TREATMENT OF GLANDERS AND FARCY. 
517 
days, in order to remove the lameness wholly, without entirely 
depriving the foot of the sensibility of feeling. Berger, Brauell, 
Bouley, Gross, Mandel and others, have obtained real success by 
it; but it is attended with serious dangers; at any rate the bene¬ 
fit is not of long duration, or about one year. The animal then 
stumbles more readily, and is more exposed to traumatic lesions, etc., 
and it is probable from this cause that double neurotomy is seen 
to be followed by softening of the deep parts of the foot, suppura¬ 
tion, sloughing of the foot, while the animal has previously shown 
no signs of pain. Consequently, neurotomy is an operation w T hich 
finds its application only in peculiar and exceptional cases, and 
animals thus operated upon remain fit for light work only.
