I. Caries.
This is molecular death or ulceration of a bone. It may affect any bone in the body. The bones most frequently affected by caries are the teeth; the lower jaw, from injury from the bit; the jaw bones, from diseased teeth; bones of the neck, from poll evil; spines of the back, from fistulous withers; bones of the tail, from docking—in fact, any bone sustaining an injury of sufficient severity to cause a sloughing of the bone substance.

The surface of the bone is usually rough when felt with the finger, and has a tendency to spread if neglected. The surrounding parts always swell considerably, and become, in long-standing cases, quite hard and calloused.
What to do.—Wash the part, and make an opening on the under side, if possible, to allow a free escape of the pus; scrape the diseased surface of the bone with a dull edge, and dress twice a day, with the following lotion:

This will have the effect of arresting the caries, and promoting a healthy granulation on the surface of the bone, which will fill up the hole. Continue this lotion till all disease of the bone is certainly gone; then change to No. 7, which will heal the flesh wound, or use a little tincture of myrrh, or gum balsam. If it is cold weather, compound tincture of benzoine (Friar’s
