78 VETERINARY 



Take Barbadoes aloes, one ounce and a half , 

 ginger in powder, one ounce ; soft soap, 

 sufficient to form the mafs: divide into six 

 balls. 



One to be given every morning, until tbey 

 gently purge. 



The smptoms of acute inflammation of the 

 liver are, difficulty of breathing ; the mucus of the 

 mouth very foetid ; swelling of the belly ; costive- 

 nefs ; violent pain ; staggering, on being put in 

 motion ; and fometimes palsy of the under jaw ; 

 convulsions ; the eyes drawn into the head ; end- 

 ing in death. 



Experience has shown, that, in this case, 

 bleeding is attended with evident bad effects, and 

 that we can only rely on small dozes of calomel, 

 about half a dram, with the same quantity of anti- 

 menial powder, and half an ounce of cream of 

 tartar, frequently given, until gentle purging takes 

 place: and we can safely pronounce the case fa- 

 vourable, if the patient is not destroyed befoj 

 medicines begin to operate.
