298 The Management and Diseases of the Dog. 
be continued, watching my patient carefully throughout 
the night. 
A note of anxiety called me again to Chetwynd Park ° 
on the sth of October, but, beyond enlargement of the 
lymphatics down the neck, and some remaining indura- 
tion of the tumour, with external soreness due to the 
poultices and iodine, I found no immediate cause for alarm. 
Zinc ointment was applied on lint and iodide of potassium 
prescribed. On-the 1oth I received a most anxious letter | 
from the owner, in which he abandoned all hope of saving 
the dog—a relapse having occurred—attributed to a chill 
on going out of doors in damp grass for the first time. I 
telegraphed treatment, and advised his admission to my 
hospital, which was promptly obeyed, and on the 12th his 
owner brought him to Hastings; the wound was still 
suppurating, and considerable lymphatic enlargements 
existed, with throbbing of the vessels. The surface of the 
skin was weeping, andextremely sensitive. Zinc ointment was 
applied for a few days, and subsequently iodine, and under 
careful regime, with exercise on the sea front, the patient 
made a perfect recovery, and left me in good health and 
spirits on the 18th November, to the delight of his master, 
who came for him,—and my own satisfaction. In these 
glandular diseases I am persuaded the sea coast is most 
beneficial,whilst severe cases of rheumatism and eczema have 
left my hospital here in a far shorter space of time than 
when I resided in the Midlands. 
In the early treatment of bronchocele, the arrestment of 
growth and promotion of absorption is very important. 
Unfortunately, however, the case just described had been 
wrongly diagnosed, by the previous attendant, as having 
arisen from a blow: hence the aggravation and complica~ 
tions which had followed, and so nearly proved fatal. 
Few, indeed, would have gone to the trouble, expense, and 
exercised the patience of the humane owner of this dog 
“ Sandy ;” in fact it is worthy of note that for three weeks.
