asture with one
fore foot badly injured. The owner intended to destroy her, but a
neighbor prevailed upon him to have her treated. Apparently the
wound was of about a week's standing and in a very bad condition,
filled with maggots and dirt. Both the navicular and coronary
articulations were open. This wound was cleansed in the usual
manner and the owner cared for the case the balance of the time
because the distance from my office was too great to give her
personal attention. She made an almost complete recovery in five
months.

Case 10.--At two-year-old mule with an open navicular joint due
to a barbed wire wound. Usual care was given this case and in five
months recovery was complete and little scar is to be seen. This
case received seven treatments.

Case 11.--An eighteen-months-old colt at pasture was found down
and unable to rise without help. In addition to several wounds of
lesser importance there was a large wound on the inner side of the
elbow, the joint was open and the entire leg was greatly swollen
and in a state of acute infectious inflammation. The colt could not
walk, its temperature was 105 deg., pulse was rapid and respiration was
a little hurried. After advising the owner to put the poor animal
out of its misery I left the place. Four days later the owner came
to my office and asked if he could borrow some old shears to "trim
off some loose hide from that colt." He left the colt in the
pasture and all the care it received was the regular application of
a proprietary dusting powder. It made a complete recovery.

Case 12.--A family mare, heavy in foal, received a vertical wound
of the fetlock joint inflicted by a disc-harrow. The _cul-de-sac_
of the ligament of this joint was opened freely. The wound was
dressed in the usual manner and again three days later when no
suppuration had taken place. Four days later the patient gave birth
to a colt and suckled it right along through her convalescence.
This wound healed by first intention and seventy-nine days from the
date of the injury the mare was driven to town, two and one-half
miles distant, and showed but little lameness.
