Chapter XV: Operations (4)

_Treatment._--Bathe the sore with the chloride of zinc lotion, one grain to the ounce of water. Continue to do this thrice daily; feed liberally. A slough will take place, and the animal be well in about a month; the only danger being the after-result of a false quarter.

TUMORS.

These are so various and of such different natures, that in every case a surgeon should be consulted.

WARTS.

_Cause._--Unknown.

_Symptom._--There are three kinds of warts. 1st. Some are contained in a cuticular sac, and, upon this being divided, shell out. 2d. The second are cartilaginous and vascular. These grow to some size, and are rough on the surface. They are apt to ulcerate. 3d. Consists of a cuticular case, inclosing a soft granular substance.

_Treatment._--When of the first kind, slit up, and squeeze them out. The second kind, excise and apply a heated iron to stop the bleeding. The third kind are better let alone.

WATER FARCY.

_Cause._--Overwork and coarse feed, succeeded by periods of stagnation. It is the warning that true farcy threatens the stable.

_Symptoms._--Load less and work less.

_Treatment._--Improve the diet, and never allow the horse to remain a day in the stable without exercise. Saturate the swollen limb with cold water every morning, and have it afterward thoroughly hand-rubbed until it is perfectly dry. Should lameness remain after the first day, a few punctures may be made into the limb, but only through the skin. Give the following ball every morning: Iodide of iron, one drachm; powdered cantharides, two grains; powdered arsenic, one grain; Cayenne pepper, one scruple; sulphate of iron, one drachm; treacle and linseed meal, a sufficiency. Mix. The delay even of a day in treatment is attended with danger in this disease.

WIND-GALLS.

_Cause._--Hard work.

_Symptoms._--Small enlargements, generally upon the hind legs and below the hocks; no lameness; two wind-galls appear above the pastern, one beneath that joint; after extraordinary labor, the round swellings disappear and the course of the flexor tendons becomes puffy. Sometimes continued irritation will cause the wind-galls to greatly enlarge, and ultimately provokes their case to change into bone. During these changes the horse is very lame.

_Treatment._--Fold pieces of rags; wet them; put these on the wind-galls; place on the rags pieces of cork, and over the cork lace on an India-rubber bandage. Mind this bandage is constantly worn, save when ridden or driven by the proprietor. Rest is the only alleviation for the change of structure.

WINDY COLIC.

_Causes._--Gorging on green food; but more commonly impaired digestion, consequent upon severe labor and old age.

_Symptoms._--Uneasiness; pendulous head; cessation of feeding. Breathing laborious; fidgets; rocking the body; enlargement of the belly; pawing. Standing in one place; sleepy eye; heavy pulse; flatulence; the abdomen greatly enlarged. Breathing very fast; pulse very feeble; blindness; the animal walks round and round till it falls and dies.

_Treatment._--Three balls of sulphuret of ammonia, two drachms, with extract of gentian and powdered quassia, of each a sufficiency, may be given, one every half hour. Next, one ounce of chloride of potash, dissolved in a pint of cold water, and mingled with sulphuric ether, two ounces, should be horned down. In an hour's time, two ounces each of sulphuric ether and of laudanum; half an ounce of camphorated spirits; one drachm of carbonate of ammonia may be administered. No good effect being produced, throw up a tobacco-smoke enema. As a last resort, procure a stick of brimstone and light it. Remain in the stable while it burns, or the sulphureous fumes may become too powerful for life to inhale them. Continue this measure for two hours; then repeat the remedies previously recommended. All being fruitless, a desperate resort may be adopted. Puncture the abdomen with a trocar; but this operation can only be named here; the reader must turn to the substance of the book for its description.

WORMS

Are of four kinds: the Tænia, the Lumbrici, the Strongulus, and the Ascarides.

The _Tænia_ mostly affect the young.

_Cause._--Starving the mare when with foal, and breeding from old animals.

_Symptoms._--Checked development; large head; low crest; long legs, and swollen abdomen. Appetite ravenous; body thin; coat unhealthy; breath fetid. The colt rubs its nose against a wall, or strains it violently upward; picks and bites its own hair.

_Treatment._--Give spirits of turpentine. To a foal, two drachms; to a three months' old, half an ounce; six months, one ounce; one year, one ounce and a half; two years, two ounces; three years, three ounces; four years and upwards, four ounces. Procure one pound of quassia chips; pour on them three quarts of boiling water. Cause to blend with the turpentine a proportionate quantity of the quassia infusion, by means of yolks of eggs; add one scruple of powdered camphor, and give first thing in the morning. Good food is essential afterward. Subsequently give every morning, till the coat is glossy, liquor arsenicalis, from one to eight drachms; muriated tincture of iron, from one and a half to twelve drachms; extract of belladonna, from ten grains to two drachms; ale or stout, from half a pint to a quart.

The _Lumbrici_ prey upon the old and the weakly.

_Treatment._--Tartarized antimony, two drachms; common mass, a sufficiency to make one ball. Give one every morning.

The _Strongulus_, during life, is generally not known to be present.

The _Ascarides_ cause great itching posteriorly, which provokes the horse to rub its hair off against the wall.

_Treatment._--Try injections of train oil for one week. Then use infusion of catechu, one ounce to one quart of water. On the eighth morning, give aloes, four drachms; calomel, one drachm. Tobacco-smoke enemas are sometimes useful, and the following ointment may be placed up the rectum night and morning: Glycerin, half an ounce; spermaceti, one ounce; melt the spermaceti, and blend; when cold, add strong mercurial ointment, three drachms; powdered camphor, three drachms.

WOUNDS.

A _lacerated wound_ is generally accompanied by contusion, but with little hemorrhage. Shock to the system is the worst of its primary effects. The danger springs from collapse. A slough may probably follow. The slough is dangerous in proportion as it is tardy. The horse may bleed to death if the body is much debilitated.

_Treatment._--Attend first to the system. Give a drink composed of sulphuric ether and laudanum, of each one ounce; water, half a pint. Repeat the medicine every quarter of an hour if necessary, or till shivering has ceased and the pulse is healthy. A poultice, made of one-fourth brewer's yeast, three-fourths of any coarse meal; or a lotion, consisting of tincture of cantharides, one ounce; chloride of zinc, two drachms; water, three pints, may be employed. When the slough has fallen, apply frequently a solution of chloride of zinc, one grain to the ounce of water; and regulate the food by the pulse.

An _incised wound_ produces little shock. The danger is immediate, as the horse may bleed to death.

_Treatment._--Do not move the horse. Dash the part with cold water, or direct upon the bleeding surface a current of wind from the bellows. When the bleeding has ceased and the surfaces are sticky, draw the edges together with divided sutures. When the sutures begin to drag, cut them across. After copious suppuration has been established, bathe frequently with the solution of chloride of zinc, one grain to the ounce of water.

An _abraded wound_ generally is accompanied by grit or dirt forced into the denuded surface. The pain is so great, the animal may sink from irritation.

_Treatment._--Cleanse, by squeezing water from a large sponge above the wound, as was directed for broken knees, and allow suppuration to remove any grit that is fixed in the flesh. Support the body, and use the chloride of zinc lotion.

A _punctured wound_ is dangerous, as the parts injured are liable to motion. On this account those above the stifle are very hazardous. Sinuses form from the torn fascia opposing the exit of the pus; also because the small hole in the skin generally bears no proportion to the internal damage.

_Treatment._--Always enlarge the external opening to afford egress to all sloughs and pus. Regulate the food by the symptoms, and use the chloride of zinc lotion.

A _contused wound_, when large, causes more congealed blood than can be absorbed. This corrupts, and a slough must occur or an abscess must form. Either generates weakness, produces irritation, and may lead to fatal hemorrhage. Or sinuses may form. Wherefore, such accidents are not to be judged of hastily.

_Treatment._--When the contusion is slight, rub the part with iodide of lead, one drachm of the salt to an ounce of lard. When large, divide the skin, every eighth inch, the entire length of the swelling. Bathe the injury with the chloride of zinc lotion, and support the body, as the symptoms demand liberality in the matter of food.

In all wounds, gain, if possible, a large depending orifice, and cover the denuded surfaces with a rag saturated with oil of, or in solution of, tar.

* * * * *

The author, having now concluded his labors, cannot forbear from repeating the advice which was given to the reader at the commencement of the present Summary--always appeal to the body of the work so soon as the first danger has subsided. Many hints are therein contained which could not be embodied in anything deserving to be entitled an abbreviation. Ampler space there enables the writer to describe certain precautions and to suggest various stratagems which, of course, would be out of place in the pages where condensation was the professed characteristic. For these reasons the reader is most earnestly recommended never to depend longer upon the contents of the Summary, than the pressure of immediate danger shall render imperative.

THE END.

Gazetteer of the World.

Lippincott's Pronouncing Gazetteer of the World; or, Geographical
Dictionary. Containing--

=I. A Descriptive Notice, with the most recent and authentic
information respecting the countries, islands, rivers, mountains,
cities, towns, etc., in every part of the globe.=

=II. The Names of all important places, etc., both in their native
and foreign languages, with the pronunciation of the same--a feature
never attempted in any other work.=

=III. The classical names of all ancient places, so far as they can
be accurately ascertained from the best authorities.=

=IV. It also contains a complete etymological vocabulary of
geographical names.=

BY J. THOMAS, M.D., and T. BALDWIN. One volume of over 2000 imperial
8vo. pages. $6.00.

It has evidently been prepared with great labor, and, as far as I can judge, from the best materials and sources of information.... I have no doubt it will be found an extremely useful work, well calculated to supply a want which must have been severely felt by almost every class of readers.--From the Hon. EDWARD EVERETT.

Having long felt the necessity of a work of this kind, I have spent no small amount of time in examining yours. It seems to me so important to have a comprehensive and authentic gazetteer in all our colleges, academies, and schools, that I am induced in this instance to depart from my general rule in regard to giving recommendations.... The rising generation will be greatly benefited, both in the accuracy and extent of their information, should your work be kept as a book of reference on the table of every professor and teacher in the country.--From the Hon. HORACE MANN, LL.D., President of Antioch College.

It gives me pleasure to be able to say that I have found it, as far as examined, not only very correct, but very full and comprehensive; and that I consider it a desideratum alike to the scholar and the man of business, as well as a very valuable contribution to our American literature.--From ELIPHALET NOTT, D.D., LL.D., President of Union College.

This is a great work, and executed with immense labor and consummate ability.... It would be difficult to find another volume in the English language which contains, in the same space, an equal amount of important, well-digested, and clearly-expressed information. I see not how the office or the counting-room, the family or the school, can anywhere afford to do without this book.--From Prof. C. E. STOWE, Andover Theo. Seminary.

Goodrich's Man upon the Sea.

Man upon the Sea; or, A History of Maritime Adventure, Exploration,
and Discovery, from the earliest ages to the present time:
Comprising a detailed account of remarkable voyages, ancient as well
as modern. By FRANK B. GOODRICH, author of the "Letters of Dick
Tinto," "The Court of Napoleon," etc. With numerous illustrations,
by Van Ingen & Snyder. One vol. 8vo. $3.00.

This popular work, which had reached its second edition a few days after publication, will always remain a favorite with the public. It is complete, covering the whole history of maritime adventure, and yet it gives lively details of the doings of celebrated voyagers, from the first navigator down to the celebrated voyagers who laid the Atlantic submarine telegraph cable. Mr. Goodrich's vivacity and agreeableness as a narrator are exhibited not less auspiciously here than in his celebrated "Court of Napoleon," which was recognized as one of the most delightful of court histories. The embellishments are very numerous, and strictly appropriate to the subject.--_Home Gazette._

Waverley Novels.

engravings. $1.25 per vol.

These several editions of the Waverley Novels all possess the advantage of a good readable type, fine paper, and first-rate printing, and are afforded at a reasonable price. The illustrations are taken from the celebrated Abbotsford edition, (now out of print,) and are engraved in a very fine style. It is superfluous to commend these masterly productions of genius to the reading public. They are the model and standard of all subsequent writers of fiction, and for dramatic power they are unapproachable.

Bloomfield's Greek Testament.

The Greek Testament: With English Notes, critical, philological, and
exegetical, partly selected and arranged from the best commentators,
ancient and modern, but chiefly original. The whole being especially
adapted to the use of academical students, candidates for the
sacred office, and ministers, though also intended as a manual

Book of Days.

The Book of Days: A New, Popular, and Interesting Miscellany. Edited
by ROBERT CHAMBERS. This work is published in Parts periodically,
and is designed to be completed in two, or at the utmost three,
volumes. It will consist of--

=I. Matters connected with the Church Calendar=, including
the Popular Festivals, Saints' Days, and other Holidays, with
illustrations of Christian antiquities in general.

=II. Phenomena connected with the Seasonal Changes.=

=III. Folk-lore of the United Kingdom=: Namely, Popular Notions and
Observances connected with times and seasons.

=IV. Notable Events, Biographies, and Anecdotes= connected with the
days of the year.

=V. Articles of Popular Archæology=, of an entertaining character,
tending to illustrate the progress of civilization, manners,
literature, and ideas in those kingdoms.

=VI. Curious, Fugitive, and Inedited Pieces.=

It is the design of this work, while not discouraging the progressive spirit of the age, to temper it with affectionate feelings towards what is poetical and elevated, honest and of good report; while in no way discountenancing great material interests, to evoke an equal activity in those feelings beyond self on which depend remoter but infinitely greater interests. The publishers wish that these volumes should be a repertory of old fireside ideas in general, as well as a means of improvement.

The work will be printed in a new, elegant, and readable type, and will be illustrated with an abundance of wood engravings.
