■9. A io-year-old cart horse with a punctured and lacerated 
wound, 8 cm. deep, in the posterior third and lower portion of 
the abdomen. The swelling extended to the sternum. The 
wound was irrigated with creolin and tampons of cotton applied 
to stop the hemorrhage. 150 grains of glutol were kneaded 
into a mass with a few drops of creolin solution and pressed into 
the wound. The swelling subsided in five days, in ten days 
the animal resumed its work. 10. T. tried glutol in the form 
of vaginal balls (glutol, 1 part ; cocoa butter, 20 parts ; castor 
oil, q. s.) on five cows in a stable in which all calves had suc¬ 
cumbed through diarrhoea. Five weeks before calving each 
cow received a vaginal ball twice a week ; they were well 
retained. The genitals were washed weekly with a 3 per cent, 
solution. Four of the calves born showed no symptoms of the 
disease ; one had a slight attack of diarrhoea on the third day, 
but recovered rapidly. The calves of the other cows not 
treated, died of the disease. 11. An 8-year-old mare with a nar¬ 
row fistula 25 cm. deep in the left shoulder. Dilatation of the 
canal enabled S. to remove a piece of wood 3 cm. long and ^ 
cm. thick. The. wound was irrigated with 1-1000 sublimate 
solution and tamponed with loretin gauze. Repair was slow. 
The tract was curetted, well washed and packed with glutol. 
This was renewed every second day. In eight days the depth of 
the fistula was 8 cm. from the surface, and soon closed up en¬ 
tirely. 12. A 5-year-old black mare, with a punctured nail 
wound in the direction of the coffin joint, an aggravating case. 
Treatment .—Enlargement of the opening, removal of sole and 
plantar cushion, irrigation, the insertion of a sublimate stick, 
and covering with an aseptic bandage. There was continued 
fever and suppuration. The wound was again enlarged, filled 
with glutol, and a permanent bandage applied. The dressing 
was changed every three or five days; the wound was washed 
with clean water, the sloughing tissue removed and again filled 
with glutol. Three weeks later the patient was shod and could 
be used for light work. 13. A 9-year-old gelding with a punc¬ 
tured wound caused by a splinter of wood in front of the stifle 
joint and from which a synovia-like fluid exuded. The open¬ 
ing was washed with warm water and filled with glutol; the 
whole was hermetically sealed with collodion and cotton. This 
was renewed daily ; complete cicatrization in ten days without 
any signs of suppuration at all. 14. A five-year-old brown 
gelding with a neglected excoriation ; a hot, painful, phlegmon¬ 
ous swelling around the necrotic area, lymphangitis of the
