 or flour gruel, every two or three hours. (Less often 

 as improvement is shown.) 



Enteritis 



There is no doubt that true enteritis envolving a con- 

 siderable portion of the intestines is invariably fatal, but 

 I am of the opinion that where it exists only in a small 

 localized area that recovery may occur. 



Externally to wrap the entire barrel of the horse up 

 in hot, wet woolen blankets, covered by an impervious 

 dry covering, is of the greatest value; but unfortunately 

 this highly valuable procedure is impossible, or at least 

 impracticable in most cases in veterinary practice, as we 

 usually cannot procure sufficient blankets, enough hot 

 water, and enough help. Furthermore, the unwieldiness 

 of our patient who is so frantic from pain that it is 

 resistant to enormous doses of morphine make this part 

 of the treatment rarely available. 



Where the hot, wet blanket treatment cannot be carried 

 out, apply the following liberally over the patient's abdo- 

 men.
