Lacerations of the commissure, or wounds of the skin at the poll are to be anticipated if this manner of punish- ment is not guardedly used. There are besides these some milder appliances which must not be overlooked. Among them is the repeated pricking of the tip of the nose with a pin, and the introduction of foreign bodies, such as musket balls in the ears. The origin of this last method dates back to 1607, when little round stones were recommended for the same object.

The means employed in this method vary according to the po- sition, whether upright or recumbent, in which it is desirable to confine the animal during an operation. STANDING POSITION. The necessity of imposing restraint upon the patient while imder treatment in the standing position arises not alone from the danger of injury to the operator and his assistants, from the biting and kicking of the excited animal, but because he is so thoroughly impartial in the distribution of his attentions that he even requires protection from his own violence, and his own flesh must be guard- ed from the contact of his own teeth.
