 applications has led to their almost total abandonment. In 

 veterinary medicine, the medical methods of intervention 

 are rather numerous. Professor Trasbot recommends 

 compression, refrigeration, and scarification, with the addi-

 treatment of domestic animals. 



Cauterization is a much more practical method. It may 

 be accomplished with chemicals or with the actual cautery, 

 but no matter what agent is employed, there is never any
