REMEDIES. 353 



Aconite will be serviceable, and may always be given, 

 especially if during an attack the horse falls down and 

 then trios to get up again without succeeding. 



Dose. — Pour drops every hour until relieved, after which it may be re- 

 peated at longer intervals, increasing them until the horse is entirelj 



cured. 



Belladonna, if the animal turns quickly round, falla 

 down and continues alternately to struggle and lie quietly. 

 DosG. — The same as directed for Aconite. 



Arnica, if the disease is supposed to arise from mechan- 

 ical injury. 



DosG. — Six drops every one, two or three hours, according to the sever- 

 ity of the case. 



Opium, if the animal lies in a stupid state as if dead. 

 Dose. — The same as directed for Arnica. 



The medicine ought to be given two or three times a 

 day, for a week after an attack, to prevent its recurrence, 

 finishing with a dose or two of Sulphur in the same man- 

 ner as directed for the other remedies, only at longer inter- 

 vals. 



INFLAMMATION OF THE BRAIN. 



EEMEDIES. Aconite, Belladonna, Veratrum, and Opium. 



Aconite, in the very commencement of this disease, if 

 the pulse is accelerated, fever, congestion towards the 

 brain, rapid breathing, and trembling of the whole body. 



Dose. — Six drops every twenty minutes until several doses have been 



taken, or the more violent symptoms sqbdued, after which the next 



remedy should be taken into consideration. 



Belladonna, if the animal has a wild, staring, fixed look, 

 dashes furiously and unconsciously about, which is indica- 

 tive of violent congestion of the brain.
