GEORGE MULLER. 
November was showing np as strong as ever and said to be for a 
half-mile as fast as ever. 
The nature of the wounds led me to use dressing of a perma¬ 
nent nature instead of the open window variety, as heretofore em¬ 
ployed, experience proving that healing under the covered method 
gave the most flattering results, while offering the best possible 
protection. 
Case 2. On July 23d, the grey standard bred mare Gloriana 
—2:26 class—met with a lacerated wound of the right hind flexor 
tendons, severing all support. The fetlock w^ent down, the toe 
inclined upwards. There were several contusions in other parts. 
This one required same attention as given in the above case, and 
w T as dressed as above in every detail, at intervals of about eight 
days apart. On September 12th was exercising well for 
pasture. 
Case 3. September 12.—Bay gelding, property of Dr. Quigley, 
met with a lacerated wound of the left hind flexor tendons. Pre¬ 
sented same symptoms that characterized the above cases—same 
lowering of the fetlocks, same turning up of the toe, etc. Was 
subjected to the same plan of treatment as above described. In 
this case the sheath sloughed about one and one-fourth of an inch. 
The tendon, although bruised, did not undergo sloughing, and on 
October 4th was under walking exercise, gradually getting 
stronger during the month. In the early part of November had 
recovered sufficiently for light work in doctor’s phaeton. 
DISEASES OF THE SKIN AMONG DOMESTICATED ANIMALS. 
By George Muller, Ph.D., Docent in the Royal Veterinary School 
of Munich. 
(Translated by Wm. S. Gottheil, M.D., Instructor in Dermatology at the N. Y. Polyclinic 
Lecturer on Histology at the American Veterinary College.) 
(Continued from 'page 83 .) 
In the domestic cat we find: 
1. Scircoptes-itch .—The eruption begins on the head, but may 
spread over the entire body. At first the malady appears like the 
sarcoptes-itch of the dog, but later on it differs from it in appear¬ 
ance. Thick greyish-brown crusts appear; the skin becomes 
wrinkled, thick, plicated, and finally, quite bard and stiff.
