In sub-acute moist eczema of dogs, carbolic acid with zinc oint- 

 ment (gr. v.-gi,), or the following prescription, will be found of 

 value in relieving itching and promoting recovery:

Care should always be taken not to apply carbolic preparations 

 over any considerable extent of raw surface, and to muzzle dogs in the 

 event of an opportunity being afforded them to . lick off any undue 

 amount of the acid. A solution (1-50) in boiling water forms an effi- 

 cient antiseptic and sedative inhalation for horses suffering from catarrh 

 of the upper air passages. One of the most excellent remedies for burns 

 consists of carbolic acid in carron oil. It relieves pain and lessens sup- 

 puration, although carbolic acid in oil possesses little antiseptic prop- 

 erty, because phenol is so much more soluble in oil than in the watery 

 protoplasm of bacteria.

Phenol, with camphor, forms a liquid which is without the toxic and 

 caustic properties of phenol alone. It makes a serviceable application, 

 on absorbent cotton or gauze, for small burns, wounds and ulcers, as in 

 broken knees and in necrosis of the coronary band in horses.
