animal is perpetually unsheathing it. Tie a piece of cloth round, 
to prevent the flies having access to the parts affected; give laxa¬ 
tives, and apply'escharotics. 
236?.—Patient evidently worse ; ulceration more extensive ; 
extremity of the penis prodigiously swollen; a copious discharge 
of purulent foetid matter from the ulcers ; an abundant flow of 
pus from the coronets. There was a brisk breeze from the east 
last night, which, I suppose, aggravated the disease, as it is an 
undoubted fact, that an easterly wind hastens the progress of 
this obstinate malady. He has had a spare diet, with gentle 
walking exercise, and laxatives given frequently. There is no 
embarrassed respiration or oppressed pulse. Appetite extremely 
good ; exercise produces hsemorrhage from the penis. & aloes Si, 
ginger 3ij : mix into a ball, and give it early in the morning; the 
application of the sulphate of copper to the sores to be disconti¬ 
nued, and lime used as a substitute.

The horse cannot retract the end of the penis into the sheath, on 
account of its being so enormously swollen; the swelling is be¬

then fixed a tourniquet beyond the diseased part. My assistant 
grasped the penis firmly, while I dissected away ten ounces of 
schirrous and indurated flesh, laying the prepuce and penis com¬ 
pletely bare. I then applied the actual cautery, to suppress the 
bleeding. When the tourniquet was removed, a profuse haemor¬

30 th. —The prepuce is slightly swollen; pulse a little increased 
in frequency. He has been living on bheesa (bran), and has 
had gentle exercise. The penis is fomented with heem. 
June 7th .—Patient appears to be going on tolerably well: the 
discharge is greatly diminished. Unslaked lime and charcoal are 
applied twice a-day, and a bandage kept on the penis. The 
horse had gentle exercise, a spare diet, and a moderate quantity 
of water. 
Up to the twentieth of this month he was gradually improving; 
but subsequently he got progressively worse, owing to the gross 
negligence of the syec (groom), by discontinuing the medicines, 
and suffering the flies to irritate the sore. This produced a new 
inflammation, swelling and discharge, and a most disgusting ap-
