The time will come when the wound will no longer heal. It will have assumed a new character; it will have become a malignant cancerous ulcer, the source, no doubt, of great pain to the animal, wearing her down with greater or less rapidity, and rendering her a perfect nuisance to every one about her. As soon as the cancerous ulcer is established, the duty of the practitioner will be a straightforward one, namely, to advise that a termination should be put to that suffering which he cannot relieve.

If, however, it is insisted upon that the case should continue to be treated, fomentations of poppy-heads may be used to assuage the anguish; a weak solution of the chloride of lime to get rid of the stench; and the tincture of iodine, diluted with eleven times the quantity of water, to attack, if possible, the cancerous principle.
