LYMPHANGITIS. 
Treatment, — In all but one case the following treatment was 
employed with success. The food was reduced in quantity, plenty of 
good gruel was allowed, a strong dose of physic, aloes and calomel, 
was administered, which reduced the pain and swelling. Frequent 
hot fomentations were applied to the limb and afterwards massage 
by the attendants. For some days the animals were given small 
doses of epsom salts with nitre twice a day. When the acute 
symptoms had passed off regular and gentle exercise was allowed. 
In one case the limb remained swollen for some time. This 
animal received regularly doses of arsenic and iodide of potash, and 
liniment was rubbed in on alternate days. The bowels were kept 
freely open and in due course he made a good recovery. In the 
case of the Zoo elephant, during the course of one attack, he 
developed an abscess on the inside of the limb. This healed in the 
ordinary way. 
In all cases, if the elephant will permit it, careful search should 
be made for wounds of any sort, and to these if found careful 
treatment should be applied.
