gan to swell till it appeared like a case of osteo-porosis. To 
make it short, I opened two big abscesses before long and the 
horse is at work. 
From the books at my command, I see no record of such a 
temperature for strangles. Is it common ? I seldom see it 
varying far from 105°. 
MODERATE EXERCISE SUCCESSFUE IN A CASE OF lEIAC 
THROMBOSIS. 
By Frances Abele, Jr., Quincy, Mass. 
Was called to a horse for azoturia, which recovered ; was led 
home five miles, after thirty-six hours rest. After exercising a 
short time he would become lame, so that the leg would not be 
propelled at all, and every time he was driven it would be the 
same. After rest it would be all right again. Suspected throm¬ 
bus. Examination proved suspicion. Rectal examination after 
exercise showed lack of pulsation in the external iliac and meta¬ 
tarsal artery. Prognosed treatment useless. Now for the live- 
and-learn experience part. The horse was driven every day un¬ 
til unable to proceed, and when able moved again. At last ac¬ 
counts he could go five miles at a jog before being overtaken so 
badly as to have to halt. Since this treatment started, I noticed 
in the REVIEW a “ foreign correspondence article ” (I cannot lay 
my hand on it now) where this same line of treatment is recom¬ 
mended as the most satisfactory. Just how practical it is would 
seem to depend much on what work the horse was to be put to. 
One veterinarian remarked to me, “ What a good horse that 
would be to have a veterinarian examine for soundness. With 
nine out of ten, he would pass.”
