the animal began to work a little; and early in September she 
was no longer lame. 
CASE II. 
A black horse, about nine years old, sixteen hands high, of 
a lymphatic temperament, had had, for some months, a white 
tumour on the right fore leg, which made him go lame after 
taking any exercise. On the 4th of.August, 1822, the right leg 
was twice as large as the left; the tissues were very hard ; the 
action of the limb very limited : there was some heat, and very 
acute pain. On the slightest pressure of the part the animal 
attempted to bite. 
I ordered complete rest, emollient poultices on the part; took 
away three pounds of blood, and lowered his diet. 
On the 9th, I abstracted two pounds of blood. 
On the 10th, the swelling was not so great; the pain was 
abated. 
These symptoms were continued to the 18th or 19th, when I 
bled from the coronet, and continued the poultices. 
On the 23d, there was great amelioration of symptoms. 
On the 26th, I continued the same treatment. 
On the 27th, bathed the part with emollients, and that until 
the 2d of September; the leg was then very slightly enlarged. 
On the 3d, the part was much softened; and I continued the 
bathings and poultices until the 15th. 
On the 18th, I commenced exercising him a little every day. 
On the 25th, I used hydriodate of potash as a friction, and 
syringed the part with cold water; and in the first fortnight in 
October the horse ceased to go lame, and returned to his usual 
work.

Inflammatory Swellings on various Parts 
(Affection Charbonneuse). 
On the 5th of July, 1829, the hind limbs of a fine horse, about 
nine years old, suddenly became very much swelled, without any 
visible cause. He was restricted in his diet, and several clys¬ 
ters were given him. 
On the 6th, the swelling of the bind leg was increased, and 
extended to the testicles and the sheath. On the morning of 
the 7th, the farrier bled the horse, and inserted two rowels in his 
brisket. They caused great swelling, which extended all under 
the breast. The rowels were then removed ; and it was at this 
time that I sav/ the horse.
