of the integument, in surgical opera- 

 tions. Aside from this quite common 

 use of this preparation, I have found 

 tincture of iodine of great worth as an 

 appHcation to calk wounds in the coro^ 

 nary region of the equine foot. When 

 the injured horn has been pared away 

 under the wound in the coronary band, 

 and the loose particles of flesh and hair 

 cleaned away, the wound is freely 

 painted with pure tincture of iodine. 

 This painting is to be repeated several 

 times daily, until recovery takes place. 

 Severe infections rarely occur if the 

 applications are begun within a few 

 hours after the accident occurs. 



Whenever tincture of iodine is used, 

 for the correction of an abnormal- 

 ity in the horse and cow, it must be 

 applied very liberally if the effect is 

 desired with any degree of promptness. 

 This, together with the fact that the 

 tincture is quite irritating to the skin
