CASE OF IDIOPATHIC FARCY IN A HORSE. 569 
amiss with him, only off his feed, or, as the owner said, “ he had 
no stomach.” 
Symptoms .—Appetite bad; looks hollow; pulse a good deal 
quicker than natural; costive, and the fseces are slimy; mouth 
hottish; respiration natural. I fancy he is only out of sorts from 
derangement of the stomach and intestines. 
Treatment .—About three quarts of blood had been taken from 
him two or three days ago. Give alteratives of aloes, resina, et 
ant. pot. tart. 
15//i.—From last date to the present I only saw him once, as it 
was thought unnecessary to see him oftener, during which time he 
had been taking the medicine, and had had mashes, turnips, exer¬ 
cise, &c. 
To-day the owner’s son called to say that for the last day or two 
the horse’s nose had commenced swelling; and that there were 
several pocks upon it, some of them suppurating; and that he 
would scarcely allow it to be touched. In the afternoon I saw him, 
and I was much surprised to find that what he called “ pocks” were 
nothing more than farcy buds. His nose was swelled a good deal, 
and on it there were numerous small farcy buds, some in a state of 
ulceration, and others not. On the sides of the cheeks there were 
a great many other farcy tumours in different stages of disease. 
I also found that the off hind leg was swelled from the foot to 
the body; and on the inside of the thigh I could feel a few small 
farcy tumours. There was also a larger one on the rump. The 
lymphatic glands under the jaws were enlarged. 
Treatment .—Touch the ulcered buds with the actual cautery. 
1 6th .—Give 5 ij doses of cupri sulph. 
17 th —More of the farcy buds on the nose and cheeks have 
suppurated. Clean and dress them every day with a saturated 
solution of cupri sulph. Give cupri sulph. 3 ij, potassse iodid. 3 ij, 
lyttse gr. v, every day in a ball. 
215*.—The ulcers covering the end of the nose look more healthy 
and are granulating. There is a great patch of ulcers on the near 
cheek, and also a great many ulcers on the off one. I think the 
upper lot of buds on each cheek are not running on so fast to sup¬ 
puration, but are rather declining. The submaxillary lymphatic 
glands, especially the near one, is rather large. This day I sent 
eight powders with ^ij each of cupri sulph., to be given in his water 
twice a-day, and also six balls, each containing potas. iodid. 3 ij, 
lyttse gr. v, sem. carui 3 ij, zingib. 3 SS. One to be given every 
day. 
2 6th .—The buds that first appeared are looking healthy, and 
are filling up. Those at the upper part of the cheeks are still de¬ 
clining, and no others are appearing higher up. The near cheek is
