VOMICiE SUPERVENING ON INFLAMMATION OF BOWELS. 75 
Twice he coughed, when blood came from his mouth. The 
haemorrhage was not alarming, though, in conjunction with 
the other symptoms, there was enough to be dreaded. 
I had him bled to the amount of six quarts, or until the 
pulse, which was before full and oppressed, had become more 
quickened but diminished in volume. 
The other measures consisted of the exhibition of opium, 
acetate of lead, and frequent small doses of nitrous sether. Cold 
affusion to the head, clothing and bandaging the body and 
limbs were resorted to, and after making him as comfortable 
as we could, we left him for the night. Next morning he 
was better, and I substituted for the other remedies, 
sulphuric acid, very much diluted with water. He partook 
of a little bran mash in the forenoon. 
In the course of the two following days he recovered 
amazingly, and was often visited by M. Charbonelle, the 
veterinary surgeon doing duty with the battery to which the 
horse belonged. He was soon able to travel to his own 
camp, where I had an opportunity of seeing him frequently, 
and no further harm appeared to have arisen from this event, 
than a slightly increased secretion of saliva, caused by the 
first dose of sulphuric acid not having been sufficiently 
diluted. In less than a month after he was embarked for 
France.

By W. D. Bray, V. S., Broughton-in-Furness. 
On the 26th of August, 1856, I was requested to attend a 
bay mare, half bred, about 15J hands high, and eleven years 
of age, belonging to Mr. J. H.Case, miller, of Broughton Mills. 
Upon inquiry I ascertained that she had worked well on 
the previous day, and w r as fed as usual with the other horses 
at night; but that, in the morning, she refused her food, and 
gave indications of abdominal pain, and that the owner, 
thinking she was griped, had given her a pint of gin, and 
abstracted two quarts of blood. 
I saw her at 5 p.m., when I found her standing, but 
evidently in pain. The mouth was particularly hot and dry, 
the conjunctival and Schneiderian membranes were injected ; 
pulse 75, small and wiry ; breathing accelerated, and the 
extremities cold. 
I at once removed about two quarts more of blood, and
