The article includes detailed descriptions of both the Auburn and the author's modified methods of this procedure, as well as photographs of wounds during treatment (see the end).

This small book is totally restricted to wounds. Considering that most horses dedicate their lives to injuring themselves, it is certainly a book to keep handy. Equine injuries are rarely minimal, and those addressed in this book are an education on their own. The information is well-presented and thorough. Each section walks you through the topic, providing a quality discussion of the subject.

With all the present day technology and major advances in veterinary medicine, the mechanics of wound healing in the horse remains essentially the same biological process with or without man's intervention. We can aid in the healing process by providing the proper environment for the living tissue to repair itself, but we can not substitute a better mechanism than the natural process.
