EPIZOOTIC OATABEH. 229 



Toxicodendron. Give the former in 2-drachin doses, the latter in 

 like quantities. Administer them ia turns about three or four 

 times a day. 



Camphor. — Aromatic Ammonia. — In numerous cases of this 

 disease the heart is iuYolved. This may be known by the irri- 

 table state of the pulse, and the pecuUar feverish condition of 

 the animal. Camphor is ia valuable m such cases. If the patient 

 be of the large, heavy, draught breed, give the remedy in 

 drachm doses, and repeat it twice or three times a day. Give 

 it in powder, mixed with flour, as directed at page 146. For 

 small-sized, light-bred horses, half a drachm will suffice ; or, at 

 the most, 2 drachms may be divided iuto three doses. 



The Aromatic Ammonia may be regarded as one of the 

 indispensible remedies. Sometimes it is necessary to administer 

 it at the very onset of the disease. If the patient be aged, and 

 the life powers feeble — if a soft cough be present, attended 

 with soreness of the chest, its use is especially called for. Give 

 it in ounce doses, mixed with 6 or 8 ounces of water. It may 

 either be given alone, or in alternation vrith Camphor. The 

 necessity for repeatiug the drug will depend upon the vital 

 state of the patient ; its action is that of diffusible stimulant, 

 and as such I strongly recommend it — not only ia Epizootic 

 Catarrh, but in most other diseases of a low typhoid nature. 



Arsenictim.— Timet. Ihrri Miirias. — These remedies are valu- 

 able when the patient is convalescent — especially when debility 

 is present, and the appetite is indifferent, and accompanied with 

 sweLing of the extremeties. Give the Arsenicum and the 

 Perri Murias in alternation, twice or three times a day. The 

 former to be administered ia 2-drachm doses of the 2rd dilution . 

 the latter, also, in 2-drachm doses, mixed with 6 or 8 ounces of 

 water. It may be necessary to continue these remedies four 

 or five days in succession.
