rare, and to avoid them, one must assure himself that such communica- 
tion does not exist: If it does, it is prudent to ignore the iodined injec- 
tion. Strong phenic acid gives as good results as the iodine. Whatever 
ingredient is used, the injection must be followed by slightly compressive 
bandage, extending from the foot to the middle of the cannon. It is 
sometimes necessary to obtain recovery to resort to free opening and 
curetting of the pouch.
