FEVERS, 247 



In difficult and alarming cafes recourfe muft 

 always be had to the different prefcriptions in- 

 troduced under their proper claffes, ^-oarying^ in^ 

 creafing, and diminipnngy the articles or propor- 

 tions, according to the ftate of fymptoms or dif- 

 eafe for which they are prefcribed. Upon a 

 horfe's improvement, every fign in foody watery 

 cafe, and rejl^ is fo evidently calculated to give 

 ample proof of fpeedy recovery, that any recital 

 of circumftances fo readily diilinguilhed would 

 be entirely fuperfluous. Therefore naturally 

 concluding every intelligent obferver will plain- 

 ly perceive, when his horfe is getting out of 

 danger, hovj foo7i medicine is unneceffary, and 

 "when perfedly recovered, I confider it only ne- 

 ceffary to obferve, where the diftemper has been 

 violent, and the inflammatory fymptoms ran 

 high, fo as to leave any perceptible taint upon 

 either eyes or lungs, in a heavinefs upon ihtjirjl 

 or an oppreffion upon the latter, a courfe of 

 mild purgatives feleded from ihtpurgi?2g balls^ 

 (No. 1, or 2,) p. 36, will be very neceffary and 

 advantageous; letting it be clearly underftood 

 that no fuch plan is to be adopted if a termina- 

 tion of the dilorder (hould happen in the fevere 

 part of the winter, when a courfe of miiddiure' 

 tics are to be preferred, as particularized in
