 will be great and rapidly increased weakness. The symptoms are directly 

 opposed to those in colic. 



What to do. — In the first stages of the disease give the following, m. 

 lime water, every hour or two until three or four doses are given : 



No. 98. 20 Drops tincture of aconite, 



>i Ounce laudanum. 



in very severe cases a hypodermic injection of 40 grains of chlorel 

 hydrate, to be at once followed by one of 3 grains of morphia, to be 

 repeated in an hour ; this, however, must be performed by a competent 

 surgeon. The following may be given by the mouth : 



No. 99. 10 Grains morphia, 



1 Ounce chloral hydrate. 



Give in sweetened water, and repeat every two hours until three or 

 four doses are given, or until the symptoms abate. 



Extensive fomentations to the bowels will be beneficial. This may be 

 done by folding a blanket inside a rubber cloth which is fastened over the 

 back. Keep the blanket soaked with water as warm as can be borne. 



If the disease be inflammation of the bowels, or enteritis, whether it 

 does or does not follow an attack of colic, among the symptoms will be 

 stretching of the lips upward. This may however be done when there 



is abdominal irritation of any kind. If the 

 inflammation be severe, so shown by increas- 

 ed heat and fever, an ammoniacal blister may 

 be applied. Dilute strong liquor of ammonia 

 with six times its bulk of cold water, saturate 

 a cloth with it and lay it on several folds of 

 blanket, to be held to the belly by four men

Watch the action of the ammonia. It may blister within ten minutes, 

 or it may take twice that time. Do not allow it to eat the skin, else a 

 bad sore will be the result. When the proper effect is produced remove 

 it at once. It should really be applied only under the direction of a 

 veterinary surgeon. They are, unfortunately, not always near. In this 

 case, to save life, something must be risked. The worst inflammatory 

 symptoms being stayed, give every two hours until three or four dose* 

 are given, or a favorable result is obtained, the following; 



No. 100. 30 Grains calomel, 



1 Ounce laudanum.
