PNEUMONIA. 495 



and a half fluid drachms of the iodine sohition were made. The 

 animal ate slowly, but consumed its oats and hay. In the evening 

 respiration 32 ; pulse 65 ; temperature 4i'3° C. 



On the 17th respiration 30 ; pulse 67 ; temperature 40"5° C. In 

 the lower third of the left lung was a zone of dulness limited by a line 

 drawn obliquely downwards and backwards. Over this area a trifling 

 tubal murmur, and towards the upper part some crepitation, were 

 heard. The appetite still remained good. The same treatment was 

 continued. In the evening respiration 34 ; pulse 70 ; temperature 

 41° C. 



On the i8th respiration 82; pulse 65 ; temperature 40*3° C. The 

 patient was less depressed than on the preceding days. The dull zone 

 was larger, the tubal murmur strong, and there was more crepitation. 

 The heart-beats were feeble but regular. The cough was frequent and 

 strong ; the mucous membranes were slightly injected. Two intra- 

 venous injections of 4 fluid drachms of iodine solution were made. 

 In the evening respiration 37 ; pulse 70 ; temperature 40*4'^ C. 



On the 19th respiration 35 ; pulse 68 ; temperature 40° C. 

 Dulness over the lower half of the left lung ; the tubal murmur 

 remained marked. The heart beat regularly ; the pulse was rather 

 feeble. During the day the breathing became rapid. The animal took 

 note of what occurred around it ; it did not leave any of its food. 

 Same treatment continued. In the evening respiration 50 ; pulse 66 ; 

 temperature 40° C. 



On the 20th respiration 45 ; pulse 62 ; temperature 39*1° C The 

 zone of dulness was stationary; the murmur persisted ; the pulse was 

 small, the conjunctiva slightly yellow ; the appetite was preserved. 

 Same treatment continued. In the evening respiration 35 ; pulse 60 ; 

 temperature 38*9° C. 



On the 2ist respiration 35 ; pulse 52 ; temperature 38-2° C. The 

 dull zone had diminished in size ; the tubal murmur was weaker ; the 

 crepitant rale indicating resolution had returned ; the pulse had again 

 become large and strong. The animal was exercised for a quarter of 

 an hour. Same treatment continued. In the evening respiration ^y ; 

 pulse 50 ; temperature 38*4° C. 



On the 22nd respiration 2>i'^ pulse 43; temperature 38-4° C. 

 Dulness had almost disappeared. On auscultation only a slight tubal 

 murmur and a few crepitant rales were noted. Exercised in the sun 

 during the afternoon, the patient was bright and walked with freedom. 

 On returning to its box it ate with good appetite. Same treatment con- 

 tinued. In the evening respiration '34 ; pulse 43 ; temperature 38-3° C. 

 On the 23rd respiration 30; pulse 40; temperature 38-2° C. There 

 were still a few crepitant rales. No cardiac disturbance. The animal 

 lay down during the day, but rose on the slightest disturbance. The 

 iodine treatment was stopped, and one and a half ounces of sodium 

 bicarbonate were given in the drinking-water. In the evening 

 respiration 30 ; pulse 45 ; temperature 38° C. 



On the 24th respiration 22 ; pulse 40 ; temperature 38° C. No 

 abnormal sound was heard on auscultation. There were no after 

 complications.
