the same time allow the hand to rest upon the opening to 
keep the bowel in proper position. Make a small incision in 
the scrotum just large enough to admit the passage of the 
testicle through it Slip the clamp on over the cord and at 
the same time draw up the white covering or tunics cut 
through in letting the testicle out. Fasten this securely in 
the clamp together with the cord. This prevents the bowel 
from again coming down. It swells in a couple of days 
sufficient to fill the opening through which it protruded, and 
the rupture entirely disappears. Remove the clamp in four 
or five days and there is no danger of its re-occurrence. 
Rupture of this kind in a stallion cannot be successfully 
treated other than in this manner.
