20th, Ten o'clock , A.M. — Somewhat improved ; pulse 58, and 
respirations 15 per minute : the medicine is operating very gently. 
Throat not so sore ; tumour in the submaxillary space much the

to be exercised two or three times a-day, for fifteen or twenty 
minutes each time. 
29th. — To-day the animal was put to work for the first time since 
the disease commenced. The surface of the skin is nearly free 
from any abnormal appearance ; the scarlet spots upon the nasal
