quart of thin gruel ; doses two and three to be given every five 
hours in the same way. The course of the spine to be again freely 
Stimulated, and the limbs to be well hand-rubbed. 
9/A, Eight o'clock , A.M. — During the night the cow had two 
relapses, such as I have described above. This morning, however, 
6he is better; she has dunged twice and urinated twice since I 
saw her last night; she has also made several attempts to rise, 
but without avail : the milk is yielded more freely, and she has 
drunk freely of gruel. To have the following at twelve o’clock : —

Seven o'clock, P.M. — The cow has had one relapse since morn- 
ing ; she is not so well at present ; she grinds her teeth, looks 
anxious and heated; the horns are very hot, and the nose dry; 
she has dunged once since noon, and urinated also; has made 
several attempts to rise, but still unable to do so. Repeat medi- 
cine, and again stimulate the course of the spine. 
1 0/A, Nine o'clock, A.M. — This morning I find my patient 
standing upon her feet and chewing her cud ; she managed to rise 
about five hours ago : at present she is very weak and tottering in 
her hind limbs; the bowels are very gently operated upon. The 
cow to be fed upon boiled oats, bran, and boiled linseed or boiled 
barley, and occasionally a small portion of hay. I saw the animal 
again the day following, when I found her perfectly recovered, save 
from the effect of a little debility.
