EXTRACTS FROM EXCHANGES. 
very favorably for nine days, when one inorniiiP-, as the dress- 
mg was about to be changed, the horse, by a sudden move, tore 
with his front foot all the sutures of the hind leg. The wound 
was at once disinfected, the protruding granulations curetted 
and a new dressing applied with all required antiseptic 
measures. Some ten or twelve days after the cicatrization was 
complete, y that time, however, the fet'ock began to swell 
apiii, and blistering and firing failed to give any relief. An 
abundant haemorrhage took place from one of the points of 
cauterization and on the following day the horse died, with 
lesions of septicaemia. 
L.-vrge Sclerotic Growth of the Right Hind Pas¬ 
tern, WITH Partial Ossification and Periostitis of the 
Phalanges.— After a bruise of the right hind coronet, followed 
by a swelling which resisted blistering and firing, a two-year- 
a id-a-half-old colt presented on that region a Tumor as\ig 
fu* J'^ad, and occupying the anterior and two lateral 
faces of the fetlock, and of the pasterns. The locomotion was 
iiuch interfered with. The diagnosis of sclerosis of the con¬ 
nective Ossue was made and extirpation by dissection decided 
7 a ®’’aved and thoroughly 
disinfected and the_ tiiinor exposed by first making two Ver¬ 
tical semilunar incisions, by which an elliptic piece of skin 
^he dissection of the skin was easy towards the 
i * ,. . 1 ^ ivhen working towards the an- 
tenor portion it was found necessary in order to expose the 
growth entirely to make another incision horizontally. This 
done, the tumor was carefully removed, and small bony projec- 
lons were excised with the bone forceps. The tendon of the 
anterior extensor and its bursa were found and left intact. To 
prevent the gathering of pus and permit of a better adaptation 
of the edges of the wounds, a third incision had to be made 
rom the mternal end of the horizontal one to the middle of the 
pastern. The wounds were closed antiseptically and drainage 
tubes put 111 place, the after treatment consisting in irrigations 
of sublimate solution with applications of iodoform and alco- 
10 1C solution of resorcine. The result was incomplete, as the 
cicatrization of the honzonal incision remained imperfect; that 
with sloughing of the 
kin , that of the inner side only healed properly. The o-rowtii 
was made of tense, very hard, fibrous tissue with few pouits of 
ossihcation. ^
