If the symptoms are not removed or abated in 

 twenty-four hours, a little more blood may be 

 taken away, and the above method continued. 



DiabeTis. 



WE now come to consider the causes of Diabetis, 

 or a too copious discharge of urine : the principal 

 causes of which are, obstructed perspiration, 

 causing a too great determination of serum to the 

 kidneys, or from too long a course of stimulating 

 diuretics. These cause a relaxation and altera- 

 tion of the tone of action in their vefsels ; it may 

 likewise arise from violent exertion. 



This disease will easily be distinguished from 

 others of the kidneys, by attention to the follow- 

 ing symptoms : The surface of the body cold ; the 

 coat rough ; lofs of appetite ; a constant thirst, 

 the animal often craving for water ; a frequent and 

 copious discharge from the bladder, which is not 

 truly urinous, but of a pale colour, and an insipid 

 or sweetish taste ; his pulse is weak and quick, 

 attended with a gradual wasting of his flesh. If 

 the disease be of long standing, it is very difficult of 

 cure. Warm mashes and clothing will be found 

 of great service ; to which may be joined the fol- 



lowing course of medicines :
