PATHOLOGY, $3 



But if this complaint is not soon removed , it 

 becomes more violent, and generally terminates 

 in what is called the Mad Staggers. 



This stage of the disease is attended by a wild 

 staring of the eyes ; and when the animal at- 

 tempts to move, he staggers, runs round, and falls 

 down, as if drunk ; delirium then takes place, uU 

 tended with convulsions, and sometimes locked 

 jaw ; most frequently ending in death. 



Before we attempt the cure of the staggers, 

 we must, by a strict and minute examination, en- 

 deavour to find out the cause. For if it proceeds 

 from an increased action of the blood-vefsels ; from 

 change of temperature ; bleeding from a large ori- 

 fice, or, what is better, from both veins of the 

 neck at the same time, to the amount of four or 

 five quarts, will be attended with the greatest ad- 

 vantage ; and one of the following balls may be 

 given immediately : 



Take Barbadoes aloes in powder, ten drams ; 

 calomel, one dram ; ginger in powder, half 

 a dram ; honey sufficient to make the ball. 



The action of the above ball will be much acce- 

 lerated by warm clysters, composed of half an 

 ounce of powdered aloes, to four quarts of water.
