THE USE OF CREOSTOTE 
owe to Dr. Elliotson and to you to acquaint you with its results. I 
beg you to tell that gentleman that I regard his discovery of the 
power of creostote in cases like this, and the kindness with which 
he immediately attended to my anxious request, — I beg you to tell 
him, that I regard these things with a deep feeling of gratitude. 
To you, also, I offer my thanks, for having published in your 
valuable Journal the two cases, to the knowledge of which my son 
owes his life. I trust that this will be a stimulus to our profession 
to give a fair trial to the creostote in all cases of farcy and glan- 
ders, or diseases that appear to have the slightest connexion with 
them, that may come under their notice.

[I beg leave to refer the readers of “ The Veterinarian” to 
p. 471 of the volume for 1S38, in which they will find some inte- 
resting accounts of the successful use of the creostote in canker in 
the ear in dogs, in thrush in the feet of horses, and in gangrenous 
wounds generally ; also in quittor in the horse and the foot-rot in 
sheep in Germany; likewise in ulcerated wounds, chronic diarrhoea, 
and haemorrhage generally*. 
In France, the creostote has been successfully used in inveterate 
mange, in thrush, in obstinate fistulae, and in caries of the bones, in 
horses. I will give, at length, a case of the successful use of it in 
internal haemorrhage. — Y.] 
CASE OF HEMORRHAGE FROM THE URINARY PASSAGES CURED BY 
THE EMPLOYMENT OF CREOSTOTE AND THE SUB-CARBONATE 
OF THE PEROXIDE OF IRON. 
By M. Levrat. M. V. 
A HALF-BRED English gelding, eighteen years old, belonged to 
the Comte Sadjet, of Lausanne. He had been very hardly worked, 
both as a saddle and a draught horse. During the last five or six 
days he had voided several clots every time he had passed his urine. 
He ate and drank as usual, but he was evidently becoming weak. 
The owner, thinking it to be inflammation of the kidneys, desired 
me to see the animal, and to take with me some nitre, which he 
wished to be given to him, because, as he said, “ the horse was too 
much heated.” 
Feb. 20, 1835, I examined the horse, which did not appear to
