A SUCCESSFUL CASE OF LARYNGITIS. 337 
and it was almost impossible to enter the stable on account of the 
stench from his nostril. 
1 had him immediately removed into a loose box, well ventilated, 
and ordered the floor to be sprinkled with a solution of chloride of 
lime three or four times a-day; the nostrils to be kept sponged 
with vinegar and water; and his diet to consist of bruised oats, 
bran, and cut raw potatoes. He was all through in splendid con¬ 
dition ; but, becoming alarmed at the character of the discharge, 
and his general surface appearance (a staring of the hair about his 
head and quarters), I was determined to go seriously to work; and 
accordingly I inserted a seton between the two maxillary bones, 
using Mr. Simonds’s medicated tape, of which I have a high opi¬ 
nion, and I also put to the test the merits of the diniodide of cop¬ 
per, as recommended by that highly talented gentleman, Mr. Mor¬ 
ton, of the Veterinary College. I commenced by giving twice a-day 
the following ball:— 
Diniodid. Cupri. 3j 
Gentianae. jiij 
Cantharid. gr. v 
Theriacse. q. s. 
The stable was ordered to be fumigated once a-day with chlorine 
gas, which was liberated by hydrochloric acid and black oxide of 
manganese, agreeably to Mr. Morton’s instructions; and this was re¬ 
peated daily for three weeks, in conjunction with the diniodide. He 
was ordered full feeding, viz., four feeds per diem, each feed consist¬ 
ing of four pounds of bruised oats, with cut wheaten straw, and sliced 
carrots or raw potatoes, in each feed, and damped with cold water. 
He was kept warmly clothed, and four hours’ gentle excercise (two 
in the morning and two in the afternoon) were ordered every day. 
In ten days after the above treatment a most pleasing change 
took place by the discharge assuming a healthy character and be¬ 
ing perfectly free from offensiveness. The enlarged gland disap¬ 
peared, and a fine silky appearance of the coat presented itsell’, 
while the horse was in as high spirits as could be wtehed. In three 
weeks he was perfectly recovered, and has since been repeatedly 
hunted, to the great satisfaction of the owner, who personally re¬ 
turned me thanks for his favourite’s recovery.
