the jaundice of the dog, recommends repeated bleedings at 
the commencement, manna, sulphate of magnesia, enemas, 
with the addition of starch and laudanum; if diarrhcea is 
present, disacordium, halfadrachm. He insists on hygienic 
means ; panades with the addition of butter, for which broth

“Hurtrel d’Arboval, inspired by the writings of M. U. 
Leblanc, also recommends bleeding at the onset, mucila-
