Should be accurately brought together and held by collodion, 

 which is to be laid on with a brush, layer after layer, until 

 strong enough to hold safely. If this is not at hand bring 

 together with a quilled suture — ^the stitches with carbolated 

 thread or catgut, being tied round two quills lying on the 

 respective flaps, so as to prevent puckering of the edges and 

 to secure even healing. If the lips are brought into accurate 

 apposition and stitches placed closely together, the quills may 

 be discarded. To prevent rubbing of the healing and itching 

 eye, turn the animal round in the stall and tie short to the two 

 posts so that the head cannot reach either. Feed from a bag 

 hung in front and cut open halfway down to admit the nose.
