686 THE DISEASES AND DISORDEES OP THE OX. 



ADYNAMIA NERVOSA GENERALIS, or PRE-PARTURIENT ADYNAMIA. 



Draught — 



Solution of hydrochlorate of strychnine, two fluid drachms. 

 Tincture of perchloride of iron, half a fluid ounce. 

 Water to make eight fluid ounces in all. 

 This draught may be given twice daily ; but it is very important to remember 

 that in cases of pre-parturient adynamia it is advisable to commence treatment 

 by the administration of a dose of laxative medicine. The formulae mentioned 

 under Cathartics (mild) are all useful ones. 



AFTER-PAINS. 



Draught — 



Tincture of opium, one fluid ounce. 

 Spirit of chloroform, one fluid ounce. 

 Water to make one pint in all. 

 This draught may be given twice daily for a day or two, as may be judged 

 necessary. 



AGALACTIA, ob NON-SECRETION OF MILK. 

 Draught — 



Powdered aniseeds, two ounces. 



Powdered gentian, two ounces. 

 This draught may be mixed in a pint of warm water or beer, and administered 

 'twice or thrice daily. When the secretion of milk is stopped in the case of a 

 cow presumably healthy in other respects, the diet should be of a nutritious 

 kind, and supplied in full amount. It is, however, to be borne in mind that a 

 <5essation of the secretion of milk is very frequently merely one of the symptoms 

 of some disease, and therefore in all cases great judgment is requisite, and the 

 general disturbance must be most carefully looked to. Moreover, if the mam- 

 mary gland is much wasted, treatment is not likely to be of any material value. 



ALBUMINURIA. 



Draught- 

 Sulphate of sodium, sixteen ounces. 

 Powdered caraway seeds, half an ounce. 

 This draught ought to be given as soon as possible, mixed with a pint of warm 

 water or gruel, and it should be followed up with the administration of tonics, 

 which may be given twice or thrice daily. Vegetable tonics are the most suitable. 



AMAUROSIS. 



When amaurosis is the result of loss of blood, any of the draughts mentioned 

 telow under the heading of Anaemia may be given with advantage. 



ANEMIA. 



(i.) Draught — 



Powdered gentian, one and a half ounces. 



Powdered ginger, half an ounce. 



Granulated sulphate of iron, two drachms. 



Powdered nux vomica, forty grains. 



Powdered capsicum, half a drachm. 

 This draught may be given twice daily in a pint of warm water, gruel, or ale, 

 •and it will prove to be an eflficient haematinic and general tonic. If the bowels 

 ;flhould be constipated, a laxative should be given.
