lotion and healing ointment. They looked healthy, and had lost 
entirely the dry, inflamed appearance they had at first. About the 
fourteenth day she began to lie down, and, to my great satisfaction, 
was able to get up without assistance. The treatment was continued 
for about a month, when she was quite well, and at work shortly 
after, and has continued so up to the present time. My second 
case was a boat horse, the property of Messrs. Henworthy and Co., 
carriers, Manchester. It was also a traumatic one, being due to a 
wound in the flank ; it was not so acute at any time as the first 
case, but it took about the same time to cure. Number three was 
a large waggon horse, the property of Messrs. Charles Faulkner and 
Co., carriers of this city, and was caused by a large sore on the back. 
I see that he was admitted to my infirmary on the 3rd of December, 
1859. He had the same treatment, and was right in abouta month. 
He alarmed me many a time with getting down ; his legs used to be 
stretched out like pillars, and appeared perfectly rigid ; we had to 
get a lot of men to help him to get up on several occasions. He 
has done a deal of work since then, and may be seen in the chains 
of a lurry in Water Street, any morning at nine o’clock. Case num¬ 
ber four was an idiopathic—a large gray horse belonging to Mr. 
Edwards, the proprietor of Wombwell’s Menagerie ; he was admitted 
in the month of April, I860, and had the same treatment; and it 
was about a month before he had quite recovered. My fifth case 
was traumatic, and terminated fatally. It was a beautiful high¬ 
bred brown mare, the property of G. Andrews, Esq., of Compstale 
Bridge ; she had received a prick in the belly in hunting ; the groom, 
not thinking there was very much wrong with her, had her to him¬ 
self for the first few days, and when I was called in she was very 
bad. My treatment seemed to be of no use ; and she died on the 
morning after I had first seen her. My first visit was on the 10th 
of November, 1860, and she died on the 12th. Number six belonged 
to the Manchester City Omnibus Company, and was a gray horse, 
well bred, and five years old. He had run away with his previous 
owner, broken his knees and wounded himself about the hind fetlock- 
joints, and other parts of the body. He entered my place on the 
16th of November, 1860, and left cured on the 10th of December. 
Number seven was a dark bay cob about fourteen hands high, the 
property of Charles Clark, of this city ; he had run away in the 
carriage and injured one of his fore legs to a fearful extent, the me¬ 
tacarpal bone being laid bare for several inches. In the course of 
his being treated for this wound he took tetanus; but the acid and 
quietness had the desired effect, and he was free from tetanic spasms 
for about eighteen days. Number eight was a large and very beauti- 
tiful black horse, the property of Mr. Greenwood, of Manchester, 
and kept by him for funeral work. The case was idiopathic, and 
yielded to the same treatment in about a month. My ninth case was 
a very small child’s pony, the property of Arthur Lyon, Esq., of 
Bowden. The groom, a very knowing fellow, could not make out 
what was wrong, and sent me word : he thought he must have hurt 
his back, as he was very stiff across the loins, and could not eat.
