respiration ; full and quick pulse ; cold sweats"; 

 paralytic affection of the hind legs; frequently 

 ending in death. 



When we find the patient attacked with this 

 disase, our first care should be to lower the cir- 

 culation, by taking away two or three quarts of 

 blood, according as the inflammation is more or 

 lefs violent ; and the following medicine may be 

 wen to open the bowels : 



Take Barbadoes aloes in powder, half an 

 ounce ; linseed meal, three drams ; ginger 

 in powder, one scruple; conserve suffi- 

 cient to make the ball. 



Large clj 7 sters of warm water should frequently 

 be thrown up the rectum ; and his loins should be 

 fomented with double flannels, dipped in warm 

 water. No diuretics Or blisters should be used, as 

 they would only tend to stimulate the kidneys,, 

 and increase the disease. Two ounces of gum 

 arabic powdered, and difsolved in two quarts of 

 water, to which may be added half an ounce of 

 tincture of cpium, may be given three or four 

 times a day. His clothing should be warm, and 

 his diet warm mashes of bran. When he begins 

 to make water freely, a little nitre may be mixed 

 with his drink, which will complete the cure.
