TETANUS IN A MULE—RECOVERY. 
By Newton G. Le Gear, V. S., Waco, Texas. 
On March 8, 1899, Dr. C. C. Brown, M.D.C., was called to 
the Cooper Grocery Co. to see a sick mule. Upon reaching the 
place he found the mule to be suffering from tetanus, with symp¬ 
toms well marked, and gave a prognosis as unfavorable. After 
consulting with me upon the case, the carbolic acid treatment 
was decided upon, more in the way of an experiment than any¬ 
thing else. Gave intratracheally with a hypodermic syringe 
three times daily the following : 
Carbolic acid crystals, grs. iij 
Glycerine pure, 71T x. 
Aquae, TIT xv. 
This treatment was discontinued at the end of six days, on 
account of considerable irritation to his neck at the point of in¬ 
serting the needle, and campho-phenique substituted. Campho- 
phenique, xmi, was given hypodermically three times daily 
for four days longer, at the end of which time the mule was pro¬ 
nounced well and fit for duty—making in all ten days from the 
time treatment was begun. 
The use of campho-phenique gave very gratifying results, 
and as it is non-irritating can be safely used hypodermically. 
Eserine was used to keep the bowels open.

old, and give an opinion as to whether she was with foal. Owner 
stated that she should have had her colt the last of March. The 
mare presented every appearance of being pregnant and I told 
owner that she 'Cvould likely foal in a few days. I saw or heard 
nothing more of the case till July, when I saw the owner and he 
informed me that the mare had not had a colt and that although 
still appearing as if in foal he had decided she was not and was 
using her at light work. 
About the end of September a man drove the mare to my 
office and asked my opinion as to her condition. Being busy I 
asked him to bring her again and I would examine her. On 
October 17th he returned and informed me that the day before
