NEW TREATMENT OF TETANUS. 
W. Durocq reports two cases of traumatic lockjaw, which 
he treated successfully with spirits of turpentine. After several 
unsatisfactory attempts he composed the following drench : Spirits 
turpentine, one litre ; camphor, twenty grammes ; eggs, eight. 
In a first case, a filly of three years, affected for three days, 
was placed in a dark and quiet stall and received half of the above 
mixture, which was renewed the next day. In a second case a 
gelding of three years, sick eight days, received the same 
treatment, one dose of the drench for two days, and was also 
placed in a dark, quiet box stall. Both patients recovered. 
Shortly after the administration of the mixture both animals 
were taken with great excitement, followed by profuse per¬ 
spiration and slight coma, to which succeeded an abundant 
diuresis, and complete liberty of the bowels. In both cases the 
convalesence lasted two months.— {Arch. Vet.)
