634 ON THE TREATMENT OF FARCY AND GLANDERS 
4 th . — No faeces having passed, 1 gave another oleaginous 
draught, and threw up a clyster. At 3 p.m., the bowels not 
having responded, 1 administered another draught and injection, 
which had the desired effect: all unpleasant symptoms subsided, 
and the horse returned to his work in a few days. Not the least 
particle of the sponge could be detected in his faeces. 
ON THE TREATMENT OF FARCY AND GLANDERS 
WITH IODINE AND THE SULPHATE OF COPPER— 
A CASE OF GLANDERS AT THE TERMINATION OF 
THE SPERMATIC CORD, AND THE REMOVAL OF 
AN ENORMOUS TUMOUR FROM THE SCROTUM. 
By Mr. W. C. Lop.d, F.R.P.S. and P.-S., Parson’s Town, 
Kuig’s County. 
Dear Sir, — I regret that I have allowed so long a time to 
elapse since I last contributed my mite to The Veterinarian. 
I f the following cases are worth insertion, they are at your disposal. 
In the March Number of The V etekin arian for 1842, the 
reader will find an account of the very great success that has 
attended Mr. Lord, of Doncaster, in the treatment of farcy by 
the diniodide of copper. 1 have also employed the iodine with 
considerable success in combination with the sulphate of copper. 
The very circumstance of our not materially differing will render 
the few cases I am about to relate more interesting, as they tend 
to prove that farcy, which has hitherto been thought rather a 
troublesome disease to overcome, may now be subdued by iodine 
and copper, either chemically or mechanically united. To many 
it may be of service to know, that the mechanical combination of 
it with the sulphate of copper will be as efficacious as the other, 
as they may not be able to procure the diniodide of copper at 
the time that a case presents itself: so it was with me when I 
got the case which 1 am about to describe. 
When I first resolved to use the diniodide of copper I sent to 
one of the largest druggist’s establishments in Dublin for it ; but 
they told me that they had no such thing, yet if 1 would wait 
they would make it for me. 
CASE I. 
This case was a bad one, presenting large buds running from 
the head downward, along the neck and abdomen, in a straight 
line, and most numerous on the inside of the thighs. The side
