This
is
a
disease
most
common
to
young
horses,
and
consists
in
a
long
swelling
of
the
parotid
gland,
beginning
at
the
roots
of
the
ears
and
descending
downward.
If
it is
painful
and
inflamed,
apply
the
poultice;
if
it
suppurates,
open
the
lump,
let
out
the
matter,
and
dress
with
the
green
ointment.
If
it
is
hard
and
indolent,
apply
strong
mercurial
oint-
ment,
to
disperse
it,
and
bleed
moderately.
