EXAMPLES OF ANTISEPTICALLY TREATED CASES. 81 
one-tenth per cent. solution of sublimate, all necrotic as well as 
probably dying shreds were removed and the wound to com- 
mence with, was treated as “open.” The wound and vicinity 
were twice daily rinsed with sublimate water, and powdered 
with iodoform. On the sixth day the wound was clean, and 
treatment with iodoform sugar, in order to obtain the form- 
ing of a scab, was resorted to. On the tenth day a dry scab 
was formed, under which the wound healed, so that after four 
weeks the animal was capable of resuming work. The defi- 
nite cicatrisation came into effect after six weeks. Formation 
of pus, or swelling of the vicinity, during the process, was not 
present. 
TENDON AND SHEATH OF TENDON WOUND ON THE 
HIND LEGS OF A HORSE. 
The following case is especially interesting on account of the 
complications in its course, and refers to a cob, that received a 
wound on his hind legs by a plowshare, on the fifteenth of 
May, and the following were the conditions: 
In the center of the left metatarsus.there was a superficial- 
wound 10 cm. long, which extended from below outwards, 
and in front obliquely upwards, behind and inwards, exposing 
the inner edge of the perforatus flexor tendon. The wound 
gaped in the center about 2 cm., the edges were rather smooth 
and covered with coagulated synovia. The vicinity of the 
wound was not swollen, but was covered with coagulated 
synovia. 
After removal of the exudations and coagulated synovia 
present in the wound, by means of a I per cent. sutblimate solu- 
tion, the intact tendon of the flexor pedis perforatus came 
into view. In the center the wound had a depth of 2 cm. 
These holes were caused by the flexor pedis perforans tendon 
being half severed. The walls of the cavity of the wound were 
moderately smooth, and were but partly covered with blood 
coagulum, but not as yet with granulations. By running the 
finger down on the upper sheath of the tendon of the flexor 
pedis perforans, a clear wine yellow, threadlike synovia was
