as before.

and a return to plain diet.

AN ATTACK OF INDIGESTION FOLLOWED BY 
LAMINITIS. 
By Henry Corby, M.B.C.V.S., Andover. 
On the evening of Thursday, May 3d, I was requested 
to attend a four years old cart colt, stated to be off his feed, 
and shivering considerably. On my arrival the shivering 
had passed off ; the animal was resting his head upon the 
manger, and his hind feet were placed under the body, as 
in an attack of laminitis, and the fore feet were advanced and 
abducted. The pulse numbered 72 in the minute, but was 
feeble; the conjunctival and Schneiderian membranes were 
injected; the mouth hot; the submaxillary glands swollen ; 
a mucous discharge from the eyes ; the respiration but little 
altered so long as the patient was undisturbed ; patches of per- 
spiration existed about the body, and the extremities were warm. 
On elevating or depressing the head, the animal had great diffi- 
culty in maintaining the standing position ; and it was also 
with difficulty that he could be induced to move. Considerable 
pain was evinced on the application of pressure to the lower 
part of the chest, on either side ; partial constipation of the 
bowels was present, and the faeces passed were of an offensive 
odour. On inquiry, 1 learned that he had gone through his 
work as usual in the day, but refused food in the evening, 
and appeared to be in pain, in consequence of which an 
antispasmodic draught was administered. Barley had been 
given in the morning, instead of oats. I gave Ext. Belladon. 
et Camphorae, aa 3 j, in ball, and left instructions for the 
horse to be watched during the night. On the 4th, the 
pulse had sunk to 64, and his appetite had partially returned,
