of the muzzle wa.s not so large. The animal voided his urine 
easily; the urine was slightly coloured ; no solid excrement was 
voided. Emollient gargles were given, and the same clysters 
continued : pledgets of tow, soaked in chloride of oxide of soda, 
almost pure, were introduced into the wounds. 
During the day the end of the muzzle diminished very consi¬ 
derably, so that in the evening the animal was able to take a 
little water whitened with barley meal. 
The 12th.—The swelling at the end of the muzzle was quite 
dispersed ; the animal was lively, and tried to eat; the pulse was 
small, and rather quick ; portions of the mucous membrane of the 
mouth came off. The enlargement of the testicles had disap¬ 
peared, and that of the breast was diminished. Liquid excre¬ 
ments, of a very bad smell, and in small quantities, were voided. 
The wound in the trachea was of a greenish colour. The tube 
was taken out. Pledgets of tow, soaked in chloride of oxide 
of soda, almost pure, were placed in the wound. The same 
treatment continued. 
The 14th.—Much amelioration of all the symptoms; the swell¬ 
ings every where had disappeared. The sloughs of the cauterized 
parts detached themselves, and, underneath, a healthy suppura¬ 
tion had taken place; the wound on the trachea also looked bet¬ 
ter. Liquid execrements, tinged with blood, were voided. The 
former treatment continued. 
The 15th.—Same symptoms ; the excrements were rather 
firmer, but still tinged with blood. The wound in the trachea 
was much healthier. Gave four ounces of castor oil in a muci¬ 
laginous decoction. 
The 16th.—The animal had some slight attacks of cholic,which 
yielded however to frictions of the belly, exercise, and emollient 
clysters. The wounds are healing. 
The 17th.—The horse continues to get better; the excrements 
are no longer tinged with blood. Gave eight ounces of castor oil. 
The 18th.—The horse still improving ; the wounds are nearly 
healed. The food is increased in quantity and quality, and a 
little hay was given. At the end of a month the horse was quite 
well.—E.
