SOCIETY MEETINGS. 
swallow. I gave aconite, fomented the swellings; after a 
lew days she appeared all right. The symptoms of purpura 
were prevalent. I gave ergot, chlorate of potash and tinct. 
iron. The head was swollen, but after a few days the symp¬ 
toms all disappeared and.she seemed all right. On following 
Sunday I was called and found her in pains similar to colic; 
gave a hypodermic iujection of morphia, which quieted her, 
but she died that night. I held a post-mortem the next after¬ 
noon ; did not find any injuries internally, but on taking off 
the front leg I found an abscess on the inside of the scapulus, 
about the size of a two-quart pail. I had three cases, all pre¬ 
senting different symptoms. There were abscesses in two of

ing past two months. Have the best results from treating 
with nux vomica. 
Dr. Morris. I have good success by evacuating the bowels

Dr. Robinson. I had two cases which I treated success¬

Dr. Hinkley. Would you advise using it to produce a 
laxative effect in purpura ? 
Dr. Willyoung. No sir. 
Dr. Morris. 1 like iodide potash best. 
Dr. Hinkley. I have treated twenty-five to thirty cases 
without loss of any ; used po. nux vomica, quinine and tinct. 
iron, and used turpentine for the kidneys if needed. I use 
ice instead of fomentations. 
Dr. Baker. I use iron and quinine successfully. 
Dr. Morris. I think Dr. Hunter treated scientifically ; I 
have used ice water with good results. 
Dr. Hunter. How do you use ice? 
Dr. Hinkley. Use a packing of ice and brand or salt and 
bind on. I think Dr. Hunter’s cases would have proven 
fatal under any treatment. I know of veterinarians in Cleve-
