OPERATIONS WITH ANTISEPTIC PRECAUTIONS. 87 
After six weeks complete healing took place so that the dog 
could chew small bones. 
ATHEROMA ON THE FALSE NOSTRIL OF A FILLY, 
On the outer wall of the left false nostril of a filly a tumor 
the size of a fist was present, which proved to be an Atheroma, 
it having been previously opened up several times without suc- 
cess. A radical operation was decided upon in order to re- 
move the continually recurring tumor. 
After casting the horse, the skin right above the swelling 
was washed with soap, the hair was trimmed, and the field of 
operation disinfected with 1 per cent. sublimate water. After 
splitting open the skin, the sac of the tumor proved to be so 
thin that its contents evacuated immediately through a fissure. 
The encysted tumor was excised and after the wound was 
thoroughly rinsed in a I per cent. solution of sublimate water, 
it was saturated with sublimate silk. The suture and linear 
wound were powdered over with iodoform sugar (5 per cent.), 
so that after a formation of dry scab a healing of the wound, 
priman intentionem, took place after six days. 
As an interesting fact I might as well mention here that 
during my presence six months later on the same farm, I was 
requested by the owner to again examine the filly’s nose as the 
sutures apparently had not yet come out. As a matter of fact, 
all sutures were still present, without, however, any suppura- 
tion or irritation of the vicinity being present. The sutures 
were simply healed in, so that I had to remove them with the 
scissors. 
ACTINOMYCOMA IN THE REGION OF THE PAROTID 
GLAND OF A BULL—REMOVAL—HEALING 
IN THREE WEEKS. 
A Simmenthal bull had a hard painless tumor in the region 
of the left parotid gland, which was supposed to be an ac- 
tinomycoma, and later proved to be such. As all my former 
modes of treatment (cauterization, cutting open, pungent
