ENLARGED SURM AXILLARY GLANDS. 
23d. - Tonics were now administered morning and night for the 
space of a fortnight. Improvement of condition progressed rapidly, 
and great appetite was evinced for every sort of food. 
On the 6th of January, 1842, medicine was altogether discon- 
tinued ; the horse took gentle exercise, and lay down regularly. 
Every day seemed to lend improvement. 
Feb. 3th . — Being now perfectly restored to good health and 
condition, he took regular exercise with the other horses. 
Remarks . — In this, as well as in other cases, I have found 
that the judicious use of hydrarg. submur., combined with a diu-

dition very good. After working a day or two, the swelling re- 
turned, more diffused and soft, not attached to the bone, and, at 
the same time, a smaller swelling on the opposite side. There is 
a dropping of watery discharge from both nostrils, but, except 
when at work, nothing thick or like matter. 
I write to know if you would recommend cutting out the en-
