238 ENCEPHALITIS, INPLAJCLIATION OF THE BEAIN. 



Encephalitis, Inflammation of the 

 Brain. 



This disease may arise from internal causes, but 

 more frequently from sun-stroke, blows upon the 

 head, too plentiful food, etc. 



SYMPTOMS. The animal ceases to eat ; hangs its 

 ears and head, which are hot lo the touch; walks along 

 staggering, unconscious whither it goes ; the eyes are 

 bright and red, and projected from the head ; the air 

 it expires is hot; the breathing short, rapid, and ac- 

 companied with violent beating of the flanks; it re- 

 mains lying down, head stretched on the ground, and, 

 as the disease draws to a close, it ends in convul- 

 sions. 



TREATMENT. Give the FEVER SPECIFIC, A A, a 

 dose of three or five drops every hour during the 

 height of the disease, and then at longer intervals as 

 the case improves.
