6. The eyes have a dull stupid look, and their conjunctival 
membrane is bloodshot. 
7. It is with great difficulty the animal can be kept standing 
upon his feet ; he throws himself down with violence, and rolls 
over and fights with the extremities, almost without inter- 
mission. 
8. The animal occasionally evacuates per anum a dirty 
brown-coloured mass of a semifluid character. 
9. The tongue is soapy-looking, and emits a bad odour. 
To have aconite in aquae Jij every ten minutes. After 
having given the third dose, no improvement; to have veratrum 
aquae ; if no better in a quarter of an hour, the dose to 
be repeated. Shortly after the second dose of veratrum an im- 
provement was visibly manifest: the violence had considerably 
subsided, the purging was better, and the pulse was firmer in its 
character. I left him for a time. About ten o’clock a messen- 
ger came to where I was, to say that during the last quarter of 
an hour the horse had become worse. To again have veratrum 
in aquae §ij. This, however, failed to answer my expec- 
tations. At half past ten matters were much the same ; the 
animal was certainly not so violent, neither was the purging so 
frequent as at first ; but still the horse was not in that state I 
desired. Arsenicum %° aquae Jij. In ten minutes after giving 
the above the violent pains all appeared to cease at once ; for 
nearly an hour afterwards the horse lay perfectly quiet, at the 
end of which time he rose upon his feet, urinated freely, and 
began to look about him for something to eat. I had him freely 
dressed down, the extremities bandaged with woollen bandages, 
and dry rugs thrown over his body ; he was then removed into 
his own stall, bedded with clean straw, fed with a small portion 
of warm mash (after drinking freely of chilled water), and he 
was then left in a very comfortable state for the night. 
9th, 8 o'clock, A.M. — He looks cheerful and well. Pulse 
40, and respirations 10, per minute. He has partaken freely of 
bran mash. He is much bruised in various parts of his body, 
and he is sore when handled, which I attribute to the violent 
bruises he would necessarily receive from kicking and rolling 
about when in pain. To have a dose of arnica J, aquse §ij 
morning and night, for two da}'S. 
In a few days afterwards the animal was put to work, and 
has continued well up to the present date.
