CASE OF IDIOPATHIC FARCY IN A HORSE. 
a mass of raw ulcers, but beginning to granulate and cicatrise. On 
the off side of the cheek they are not so numerous as on the near 
one; but still they are numerous, and are going on well. 
He will not take the copper in his water, which, consequently, 
was made into balls, and given regularly. His appetite is better, 
and the medicine has not apparently disagreed with him. His off 
hind leg is a good deal swelled about the hock ; but I do not think 
the leg, generally, is any worse; indeed, I think the few farcy 
buds are not so large on it. 
That on the rump is about the same. I do not see any fresh 
ones on any part of the body, except one the size of half a walnut 
on the off side, about a foot from the elbow, situate near the spur 
vein. Give cupri sulph. 3 ij, potas. iodide 3 j, sem. carui 3 ij, lyttae 
gr. vi, zingib. 3 j, once and twice every other day. To be well 
exercised for an hour twice a day, and to be fed pretty well. No 
discharge has yet appeared from the nostrils. 
29th .—The wounds on the off side are growing up, and those on 
the near look more healthy. Several fresh ones on the front of the 
face, half way up between the eyes, are suppurating. The face 
and nose are hotter than I ever have felt them, and the wounds 
are covered with more than usual dry hard scabs. No fresh buds 
have appeared, and those on the abdomen and hip are less. As I 
thought he was a little feverish from the medicine, I ordered it to 
be discontinued for a day or two. Cleaned and touched the ulcers 
with argent, nit. 
March 4 th .—Going on well. Touch the ulcers with the caustic. 
8th .—Ulcers on the off side of the cheek are nearly healed up, 
and on the other are lessening. Send four balls, each containing 
cup. sulph. 3 iij, sem. carui 3‘ij, lyttae gr. x, zingib. 3 j. 
13 th .—Still improving; but on the near cheek there is an en¬ 
larged absorbent running towards the ear. Dress the wounds, and 
smear some flour on their surfaces. Send six balls each containing 
cupri sulph. 5 ij, potass, iodid. 3 j, zingib. 3 j, sem. carui 3 ij, and an 
ointment composed of hyd. biniodid. 3 ss, adipis suillae §ij, to rub 
on the cheek where the absorbent is enlarged. 
21s/.—Better. The absorbent on the cheek is less, and ulcers 
are getting healthy, and healing up fast. The gland under the 
jaw's on the near side is a little less, but still large. Give a ball 
occasionally. To have half a day’s work at a time, and to be well 
kept. The leg does not swell now, and the buds on the different 
parts of the body are nearly gone. 
Shortly after this he got perfectly well, and has remained so to 
the present time, without the slightest relapse.
