Should ihe symptoms abate nothing in consequence 

 of this treatment, the bleeding must be repeated and 

 the purgative too. Rub over his loins the following 



EMBROCATION. — Spirits of wine and soap, each 2 ounces ' 

 camphor, 1 ounce. Mix, and nib it on with the pahn of the hand- 



Cover the animal up well, and be careful how he is 

 subsequently exposed to'the air. iMustard embroca- 

 tion is equally efficacious, being rubbed on soft sheep- 

 skin, cover the loins therewith. Give the cooling de- 

 coction in large quantities, as directed under the head 

 of "Costiveness," in a preceding page. His diet will

 contracting on every drop of water almost that finds

 the state of the pulse would ihen be necessary. 



Remedy- — A slightly purgative ball should of course 

 follow the bleeding, but employ neither in the extreme. 

 Giving the cooling decoction recommended in 'Fever,' 

 page 14 ; administer clyster of the same two or three 

 times a day. Should great heat of the bladder con- 

 tinue, notwithstanding these remedies, give the fever 

 powder No. 2, at page 15, and afterwards No. 2, made 

 in a ball, daily. 



DIABETE OR EXCESSIVE STALING. 



Symptoms. — Of course, the most obvious is the dis- 

 charge whence the disorder derives its name, being 

 frequent in very large quantities. At first, the water
