366 THE VETERINARY DOCTOR. 
FrLras.—In some countries and towns cats are terribly annoyed by 
fleas. They are readily removed by a few applications of Persian Insect 
Powder, rubbed into the fur. 
Injuries, ETc.—Cats stand operations of all sorts very well. Ifa 
leg is broken and lacerated by a trap, and cannot be set and put in 
splints, cut it off. Leave sufficient flesh to cover the bone, and have ready 
a wire raised to whzte heat, to cauterize and stop bleeding; then bring the 
flesh together by a needle and thread. If the wound has been made with 
a knife or the teeth of some animal, sew it up. If an ulcer forms from any 
cause, touch it with some caustic or burned alum. Cats will persistently 
lick a wound or ulcer. In some cases it will be well to let them. In 
others it defeats healing. A fine wire muzzle is the only preventive.
