EFFECTS OF MEDICINE ON HORSES. 
a scruple of the pure barytes, daily. Neither his spirits nor his 
appetite have undergone any visible impairment. 
18/A. — No perceptible alteration. Give the ball twice a-day. 
19/A. — Baryt. pur. 9iss, morning and evening : the ulcerations 
growing very deep and unhealthy. This augmented dose was given 
about 10 o’clock, A.M. At 1 o’clock, P.M. symptoms evincing pain 
in the bowels made their appearance. The animal frequently lay 
down and rolled, and threw himself about, and then broke out into 
a profuse perspiration ; the commotion having come on immedi- 
ately after drinking about a quart of cold water. A draught of a 
pint and a half of common vinegar, to which some laudanum was 
added, gave immediate relief. 
21s/. — My patient being to appearances quite recovered of his 
bowel attack, this morning he resumed his medicine in the dose of 
a scruple. 
22cZ. — Farcy has attacked the near side of the face. It has 
proceeded from the cord of tumefied lymphatics which was ob- 
served and recorded on the 16th. This progress of disease in- 
duces me to venture on the exhibition of the ball thrice a-day. 
25/A. — Dose augmented to gr. xxv, thrice a-day. 
27/A and 28/A. — Gr. xxx, thrice a-day. 
Conceiving that the barytes — although administered as soon as 
made with meal and treacle into ball — must have its medicinal 
virtues more or less diminished, I had it inclosed in paper tubes, 
and thus inserted into the middle of the balls, without any chance, 
prior to administration, of its coming into contact with moisture. 
Oct. 11 /A. — The balls, containing the paper tubes filled with 
the thirty grains of barytes, have been regularly administered 
since last report, and the result to-day is, that great amendment is 
visible. The farcical and corded submaxillary tumefactions have 
disappeared ; and there is evident healing action going on in the 
ulcerations upon the septum. 
18/A. — Ulcerations no longer exist in the nose : they are all 
healed, the cicatrices indicating the places they occupied alone re- 
maining. A farcy bud which had broken upon the side of the face 
has likewise healed up, without having had any dressing whatever. 
For the last three days the ball has been given but once daily. 
26/A. — Since the 19th ult., our stock of pure barytes having on 
that day been exhausted, the horse has been taking the chloride 
of barytes in a state of solution, mixed with his water. He is 
now — has been, in fact, since last report — perfectly recovered. 
Case IX. — Too much flattered by the result of the experiment 
made in Case VIII, and some other fortunate terminations, I com- 
missioned a person to make a purchase for me of the first glandered 
horse he saw in Smithfield market likely to afford me a fair chance
