86 TETANUS, OB Locx-JAW. 



in the most kind and quiet manner, and no glare of 

 light admitted into the stable for the same reason. 

 The medicine can be given by the Medicator, thrown 

 well back into the mouth. 



So soon as any stiffness of the jaws, or other in- 

 dication of this disease appears, give fifteen drops of 

 che Specific, A A, for CONVULSIONS, and repeat the 

 dose every three hours. Should an improvement 

 not take place in twenty-four hours, whether occa- 

 sioned by any injury or otherwise, alternate the 

 Specific for PARALYSIS, J J, with the first-named, at 

 intervals of three or four hours, and continue this 

 treatment perseveringly. In some cases the Specific 

 for PARALYSIS, J J, may be used to advantage from 

 the first, but the two remedies will generally be 

 found most successful in alternation. 



When the disease has become fully developed, or 

 appears very violent, or does not promptly yield to 

 the remedies, we advise the following course, from a 

 full conviction that, if perseveringly fo lowed the 

 animal may be promptly saved. One case has been 

 reported to me in which the recommendation was 

 carried out with entire success After six buckets 

 of cold water had been used the chill came on, with 

 prompt relaxation of the spasm which never return- 

 ed, and the animal made a prompt recovery. 



Provide several buckets or tubs of water, as cold 

 as it can be made, the colder the better, even if 

 swimming in snow and ice, as the object is to reduce 

 the temperature of the animal as rapidly as possible.
