The wart has been cut out once and the wound secured with a hot iron, but it has grown out again and is about the I Size of an egg. CHARLES SNOW '-111'' Answer by Dr. Frederick. A wart dan be removed from any part of the animal by cutting it off even with or under the skin. Somc-times Somc-times it is necessary to dissect them Ojit deeper into the tissues. However, How-ever, by cutting them off on a level with the skin and applying a red hot iron wc usifaJly do away with the condition. It is necessary to keep the part absolutely clean, and not allow collections of dirt, blood, puss . or manure to accumulate where TT this litis been removed. Somctimics fc.V ' wc apply costics or acid to do away with these growths, but the knife is the quickest and best trcatm'cnt if the after treatment is closely adhered to. It may be necessary to cleanse the part with some disinfectant for some time until the skin grows over tlie part again. n |
