IN CERTAIN FORMS OF INTESTINAL DISEASE.

Five o'clock , A.M. — I found both animals very much better, and, 
as they were inclined to eat, I allowed them to have a small quan- 
tity of sloppy mash. The distention of the abdomen had greatly 
subsided, and the breathing had become nearly tranquil. 
Nine o'clock , A.M. — Some soft dung had been passed, which was 
a prelude to an action on the bowels, which soon after came on ; 
but purging did not take place to any considerable extent. One 
animal got well immediately, but the other shewed occasional pain 
for some days, which was treated by light doses of spts. nit. aether, 
and occasional injections, and both did well. 
Although other agents were made use of in this case besides the 
tobacco, yet when I began to use it I conceived that the previous 
remedies had proved inert ; and that if relief had not been obtained, 
and that very quickly, a fatal result must have ensued : I cannot 
therefore attribute the recovery to any other agent than the tobacco 
smoke. 
Tobacco Smoke Enema Apparatus. 
The Tobacco Smoke Enema Apparatus is an instrument about 21 £ inches 
long, consisting of four separate pieces, viz. A, the pipe, which has a screw at 
its end (measuring 11 inches) inserted into a socket B. This wooden 
socket is inserted and rivetted into a copper tube, C ; this latter tube, with 
its screw socket, measures 3 inches long by 1^ inch diameter, and its upper 
part receives the neck of the reservoir, D. This reservoir is also composed 
of copper, and is of a cylindrical shape, and is intended to receive the tobacco : 
it measures 4 inches long by 2% diameter, the neck a being about 1^ inch 
diameter, say rather one-sixteenth of an inch less, being made of sufficient 
size to fit tightly into the tube C. At the commencement of the neck a, and 
at the bottom of the reservoir D, there is a perforated plate of copper, as 
shewn in the drawing, convex to the tube C, resembling the drainer of a coffee- 
biggin.
