01. Olivee, Oj. Ut haustus. 
Continue in use of the clysters as before. 
2 p.m. — Still no better. The abdomen much distended ; 
the pain considerable ; and as yet no action of the bowels. 
Give an enema of tobacco-smoke ; apply hot water by means 
of rugs to the belly, use friction subsequently, and repeat 
the oil, following it with several hornfuls of tepid water. 
4 p.m. — Some relief has been afforded, the pain being less 
intense, and the abdomen not so much swollen ; but the 
bowels have not responded. Throw up 01. Oliv., Oss, in the 
form of an enema ; continue the hot rugs to the body, and 
also the friction. 
8 p.m. — The pain has returned with increased severity ; 
the pulse has become much quicker and irritable ; the belly 
remains tympanitic, and the bowels have not yet acted. 
Repeat the tobacco- enema, and continue friction to the belly 
with the hot rugs. 
Despite all the remedial measures adopted, the animal 
died, in great pain, about 10 o’clock. 
The post-7Yiortem examination showed the stomach and 
intestines to have been much inflamed. They were also dis- 
tended with dry ingesta, and that to a very large amount, 
the stomach containing food weighing nearly 40 lb. The 
principal obstruction to the onward passage of the contents 
of the alimentary canal was produced by a lessening of the 
calibre of the colon. The small intestines were filled with 
air. The rectum was empty.
