On tlie 13th he was exercised a very little and tied in the 
sun for two or three hours. On the morning of the 14th he 
was again exercised, being given a little more walk than on the 
i 7th When two blocks from home he was again taken with 
an attack and was taken home with difficulty, and had a repeti¬ 
tion of the other attacks. In twenty minutes he was again all 
right, but his appetite was not so good. He would stait at his 
food ravenously, but leave a part of two quarts of oats. Swell¬

14th to 16th appetite grew less, circulation a trifle faster, eyes 
more droopy, death taking place at 6.20 P. M. of 16th. After a 
severe attack he reared up and fell dead without a struggle. 
Circumstances, much to my regret, prevented a post-mortem 
which might or might not have revealed tlie cause, but I am at

C a s e No /.—There were two deeply punctured wounds of 
the femoral region in a horse; they were three inches apart 6 
and 4 inches deep respectively. They were treated by cold- 
water irrigations, followed by chlorozone (i to 6 of water,, and 
iodoform gauze packing. The packing was discontinued after 
the third day, as it fretted the patient too much and the chloro¬ 
zone appeared to be sufficient. Rapid recovery. In our climate 
punctured wounds in this region are very dangerous, owing to 
phlegmonous inflammation, followed quickly by mortification 
and death. In these two cases there was absolutely no mtiani-
