REMEDIES. 853 



Aconite will be serviceable, and may always be given, 

 especially if during an attack the horse falls down and 

 then tries to get up again without succeeding. 



Dose. — Four drops every hour until relieved, after which it may be re- 

 peated at longer intervals, increasing them until the horse is entirely 



cured. 



Belladonna^ if the animal turns quickly round, falls 

 down and continues alternately to struggle and lie quietly. 

 Dose. — The same as directed for Aconite. 



Arnica^ if the disease is supposed to arise from mechan- 

 ical injury. 



Dose. — Six drops every one, two or three hours, according to the sever- 

 ity of the case. 



Opium^ if the animal lies in a stupid state as if dead. 

 Dose. — The same as directed for Arnica. 



The medicine ought to be given two or three times a 

 day, for a week after an attack, to prevent its recurrence, 

 finishing with a dose or two of Sulphur in the same man- 

 ner as directed for the other remedies, only at longer inter- 

 vals. 



TNFLAMMATION OF THE BRAIN. 



REMEDIES. Aconite^ Belladonna^ Yeratrum^ and Opium, 

 Aconite^ in the very commencement of this disease, if 

 the pulse is accelerated, fever, congestion towards the 

 brain, rapid breathing, and trembling of the whole body. 



Dose. — Six drops every twenty minutes until several doses have been 



taken, or the more violent symptoms subdued, after which the next 



remedy should be taken into consideration. 



Belladonna^ if the animal has a wild, staring, fixed look, 

 dashes furiously and unconsciously about, which is indica- 

 tive of violent congestion of the brain.
