Brain Diseases — .Phrenitis. — Or inflammation is the 

 same as mad staggers in the horse, and is due to over- 

 feeding and distention of the stomach, by long wet grass 

 or clover, and in rare instances it is caused by the de- 

 posit of wax-like matter within the ear, and communi- 

 cating with the brain. 



Symptoms. — First, the animal is dull during congestion ; 

 this is succeeded by quickened breathing, excitement and 

 delirium, the eyes are blood shot. 



The animal is the picture of disease and suffering, and 

 if not soon relieved, falls and remains in a state of 

 stupor, from which it never comes out of. 



Treatment. — In the early stages of this disease, much 

 can be done by an active cathartic or purge, composed of 

 one pound of epsom salts, and one pound of table salt, 

 dissolved in four quarts of cold water, and sweetened 

 with molasses. Apply ice or ice water to the fore head, 

 and warm water bandages to the legs, and tightly clothe 

 the body. Inflammation of the brain is often seen in 

 the fatal form of milk fever in cows.
