ANNUAL REPORT OF THE 
In that degeneracy of the tissue of the frog of the horse, called 
crapaud, we have tried the mode of local treatment so highly 
spoken of by some veterinarians, and which consists in cauter¬ 
izing the part by means of inflamed gunpowder. This method, 
like a great many others, has not yet been attended with much 
success; but we will continue it until the observation of a great 
number of cases will permit us to draw some well-founded con¬ 
clusion. In the meantime, we would warn practitioners that 
gunpowder alone will produce only a simple black film, or stain, 
on the tissues, without any proper eschar; and that it will be 
necessary to mix together one part of sulphur with two of nitre, 
in order to obtain a scab of sufficient thickness. 
Grease. —M. Schoale, veterinary surgeon at Fontaine on the 
Rhone, having requested us to use the caustic powder of Dr. 
Dubois, and which he had applied with much success, in order to 
arrest the discharge of grease, and to destroy the cutaneous 
morbid growths known by the name of Grapes, we have done so 
on two horses, and have completely succeeded. We will try it 
again as occasion may present itself, and we will record the 
result. 
Glanders not hereditary .—A colt three years old, from a mare 
that had both farcy and glanders, and by a horse that was blind, 
continues in good health, although it has always been among 
glandered horses. The eyes also continue to be free from disease. 
M. Grognier terminated his discourse with some advice to the 
pupils, warning them of the rocks which they should carefully 
avoid when they left the school, and laying down some excellent 
rules by which their future conduct and practice should be guided.

The number of horses that came under treatment during the 
last year was 379; and of other domesticated animals, 1373; 
total 1752 : being a decrease of 47 horse-cases, and an increase 
of 213 among the other ordinary patients of the veterinary sur¬ 
geon. Among the^'er^e naturaCy whose diseases have often afforded 
instructive lessons to the pupils, 222 are recorded; being 78 more 
than in the last year, and affording a gross number of 1974 cases. 
Notwithstanding this, the year has been an unusually healthy 
one, at least so far as serious complaints and the loss of patients 
are concerned. 
In 1833, 49 cases of Influenza occurred; in 1834, only 17. 
In 1833, there were 8 deaths from this complaint; in 1834, only
