tissue is choked up with grease and lymph. 

 Those only have got well in which the running 

 has been regular and copious, and the wasting 

 of the flesh progressive. 



If the fever is not regular, two pills of 

 sulphate of quinine must be given, each pill 

 containing one gramme, one pill in the morn- 

 ing, the other during the day, in order to 

 prevent the fit, which usually takes place in 

 the evening. If the state of atony, of ady- 

 namia, comes on at this period, acetate of 

 ammonia must be given, from one to six ounces, 

 in a pint of water, the same to be administered 

 in two doses; only the acidulous or alka- 

 line drinks must be discontinued, otherwise 

 the acetate of ammonia would be decomposed 

 in its passage into the digestive channels. 

 Finally, the eyes, the nostrils, and the 

 mouth must be frequently washed with an 

 infusion of camomile, or some other aromatic 

 plant. 



The setons must be kept up very carefully. 

 If the sick animal relishes the nutritive 

 beverages, let him have a decoction of bread, 

 rice, barley, or oats.
