46 VETKRINARY HOMCEOPATHY. 



cold water. Should the temperature have risen very high, viz. 106 

 degrees or 107 degrees, and the subsidence after the first fall has 

 proved very gradual, convalescence when attained will be followed 

 by marked weakness and exhaustion; the horse will require building 

 up, to effect which it will be better to administer two doses of 

 SulpJmr jn. for two successive evenings, to be thereafter followed 

 with ten drop doses of C/iinad night and morning, for a week; 

 by this time the powers of assimilation will be restored, and the 

 full benefit from the food will be derivable and experienced. 



BILIOUS FEVER. 



This is much like the last malady affecting more or less the 

 whole system, while at the same time the force of the fever ap- 

 pears to be centered upon the liver; the duct which should conve}' 

 the bile to the intestines is blocked and cannot effect an exit; the 

 bile, as secreted, is then thrown back upon the organ; it passes 

 through the walls of the bile tubes and thence through those of the

Treatment. — Aconitt- 3X in the early stages; Arsenicum 6x

 digested; when the horse drinks a little at a time but very fre-

Bryo?ini TfS.. Pain on pressure over seat of liv^er; seems to ex- 

 perience pain in limbs when moved; lips and tongue 3'ellow, dry 

 and cracked; bowels constipated, faeces dry and hard, as though 

 burnt or .scorched. 



Meracrius Cor; 3X gr v. to a dose; when the yellowness of 

 membranes extends to the skin and is very pronounced; motions 

 colorless, grey or whitish, with considerable straining both before 

 and after relief; breath smells very foul; urine scanty and of brown- 

 ish red color having a foetid smell. 



Eupatoriiun pcrfoliatioii, ix. — The chief characteristic for the 

 selection of this drug in Bilious Fever is the violent bone pains; if
