We diagnosed the case as indigestion due to imperfect masti- 
ition; primary cause, sharp teeth. Our prognosis was that the 
limal in a short time would be in a working condition. 
We first attended to the teeth, then gave: 
Aloe Barb. 3 iv. 
Hvdrar. Sub Mur. 3i. 
Ext. Colocynth Comp. 3i. 
Glycirrhiza, Q. S. 
M—Fiat Bolos, No. 1, followed by: 
Gentian Bad. I\ §ij. 
Ferri Sulph. §iss. 
Nucis Yom. §ij. 
M—Sig. Cochlea Magnum Bis Indies.—Give in wet oats. 
Under this treatment the animal improved, appetite became 
)od, mucous membranes regained their color, etc. 
About two weeks later we were again called to see our patient, 
hich the owner had not seen the day before. We found him 
ith temperature 105°, pulse 30, limbs swollen, hot and painful, 
id with a gummy exudate coming from them, which dried and 
uck to the hair. 
This exudate on being rubbed off, carried with it the epiderma 
id some hairs, leaving the limbs sore in spots. The right 
iterior limb was swollen and more painful than the others, 
ling constantly raised and lowered, and nothing could induce 
ic animal to bear any weight upon it; still an examination re¬ 
galed no different trouble in this limb than in the others. We 
'dered warm antiseptic local applications and internally 
idatives. 
In a few days time, pulse and the three limbs least affected 
icame normal, but the other gradually grew worse, until the 
dn and connective cellular tissue from the coronary circle to 
stlock joint, all around the limb, and several other patches be- 
veen carpus and foot, became gangrenous (dry and hard) and 
oughed off, leaving the tendons in plain sight. Fungous granu- 
I tions sprang up which we could not control, and all treatment 
sed by us was of no avail in preventing extension of sloughing
