNSOUND HORSES 



The frontal and maxillary sinuses 

 should be " percussed." 



4— 5UB = MAXILLARY REGION. 



5ub = MaxilSary Glands.- Very fre- 

 quently enlarged, either through acute 

 specific (strangles and glanders) disease, 

 or as a chronic induration apart from 

 either of these, or chronic glanders. 



When forming an opinion as to the 

 probable harmless nature of any growth 

 in this region, special care must be 

 exercised. It would be a pity to reject 

 a good horse for what may be a com- 

 paratively harmless tumour. The his- 

 tory, if reliable, will be of service. 



Fistula of the Duct — Reject. 



Bony Tumours — Reject for all such 

 growths. 



5.— PAROTID REGION. 



Fistula of the Duct.^ — ^Not un- 

 common. Reject.
