in moist, foetid eczemas and in old ulcers ; as tannoform with 
alum a.a. in over granulations ; as ointment with lanolin 
^0-25,0 over healing wounds as a protection ; as collodion 
rlio% with a brush applied over fresh sutures, and introduced 
into fistulse. It appears that tannoform stops quickly the 
wound-secretions, that it deodorizes perfectly, and soon forms a 
dry, brown and consistent scab which, on falling off, presents 
a healed wound. 
Liquor Natrii Saeicyeici in Tendonitis. —Army 
veterinarian Meinecke recommends the treatment of acute 
and chronic inflammations of the flexor tendons with band¬ 
ages saturated with this fluid. He has used this method for 
several years. In acute inflammations with much swelling he 
uses diligently cold washings for 2-3 days. Then he applies a 
clean, elastic flannel bandage with the greatest care to avoid 
folds. Over this he winds another bandage soaked in the liquor, 
allowing the first bandage to protrude slightly at both ends 
over the saturated bandage. The process of hardening com¬ 
mences at once and is complete in a few hours. 200—300 
grammes of the liquor are sufficient for any application. If the 
horse is very lame, he allows it to rest for a few days, other¬ 
wise it is gently exercised. In chronic forms he has permitted 
the bandage to remain on for three months at a time with daily 
use in the saddle and with complete success. These bandages 
have the advantage of light-weight, and they are strong and 
easily removed. 
Antifibrin in Eaminttis. —Hausen-Flanders reports the 
use of antifibrin in 46 cases of laminitis. He had formerly 
used pilocarpine and arecoline, but considers the effects of anti¬ 
fibrin superior. He allows the shoe to remain on the foot, but 
extracts the toe-nails, and envelops the feet into bags fre¬ 
quently moistened. The horse should stand on a good bedding. 
He prescribes antifibrin 15.0 every six hours, with little food 
and no water the first day, a quarter pail the second day. Thus 
treated the majority of cases recovered within 2-3 days, i. e., 
they were put to use that soon.
