Galls, Wind. See Tenosynovitis. 



Gangrene. 



Apply antiseptics to wound, as dichloramine-T, or compress wet with cor- 

 rosive sublimate (1-3,000), Dakin's solution, etc., while waiting for line of 

 demarcation to form. Remove dead tissue by knife or actual cautery. Or 

 apply bromine with glass rod, or phenol and glycerine (1-8), to slough. In 

 moist gangrene, apply following paste: phenol (3ss), powd. charcoal (oii)> 

 glycerine (oiv). Tonics: tine, of ferric chloride and quinine.

 occupied must be most carefully cleaned, including harness, utensils, stable 

 fittings, mangers, walls, floors, and disinfected. Exposed or suspicious cases 

 tested with mallein, or 50 to 100 cc. of blood withdrawn from the jugular 

 by aspirating syringe or trocar and canula. The serum which separates 

 should be sent to a laboratory for complement fixation or agglutination test. 

 All animals reacting to this test should be removed and killed and stable 

 cleaned and disinfected. 



The remaining animals should be retested by complement fixation test 

 every 3 weeks until no more react and stable redisinfected after each test, 

 including harness, stable utensils, fittings, mangers, walls and floors.

 mercuric iodide. Internally, to avert abscess, calcium sulphide, sodium sul- 

 phite or yeast. See Boils. 



Glaucoma. 



In the inflammatory form, give a smart purge and low diet. Drop eserine 

 sulphate solution (gr.ii to Si) in the eye thrice daily. After acute attack 

 subsides, mild eserine solution (gr.% to gi). Iridectomy, in most cases. 



In chronic form, weaker eserine solution (as above) and potassium iodide 

 internally.
