_Galls are lest treated by rest_. Ointments or "gall cures" are usually
applied. The following dry dressing dusted over the red, moist, abraded
surfaces is quite healing: tannic acid one ounce, boric acid four ounces,
and calomel two ounces. This may be dusted over the part two or three times
daily. Dry, abraded surfaces may be treated by applying a mixture of
glycerine four ounces, tannic acid one-half ounce and carbolic acid one
dram. In operating for the removal of fibrous enlargements, thickened skin
and abscesses on the front of the shoulder, it is advisable to make the
incision in the skin well to the side of the face of the shoulder in order
to avoid scarring the surface that comes in contact with the collar.
