Case 4.--A four-year-old bay mare having a wire-cut which opened
the tarsus joint was treated as heretofore described. The wound was
kept bandaged for about two weeks and later it was dressed without
being bandaged. In ninety days she had completely recovered.

Case 5.--A twelve-year-old mare with an open fetlock joint due to
a puncture wound. The margins of the wound were cleansed and the
external wound enlarged to facilitate drainage. Tincture of iodin
was injected; the wound was bandaged and dressed for a month in the
manner heretofore described, when all discharge had stopped. A
vesicant was applied; the mare was put to pasture and within sixty
days from the date of the injury she was being driven on short
trips.

Case 6.--A two-year-old brown gelding with a wire-cut on the left
front foot. The wound extended down through the sole and opened the
navicular joint. This colt was very wild and it was necessary to
tie it down each time the wound was dressed. The wound was dressed
weekly for a month and less frequently thereafter. It was handled
eight times; the last dressing was left in place until worn out.
Six months later the colt was practically well, a very little
lameness being shown when walking on frozen ground.

Case 7.--A seven-year-old saddle-horse weighing eleven hundred
and fifty pounds received a wound of the tarsus, laying bare the
articular surfaces of a part of the joint. It was impossible to
keep this wound bandaged because of the restless disposition of the
subject. Injections of a dilute tincture of iodin were employed
every second or third day for a month and the wound was kept
covered with the antiseptic dusting powder referred to heretofore.
In five months complete recovery had taken place, with the
exception of a stubborn skin disturbance which was successfully
treated six months after the wound was inflicted. The horse is
still in use and is absolutely free from lameness.

Case 8.--A two-year-old brown gelding with a wire-wound opening
the scapulohumeral joint. This wound was large enough to expose to
view the articular portion of the humerus. The same treatment as
that given case No. one was instituted and in ninety days the colt
was practically well.

Case 9.--A three-year-old bay filly was found at p
