SUPPURATIVE LARYNGITIS. 
panied with slight uneasiness. No faeces passed from her 
until the third day after admission, when the bowels were 
relieved and acted copiously ; but singular to remark, at this 
time her pulse was 84 and soft, and the membranes pallid ; 
and this state, both of pulse and membranes, continued pre- 
sent at the time she was discharged, on the 7th of January, 
apparently convalescent. A remark was made to the owner 
respecting the pulse, when he replied he would watch her 
narrowly, and he has since told me that he did not find her 
to fail in her appetite or spirits till the day previous to his 
riding her down for the last time. 
SUPPURATIVE LARYNGITIS WITH METASTATIC 
ABSCESSES IN THE HORSE.

WITH OBSERVATIONS, 
By John Gamgee, M.R.C.V.S., Lecturer on Veterinary 
Science, London. 
A bay gelding, rising six years old, the property of Mr. 
C— , a large horse-dealer; had been bought at York fair 
(which took place a short time before Christmas last). He 
was brought up to London for sale, and from his arrival in 
town to the 22d of January, the day I was requested to look 
at him, he had never appeared well ; being extremely dull, 
and for the last fortnight had a discharge from the nostrils. 
A mild dose of physic had been exhibited about a w r eek be- 
fore, the action of which continued for three days, and weak- 
ened the horse excessively. I found him in this feeble con- 
dition, with cold extremities, foul mouth, the epithelium 
desquamating in patches off the mucous membrane, which is 
pallid, and dirty looking; the pulse weak, and 40 in the 
minute ; the respiration rather laboured, but not much ac- 
celerated, and the bowels gently open. 
I had bandages put on the legs, and gave him a draught 
composed of : 
R> Spt. AStlier. Nitrici, ^iss ; 
Pulv. Gentian®, 
Eerri Sulphat., aa ^ij- 
A mustard poultice was applied to the throat, chest, and 
brisket, and the like dose of medicine was repeated in the 
evening.
