EXTRACTS FROM EXCHANGES. 
and the experiment has proved a most encouraging success, 
a success which, when added to that of Mr. Forgham, de¬ 
tailed in The Record of February ioth, cannot fail to be grati¬ 
fying to Mr. Dollar. 
In the cases recorded below, the intratracheal injection of 
iodine acted almost as a specific, indeed to such an extent 
that after the initial attempt—granting the surroundings to 
be as they should—one got to feel absolutely confident that 
the second dose would produce a beneficial effect, be the 
swellings and petechia of whatever intensity. 
Case I.—A grey cob gelding, five years old, admitted July 
23d, 1894. Head, limbs and abdomen all greatly swollen; 
petechia on Schneiderian large and very dark, discharge of 
blood-stained serum from both nostrils; temperature 104.5 0 F-> 
appetite nil. Gave an experimental draught composed of ol. 
tereb, tr. ferri perchlor., and ol. lini. 
July 24th, 8 A. M.— Swellings more marked, especially 
about head, face and mouth, the greatly enlarged nostrils 
causing a very loud snore. Temp. 103.6. 0 Injected 6 drachms 
iodine solution into the trachea. (The whole of the injections 
above referred to are intra-tracheal.) 
8 P. M.— Swellings generally move extensive, horse can 
scarcely be got to move, temp. 104. 0 Injected 18 drachms 
iodine solution. 
July 25.—Swellings somewhat smaller and considerably 
less tense, breathing better, temp. 103.4, 0 drank milk and eggs 
freely. Injected 14 drachms iodine solution. 
July 26.—Swellings greatly reduced, horse generally bet¬ 
ter, although during the day the temperature reached 104. 
Gave quiniae sulph. one drachm and ferri sulph. two drachms 
in a ball, morning and evening. 
July 27th.—Swelling returning. Injected iodine solution 
12 drachms, and gave ball as above. 
July 28th.—Considerably better. Gave balls containing 
iodine, iron and quinine, morning and evening. 
July 29th.—CEdema again returning. Injected iodine solu¬ 
tion, 8 drachms morning and evening. 
July 30th.—Horse considerably better. Injected iodine
