Bone tumors are frequently seen as exostosis on various parts of the horse's body. Our plan will be to consider them elsewhere, in con- nection with the diseases of those parts, because this will be at once. BONE TUMOR OF THE LOWER JAW (FROM A PHOTOGRAPH). more convenient and more practical. Cartilage or gristle tumors are seen principally on the shoulder-blade, ribs, breast-bone, etc., where they seldom cause much inconvenience. Bone tumors may be found on any part of the body. Our illustration shows one on the lower jaw. Symptoms.—Cartilage tumors are known by their positions in the neighborhood of gristle. They feel hard, but have a degree of elasticity which readily distinguishes them from bone. No signs of inflammation are present, on account of what is scientifically called the low organization of the abnor- mal growth; in other words, the meagreness of its supply of nerves, blood-vessels, etc. Treatment.—When in the neighborhood of a joint, the re- moval of a cartilage tumor is a very delicate operation, but in almost any other part of the body it may be removed without difficulty by a chisel or knife. Ordinarily, very little bleeding results, and they seldom return. The bone chisel in common use amono; veterinarians is shown in the accom- bone panying cut. It will be seen to be a very simple instrument. '^^^^^^^ IX. Big Head.
