METRO-PERITONITIS. 
1007 
Metro-peritonitis being a grave disorder and liable to be 
produced by any wound or abrasion in these parts, the genital 
canal should be thoroughly cleansed by injection of warm water, 
and any wounds dressed with antiseptic remedies. After the 
uterus has been cleansed an injection of carbolic acid solution 
should be made every day, and the wounds, if accessible, must 
be dressed at the same time. Constitutional treatment must be 
directed towards neutralizing the effects of the septic matter by 
the exhibition of antiseptic remedies and reducing the temper¬ 
ature. I would recommend sulphite of soda and potassa or 
sulphurous acid. If there is a tendency to constipation a purga¬ 
tive should be given. I have had good results from this treat¬ 
ment when there was any possibility of recovery. 
Erratum. —Dr. T. J. Menestrino, St. Louis, Mo., writes to 
say that in his article entitled “ Acute Rheumatism in the 
Horse,” which appeared in the February Review, the dose of 
iodide of potassium was given as “two ounces ,” when it should 
have read u two drachms three times a dav.”

Put on Guard. — u Yes,” said the fairy prince, “ you may 
have whatever you want for a present.” “ 1 will choose,” said 
the fortunate person, u either a wife or an automobile.” “ How 
foolish ! ” exclaimed the fairy prince. “ Why do you not select 
something that you can manage?”— Judge. 
There is a band of nearly 1000 wild horses roaming the 
hills and ranges of Southern Oregon, which have been increas¬ 
ing in number for nearly twenty years. They originated in 
horses that strayed from the ranges, and some that were turned 
loose by parties when the great scare came on about the trolley 
cars and bicycles taking the place of horses. In this way some 
good blood got into this stock, and now efforts are being made 
to capture them. 
Fires Damage Veterinarians. —The recent series of ex¬ 
tensive conflagrations iri the East have included as their vic¬ 
tims two well-known members of the veterinary profession. 
The fire which almost swept away the heart of Waterbury, 
Conn , took all the instruments and other paraphernalia of Dr. 
Robert C. Jones, while the $10,000,000 blaze in Paterson, N. J., 
left only the walls standing of Dr. Wm. Herbert Lowe’s com¬ 
modious and well equipped infirmary on Ellison Street.
