both presented affectious of the inguinal genital organs, due 
to the presence of this fungus. 
In the first case it was a mare which had an enlarged udder 
of long standing, at first considered as one of scirrhus cancel. 
The growth was very hard, with abscesses forming and dis¬ 
charging, but yet with that exception without cutaneous ul- . 
ceratlon. The treatments of tonics and iodine externally, and 
occasionally iodized phenol failed to give relief, and the dis¬ 
ease spread, involving both udders. Injections of iodine into 
the substance of the growth were then administered, using 
one or two drachms of tincture of iodine, with a half-per-cent, 
solution of carbolic acid. Three injections of ten drachms 
were employed every third day. The quantity was gradually 
increased and a longer time allowed between each injection. 
In a month’s time all suppuration had ceased, and the oedema 
o-one. The mare made a good lecoveiy. 
The second case was that of a colt which had contracted 
the infection about a year before, developing into a scirrhus 
cord. On account of peculiar reasons, the operation was 
postponed for a while, and the two cords removed afterwaids. 
But in a few months the horse was as bad as ever. Two or 
three sinuses had opened on the right flank, and were dis¬ 
charging freely. Though a second excision was made the 
growth kept on increasing, and ultimately the colt had to be 
destroyed. 
In the examination of the structure of the two growths, 
and especially of the discharge, made by Prof. McFadyean 
and Prof. Arxe, their correct microscopic nature was 
determined.— Ibid.
