SPINAL MENINGITIS. 145 



TEN TO FIFTEEN DROPS for the first six hours ; then 

 for twelve hours give it every hour, and afterward 

 at intervals of two hours, and as the animal improves 

 the intervals between doses may be prolonged to 

 three or even four hours. 



IF DURING THE DISEASE THE WATER should be- 



come VERY SCANTY, passed with difficulty or sup- 

 pressed, then give the H H, in alternation with the 

 A A, every two hours ; that is, give A A, wait two 

 hours and give H H ; then wait two hours and again 

 give A A, and so on, in doses of ten to fifteen drops 

 until the secretion of water is established, when the 

 H H, may be discontinued. 



AFTER THE MORE URGENT STAGE HAS PASSED, 

 and there yet remains WEAKNESS or PARALYSIS OF 

 THE LOINS in any degree, the J J, is the remedy, and 

 it may be given in the same doses, either in alterna- 

 tion with A A, if the acute symptoms have not en- 

 tirely disappeared, or alone. For the remaining 

 weakness, give at intervals of two to four hours at 

 first, and afterwards four times per day. It is the 

 special remedy for the paralysis and the convales- 

 cence. 



The animal should not be exercised or worked too 

 soon after recovery, for fear of relapse.
