drachm, rubbed down in water, a quarter of a pint. When the pulse has 
recovered, resume the former physic, only adding half a drachm of bella- 
donna to each dose. Support with gruel. Introduce food gradually ;

oughly damped. 
BRONCHOCELE. 
Symptom —An enlargement on the side of the throat. 
Treatment.—Give the following, night and morning: Iodide of potas- 
sium, half a drachm; liquor potasse, one drachm; distilled water, half a 
pint. Also, rub into the swelling the accompanying ointment: Iodide

BRUISE OF THE SOLE.

Treatment.—Cut away the stained horn, and shoe with leather. 
CALCULI. 
Causes.—Unknown. 
Symptoms of Renal Calculus. — Urine purulent, thick, opaque, 
gritty, or bloody; back roached. Pressure on the loins occasions 
shrinking; the arm in the rectum and the hand carried upward provoke 
alarm. 
Treatment. — Two drachms of hydrochloric acid in every pail of 
water; but the result is dubious. 
Symptoms of Cystic Calculus.—Same states of urine as in renal cal- 
culus. The water, when flowing forth, is suddenly stopped; every emis- 
sion is followed by straining; the back is hollowed; the point of the 
penis is sometimes exposed ; and, when going down hill, the animal often 
pulls up short. 
Treatment of Cystic Calculus.—Examine per rectum. An operation 
for the horse, or Mr. Simmonds’s instrument for the mare, is imperative. 
When the stone is small, hydrochloric acid may be tried. 
Symptoms of Urethral Calculus —Suppression of urine; great suf- 
fering. If the urethral calculus is impacted in the exposed portion of 
the urethra, the passage is distended behind the stoppage. 
Treatment of Urethral Calculus.—Cut down upon and remove the 
substance.
