ON THE RE-ABSORPTION OF PUS. 
worse, accordingly as he was placed where he could or could 
not rub himself. During the whole of this time the pus had a 
serous character, the animal coughed, and the cough, dry at first, 
became moist, and was accompanied hy expectoration. It was 
also remarked, that the coat stared, and that the appetite was 
impaired. Over the left side of the withers, and below the supe¬ 
rior orifice of a fistula which existed on that side, commenced a 
farcy cord, which extended to the scapulo-humeral angle. Apply 
to this cord a mixture of one part of corrosive sublimate with 
eight of turpentine. 
\^th .—The cord has extended itself two inches lower down. 
Apply the same mixture to the continuation of the cord. 
18^A.—The cord has disappeared. 
25M.—The horse, abandoned by its owner, was bled to death. 
^xammation. —Among other lesions, ice found in the sub¬ 
stance of the right lung many little masses of a greyish white mat^ 
ter, crushing easily under the finger, not encysted, but surrounded 
by cellular tissue, congested, yet crepitating. 
CASE IV. 
An entire draught horse. 
This horse was sent to the infirmary on account of a throm¬ 
bus in the left jugular. It is accompanied by suppuration. 
A considerable swelling exists at the parotid region, and a fistula, 
having its orifice at the wound made in bleedings, extends, fol¬ 
lowing the vien, as high as this swelling. After twenty-three days’ 
treatment, the swelling having completely disappeared and the 
suppuration being less abundant and quite laudable, the horse 
ws restored to the owner, who was instructed how to apply 
the future dressing; but the swelling returning, and sanious 
matter escaping from the old fistula, he was sent to Alfort: 
thence he was taken away before the wounds were quite healed, 
and contrary to the wishes of the Professor, and was finally 
brought back on the 11th July, the old fistula discharging grey 
and thin pus. The glands under the jaw soon began to enlarge 
—farcy buttons appeared on various parts—farcy cords ran 
over the left side—the membrane of the nose became affected — 
there was considerable discharge from the nose, and in that 
state he was again taken away by the owmer*. 
CASE V. 
An entire horse, fourteen years old, also had tumour on the 
withers; which, however, had considerably subsided under emol-
