SOCIETY MEETINGS. 
Dr. Morse: Any solution may be used. I employ the 
common tincture of the shops and inject a drachm or more. 
Dr. Stewart: I have injected tincture of iodine into the 
cavity of bog spavin after evacuating the accumulated fluid, 
and a satisfactory result has been the issue in four or five 
months. I think we are too timid in this class of cases. I do 
not know of a fatal result following this method of treatment. 
Dr. Edwards: The firing method has been successful in 
my hands. I puncture the enlargement at several points with 
the red-hot cautery point, the serum escapes, and the inflam¬ 
mation which follows results in a cure. 
Dr. Miller: What do you do with bursal enlargements at 
the fetlocks? Will injections of iodine cure them ? 
Dr. Morse: I open them freely with a scalpel and let them 
heal by granulation. I find it a very safe and satisfactory 
way to treat them. I mean what is known as windgalls or 
bursal enlargements. 
The Secretary exhibited a book of notes, which attracted 
general attention on account of the form of note sheets used 
and the binder used to secure their preservation. The note- 
sheets are issued by the printer in tablets of ioo, and when 
used are immediately put into an adjustable binder and in¬ 
dexed both for disease and owner of patient. He claimed for 
his notes convenience, completeness, durability and ready 
reference, and said the keeping of such notes made the practi¬ 
tioner more careful to secure the minute details of symptoms 
and history of his cases, more careful in diagnosis and more 
definite in the use of therapeutic agents.
