got upon his legs, and looked about for food. All tetanic symp¬ 
toms had left him; nothing but debility and great soreness of the 
mouth remaining. From this time he gradually recovered, the 
subsequent treatment being confined to dieting, and a little lotion 
to the mouth. In nine days he returned to his work, and has con¬ 
tinued well up to the present time. 
Case II, was a horse that had been placed under my care for 
broken knees. At the time cicatrization of the wounds was taking 
place, symptoms of tetanus came on. Trismus, with twitchings 
and rigidity of the muscles, were the leading symptoms; nothing 
like, however, of so intense a character as in the previous case. 
I gave aloes, opium, calomel, and chloroform, repeating the latter 
twice, at intervals of an hour. Warm clothing was used; and 
luke-warm poultices to the knees. This completely restored him. 
CASE III.—Traumatic tetanus in a colt, arising from a splinter 
of wood that had run into the fore leg, below the fetlock, just at the 
place we perform neurotomy, the low operation. A farrier had 
been in attendance, but had allowed the skin to heal over the 
splinter of wood. In a fortnight after tetanus came on. The same 
person attended for two days; but the colt getting worse, I was 
called in to see the case. The animal appeared in a dying state. 
I soon discovered the cause of the disease, much to the annoyance 
of the farrier, who was immediately discharged. I extracted the 
wood, and took out about an inch of the nerve, upon which it was 
embedded. I gave similar medicine as in the foregoing cases; 
but death took place in an hour afterwards: that was, however, 
no more than what I fully anticipated, and does not detract in the 
least from the merits of chloroform.

Sir,—Thinking that the history of the following, I believe, 
singular case, may not be entirely devoid of interest, I am induced

Your’s obediently.
