SOCIETY MEETINGS. 
From the 21st up to July 4th the wound was dressed every 
other day, Yillate’s solution being injected into the track, which re¬ 
mains about the same. Lameness increasing. 
July 9th.—A piece of lateral ligament which has been 
slowly sloughing is removed. 
July 24th.—The usual dressing has been continued all this 
time. The track now begins to close up and the wound is healing 
nicely. Lameness a trifle less. The walls of all four feet are 
rasped down. 
31st.—The dressing is now removed and the wall below 
the coronary band thinned down, hoof unguent being ap¬ 
plied to the parts. 
Aug. 1st.—An astringent lotion is applied to a small tumor 
which has been formed on the elbow. 
Aug. 3rd.—The shoes are put on, walks quite well. 
Aug. 5th.—The tumor is opened and a tent of oakum coated 
with a a basilicon and populum unguent inserted, to induce sup¬ 
puration. 
Aug. 10.—Tumor healing. Patient discharged. Is not lame

ringbone, which will probably yield to treatment. Hid the com¬ 
plications been less serious I think that the result would have 
been more satisfactory.
