EXAMPLES OF ANTISEPTICALLY TREATED CASES. 85 
the indications, therefore, are as follpws: Removal of ne- 
crosed parts, laying open the wound surface by cutting out the 
neighboring horn, and disinfected treatment of the wound. 
I therefore proceed thus: 
After the shoe is removed, by means of a brush and soap 
the whole hoof is thoroughly cleansed. Then, after disinfect- 
ing with a I per cent. sublimate solution, the wound is laid 
open by removing all undermined horn. Necrotic corium of 
the hoof is removed, and then another plentiful rinsing with 
sublimate water follows. After this, either iodoform, or if such 
cannot be obtained, powdered sugar in a thick layer or granu- 
lated coffee, is strewn on the wound, and a moist sublimate 
bandage put on. After eight days at the latest, such a new 
formation of horn is present that after shoeing the horse and 
putting on a few turns of a tarred bandage, the patient can be 
put to work.
