A BRIEF SUMMARY 
OF THE FOREGOING MATTER, 
ARRANGED IN ALPHABETICAL ORDER. 
Tuts abbreviation is made for the purpose of hasty consultation, when 
the symptoms exhibited by the horse are so urgent as will not allow the 
owner to refer to the body of the book. That, however, he is earnestly 
recommended to do after the first anxiety has subsided; because what 
follows is to be regarded only as notes of cases, and by no means to be 
viewed as a substitute for the more detailed descriptions of diseases and 
their treatment. 
ABSCESS OF THE BRAIN. 
Cause.—Some injury to the head. ; 
Symptoms.—Dullness; refusal to feed; a slight oozing from a trivial 
injury upon the skull; prostration, and the animal, while on the ground, 
continues knocking the head violently against the earth until death 
ensues. 
Treatment.—None of any service. 
ABDOMINAL INJURIES. 
Ruptured Diaphragm generally produces a soft cough; sitting on the 
haunches or leaning on the chest may or may not be present; the coun- 
tenance is haggard. 
Ruptured Spleen answers to the tests described under ‘“ Hemorrhage 
of the Liver.”
