The infection was caused by scratching the neck and um¬ 
bilicus with the infected hands while we were operating. It 
being a very warm day, they were scantily clothed ; the one 
F. W. had on only overalls and blouse. 
Case 3. On January 30th, 1891, we were called to the 
farm of T. H. B.; found cow with actinomykosis; advised 
operation, which we did in the same manner as in case 1 and 
2, except before operating we washed the parts well with 
bichloride of mercury, 1-1000. The wound healed up in 
three weeks. 
Case 4. On April 1st, 1891, we operated on cow, owned 
by Mr. H., for actinomykosis in the same way as in case 3. 
On removing the diseased tissue the bone was found to be 
rough and slightly honeycombed ; we scraped the bone and 
used same dressing as in previous case ; entirely healed in six 
weeks. 
Case 5. On August 10th we operated on cow, owned by 
Mr. S., for actinomykosis same as in previous cases; dressed 
with bichloride of mercury for first three days, followed by 
creolin, 1-50, with good results ; wound healed in three weeks. 
Case 6. On January n, 1892, we were called to see a 
horse owned by M. B., with following history: In July ’91, 
they noticed a small swelling on lower jaw, which was caused, 
as they supposed, by a blow from the hired man. It gradually 
grew, pushing the incisor teeth in different directions. When 
we were called it was so large the horse could hardly eat; 
tongue hanging out of mouth—he could not draw it back. 
We diagnosed it as actinomykosis and advised him to destroy 
animal, which we did. The specimen we sent to the Ameri¬ 
can Veterinary College. 
In cases 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5, we examined parts microscopically, 
and found the fungi of actinomykosis.
