72 ANBIAL CASTRATION 



cellaria may do considerable damage by way of 

 contamination of the castration wounds. When this 

 condition prevails, the animals should be confined suit- 

 ably, the wounds curetted, and immediately irrigated 

 with chloroform or aqua ammonia. This procedure 

 includes the regular irrigation with a suitable antisep- 

 tic solution, following, and further prophylactic treat- 

 ment consists in the local application in proper sus- 

 pension, of agents that are repellent to the fly, most 

 of these mixtures containing tar or napthalene, and 

 being suitable for this purpose.
