VOMITING—is often a favourable relief to the human frame, which
advantage the horse does not posses, in consequence of the peculiar
construction of the gullet. It therefore becomes a matter of serious
consideration, how far it may be proper or prudent to administer to a
horse, medicines whose properties tend to excite a stimulus, and induce
the stomach to a regurgitation by vomit; an operation which it is
impossible can take place. See _Tartar Emetic_.
U.
ULCER.—An ulcer is a wound, which, from long standing, and injudicious
treatment, is become virulent and inveterate; having acquired a rigid
callosity at the edges, and a discoloured, foul, unhealthy slough in the

digestive applications, but must be subdued by superficial
scarification, and the milder class of corrosives and escharotics.
