DISEASED LUNGS — OLD DISCHARGE STOPPED. 
Communicated by Mr. W. A. Cartwright, Whitchurch. 
On the 20th April 1837, I went to D. Poole, Esq., of Mar- 
bury Hall, to remove some warts from a cart mare’s fetlock, &c. 
This mare has been troubled with greasy heels for some years, 
but especially, latterly, in the near fore one, and grapes have 
sprung up in the hollow on the back of the pastern. 
I removed a considerable wart sometime last year : but there is 
now a much larger one occupying the whole of the hollow on the 
back of the pastern, and also smaller ones round about the fet- 
lock —the discharge is offensive, but not so great as it has been. 
I cast her, and cut the wart off, and also the smaller ones, and 
applied the cautery and a dressing of ointment of sulphate of 
copper to all of them ; and gave a dose of physic, consisting of 
eight drachms of Cape aloes, and which operated on the follow- 
ing day very nicely : I also ordered the surface to be dressed 
with the same ointment on the following day. 
24 th. — Going on very well ; but as some of the warts had again 
sprung up a little, I applied the cautery once more, and touched 
some parts with the lapis infernalis, ordering the former ointment 
to be occasionally applied, the parts to be kept clean, and the 
mare to have mashes. 
May 1«?L — Still going on very well. I simply dressed where 
the large wart had been cut off with the same ointment, and all 
the others seemed disposed to heal. I gave another ball of the 
same strength as the former one, but which did not operate in 
the least. 
5 th. — She was this day sent over to me to be dressed. The 
leg was going on very well, to which I did nothing, but merely

the Veterinary Medical Association,” some other cases appear communi- 
cated by Mr. Daws, from the practice of Mr. Mavor, of the excellent 
effect of belladonna in tetanus. Mr. Mavor administered it, like Mr. Rich- 
ardson, in conjunction with purgatives, but he selected aloes and calomel. 
Mr. Mavor commenced by bleeding — Mr. Richardson blisters extensively, 
and has recourse to the sheep skin. The comparative effect of opium and

favour us with their experience on this important point ? — Y.
