SOCIETY MEETINGS. 
Dr. Allen : The essayist states that scirrhus cord is unsound. 
How can you differentiate a case of very small scirrhus cord and 
a ease of recent castration? 
Dr. Walker : I would make a very close examination and if 
the animal was but recently castrated, I would call the atten¬ 
tion of my client to it. 
Dr. Allen ; Can a scirrhus cord be treated with iodide of 
potash successfully? 
Dr. Walker : Yes. 
Dr. Allen : Would you treat a very bad case with iodide of 
potash, say one weighing seven or eight pounds? 
Dr. Walker: I might. I have never removed one myself, 
but I understand that bad cases were treated successfully with 
iodide of potash. 
Dr. Robertson : I had a case of that kind in a horse that had 
quite a discharge from the scrotum. I inserted a probe, opened 
it up a little so as to have room for the syringe and treated the 
horse internally with iodide of potash and in two weeks the 
horse was all right. 
Dr. J. G. Fish will lead the discussion on Glandular Dis¬ 
eases of the Throat, Obliterated Jugular, Crestfallen and Wry 
Neck in their relation to soundness at the April meeting. 
After a brief informal discussion it was resolved to adjourn.
