SPECIAL OPERATIONS. 485 After-Treatment and Effects.—In either form of nerving the after- treatment will consist in placing a stitch in the cut, and bandaging the leg regularly for a few days with the Cooling Lotion No. 4. Complete rest must be given. The after-effects of neurotomj" are very variable. The horse may, perhaps, travel sound and good for a great many years at slow work; or, on the other hand, unfavorable accidents may occur, such as breaking the pedal bone, rupturing a tendon, or a condition of com- plete breakdown, such as is reproduced in the illustration. It is alwavs well to take the horse-shoer into your confidence after an operation of this kind, so that the feet may be better watched, and more care taken in driving the shoe nails. VIII. Trepanation, or Trephining. This consists in removing a piece of bone, most commonly from the head. The object, usually, is to allow matter to escape from some of the facial sinuses; to make an opening to insert a lever to elevate some broken part; or to open the cranial cavity, in order to remove tumors .or worms. Occasionally, it is necessary also to trephine the scapula, in old cases of fistulous withers, to se- cure proper drainage for a deeply im- bedded "pipe"' beneath it. Opening the cavities of the face is the only form necessitated at all frequently. The principal of these cavities, and the places to reach them by trephining, are shown so clearly in the illustration that they require no further description. Trephining Described.—The hair is.
