Treatment — In this case is very unsatisfactory. In very 

 many instances more good has been done by giving no medi- 

 cine whatever, but simply keeping the creature in a cool, 

 airy, darkeneti loose box-stall, and allowing no noise. Lock- 

 ing the stable and putting the key in one's pocket for two 

 days has been tried ; the perfect repose has done more good 

 than medicine to restore the nervous system to a healthy 

 state. 



Besides this plan the following remedies have been applied 

 after clothmg and bandaging the legs : 



Extract of belladonna - - Four drachms. 

 Chloroform - - - - One ounce. 



This may be given in water every three hours (if it is 

 e to open the jaws).
