On the fourth, the swelling had nearly disappeared. The eschar separated in nine days from the infliction of the wound, leaving the parts healed and free from scar. Mrs. G. was bitten by a little dog on forefinger about a fortnight ago. There is now a very irritable, inflamed, fungous sore. I removed the fungous by a pair of scissors and applied the lunar caustic to form an eschar.
The lachrymal duct is a small canal, leading from the internal angle of the eye to the nostrils, and is the passage through which the tears escape from the eye. This duct may become closed by inflammation of the lining membrane of the nose, caries of the bone, ulcers, fungous growths, or by the presence of some extraneous substance impacted in it.
This little gland often becomes greatly enlarged from inflammation or fungous growths old dogs are much more subject to the disease than young ones. 'Treatment'. The application of cooling collyria and a weak solution of nitrate of silver, will generally suppress the further growth of this gland.
