use to that of potassium iodide in milk fever. He claims that 
comparing the two chinosol has given him better results. In¬ 
jections of 40 or 60 grains of pure chinosol in one or two quarts 
of boiled water give more rapid control of the cerebral symp¬ 
toms, excitement and pain than the iodide. The percentage of 
complete recoveries is higher. I11 mammitis, the authorises

each diseased quarter gives best results. In a series of cases

treatment is perfectly harmless and deserves a trial._ (Vet.

RUSSIAN REVIEW. 
Contagious Tameness of Horses [By Sotsevitch\.— 
Under the name of Potchitchouz is known an epizootic affection 
of the digital extremities of horses. It affects most ordinarily 
one foot at a time and appears with great lameness, before any 
local lesion is manifest. Then, in the diseased region vesicles 
of small size occur, filled with white yellowish exudate, which 
soon becomes purulent. The skin soon sloughs, then the cel- 
lular tissue beneath, the aponeurosis, muscles and tendons, and 
leave an ulcerated wound of various sizes, from which flows a 
\ellow foetid abundant discharge. The skin of the region be¬ 
comes yellow, the hairs are staring and drop out, the epidermis 
falls off. At the onset the animal is dull and has no appetite, 
the temperature rises to 39.5 0 and above; then the inflamma¬ 
tory manifestations subside, the sore foot carries weight and the 
outer symptoms disappear. The skin gradually returns to its 
normal condition and recovery is completed in 2 or 3 weeks. 
he affection is more commonly localized around the coronet 
and seldom extends beyond the first phalanx. If it goes higher 
it is less serious. Complications toward the hoof are not un¬ 
common , purulent infiltration and partial separation of the wall 
may be observed then ; sometimes synovial sacs ulcerate when 
the disease progresses, towards the joints. Lastly, when the 
inflammation is extensive, the skin may remain much thickened 
and the leg look like that of elephantiasis. Bacteriological
