adjourned, the patient being left at the infirmary of Dr. K. J. 
McKenzie, whose later reports on the case are very interesting: 
“ July 18, 1901.—The patient with bursal enlargements is 
pretty weak at present. I was away all day the day following 
the meeting. On my return found my man trying in every way 
to stop haemorrhage from the leg that you operated on. He bled 
considerably. That was last Friday night, and last night (the 
17th) I came in from the country and found the stall flooded 
with blood from the other leg, where he had been fired. I 
hustled a hypodermic and salt solution, and he braced up con¬ 
siderable. The wounds are in excellent condition and there has 
been very little swelling. I think he would have gotten along 
finely had he not had to lose so much blood.” 
“July 31, 1901.—Our patient with bursal enlargement is 
doing better, and I have hopes of his recovery. I used the sa¬ 
line solution subcutaneously after the haemorrhage, and got 
some beautiful sloughing about the neck.” 
“August 21, 1901.—Yours asking about the patient with 
bursal enlargement came to hand, and will say he is going to 
make a live of it, all right. The parts in which the sloughing 
took place are granulating nicely. I evidently used the solu¬ 
tion too strong, without proper antiseptic precaution, merely 
ordinary cleanliness. I have been using a bichloride, 1 to 1000, 
and it is doing nicely. I feel that the sodium chloride saved 
his life, though it did raise Cain with his common integument. 
They say he is not as lame on either leg as he was.” 
No. 8 is so nearly a duplicate of No. 6, that it needs very 
little consideration, besides being only about one-half the size 
of No. 6. The history points to about one year’s standing. I 
was called to operate August 16th, 1901, at which time I was 
assisted by Dr. Reynolds both in operating on and photograph¬ 
ing the leg. The subject was placed in slings on account of 
lameness induced by bursatti sore, at the inner portion of the 
coronary band of same foot. After thoroughly opening the 
parts, and injecting tincture of iodine, the seton was passed 
through the leg, and leg dressed as in previous cases.
