818 EPITOME OS MODERN TREATMENT OP 



Scabies. See Mange, 



Scratches. See Erythema. 



Seedy Toe in Horses. 



Sequel to laminitis. 



Remove all diseased horn and apply Peru balsam to the exposed 

 tissues. If there is lameness, use bran and flaxseed poultice mixed 

 with 2 per cent, lysol solution. Otherwise, blister the coronet. Ap- 

 ply a bar-shoe with sole pressure and keep the cavity dressed with 

 the balsam. Frequent changing of the shoe and trimming of the 

 foot is required to restore and keep it in normal shape. 



Septicemia. Pyemia. Sapremia. 



In blood poisoning, with germs or their products, the treatment 

 is chiefly surgical: the use of antiseptic poultices or other anti- 

 septic applications to wounds; the removal of septic and dead tissue 

 by the knife; the drainage of purulent foci, etc. Nourishing diet — 

 reinforced by milk and eggs, beef juice, bovinine, etc. Oil of tur- 

 pentine may be used as a stimulant and antiseptic (H., 3i) in emul- 

 sion with milk and eggs. Calomel is useful as an antiseptic cathar- 

 tic, 218. Saline infusions are often most valuable, 733. Collargol 

 has also given very good results, 180. Antistreptococcic serum is 

 remedial in streptoccus infection, 745. The tine, of ferric 

 chloride is indicated during and succeeding an attack, 195. 



Sexual Excitement. Nymphomania. Satyriasis. 



In female (nymphomania), sexual excitement depends upon var- 

 ious inflammatory diseases, as vaginitis, metritis and other disor- 

 ders of the vagina, womb, ovary. Retained testis is a common cause 

 in males. Over feeding, lack of exercise, and constant companion- 

 ship with females favor sexual excitement in the male. Treatment 

 consists in removing the cause, as surgery in organic lesions yield- 

 ing to the knife. Secure only proper amount of coition and avoid 

 proximity of male to opposite sex. Give hard work, low diet, and 

 full doses of potassium bromide, 343. If trouble due to spinal or 

 cerebral lesions, little can be done. As a last resource, castration 

 of either sex or slaughter.
