FARCY IN A COW. 183 
little less ; but the parts are to be fomented, as there is a good 
deal of scurf on them. 
9th. Opened the bud on the point of the shoulder, on the 
near side. The parts below are going on very well, and the 
thickening is going down very fast. 
13^. The part on the off knee is nearly healed up, and 
there is but little thickening there, and no fresh buds are 
appearing. All parts are going on well ; but the tumour on 
the near side, just within the shoulder, still continues very 
large, though I think it is not quite so large. Rub on it 
occasionally a little Ung. Potas. lodid. Co. 
Lee . 12 th. The thickening about the tumour on the inside 
of the off knee has gone down, and the wound healed up a 
good while ago. Since the last week a tumour has formed on 
the point of the shoulder on the off side ; but there has not 
been any enlarged absorbent from the knee or parts below 
that I could detect. This day I opened it, and let out half an 
ounce of very unhealthy pus. I put a tent in it of Ung. Hyd. 
Bichlor. The tumour on the side of the shoulder, on the 
near side, continues stationary ; but I fancy matter will form 
in it. She. continues to horse now and then, but milks and 
looks pretty well, — still not as she ought to do. 
20 th. The tumour on the off shoulder has healed up, leaving 
only a diffused thickening. That on the point of the near 
shoulder has pus in it, and gets larger. 
2 6th. Opened the tumour on the near shoulder, which was 
the size of an egg. There is also one forming just below the 
one opened, and there is a very large one deeper seated under 
these two. 
Jan. 11 th, 1843. The tumour, on the point of the near 
shoulder, last opened, is healed up ; but that below now con- 
tains pus. The one deeper seated is not quite so large, and 
has become diffused, but probably is forming matter. To be 
left alone for awhile. 
17 th. Opened the last mentioned, and dressed it. 
24^. The abscess is well, and the wound grown up. The 
large tumour underneath is less. 
Feb. loth. The tumour that has been all along deep seated 
and underneath the others is gone very much less, and is of 
little importance, and she is got into excellent condition, and 
I think she will not give us any further trouble. 
April 5th. She is nowin good condition ; has calved a good 
while ago. The tumour on the inside of the near shoulder 
is much less; but l believe it will now remain in the same 
indurated state as it is at present. The skin on the parts 
where the abscesses have been is three times as thick as natural.
