At the onset there is some fever (101° F.), dulness and inappetence, but these gradually subside, and in favorable cases complete recovery has taken place in two or three weeks. Bacteriological investigation has detected in the contents of the vesicles, staphylococcus pyogenes aureus, and streptococcus pyogenes. _Prevention_ is largely secured by a rigid separation of the diseased from the healthy. Other obvious precautions would be to exclude those dressing the sores from handling other horses until after thorough disinfection of the hands, and to keep the sound animals, during wet seasons, from the damp infecting soils, or when they must work on these, to smear the lower parts of the limbs with antiseptic ointments (tar, carbolic, iodine, mercuric, etc., etc.) _Treatment_ with sublimate bandages proves very satisfactory, yet any comparatively non-irritating antiseptic lotion may be used.
