him into his own habitation, where he might be a little more 
manageable, but we rightly anticipated the struggle which fol- 
lowed. The friction of his belly was continued, and, as he rolled, 
hot water was poured upon it ; and, taking advantage of oue of 
his rolls, we poured about ten ounces of castor oil and an ounce 
and a half of laudanum down his throat. We then well rubbed 
in spirits of turpentine over the whole of his belly. He began 
to be easier, and ate two or three small carrots that were offered 
to him. We took advantage of this, and concealed twenty-six 
grains of calomel in a carrot, which he ate. 
About four o’clock he began again to roll as much as ever. At 
all hazards no time was now to be lost. We put a strong collar 
round his neck, and hampered him with ropes on each side, 
and forced three pints of castor oil and half a pint of laudanum 
upon him. He was exhausted in the struggle, for a violent one 
it was, and he lay for a while motionless. His pains, however, 
soon began to return, but with diminished force, and after some 
time they abated. Injections of warm water w ith castor oil were 
administered, to which he sulkily submitted. About eleven 
o’clock he drunk a gallon of warm water, and became compa- 
ratively easy. He slept fairly, but his slumbers seemed to be 
disturbed by slight twinges. 
15///, 6, a.m. — He has not been seriously in pain during the 
whole of the night, and he is now stretched at his length. After 
rousing him he ate a few carrots, and searched about for more — 
after all, however, he ate but a few. I ordered a warm bran 
mash to be made for him, into which a few carrots were to be 
shred, and he w T as not to be farther disturbed until ten o’clock, 
when all hands were to be mustered. 
10, a.m. — There has not been any evacuation, but he is easy; 
takes a few carrots, and picks some of his straw. I was very 
unwilling to hamper and fight with him, in order to get down 
more castor oil, and probably to disgust him, and therefore 1 hol- 
lowed out a carrot, and put in it fifteen grains of calomel and 
two of opium. He took it, and, although he did not like the 
taste of drugged carrot, he fairly ate it. He was then roused, 
and turned out into the paddock. We should by this ascertain 
his strength, and the puddling about the paddock might induce 
an evacuation. He at once set himself to work to nibble grass, 
and so employed himself for an hour, although, after all, he could 
not obtain more than a few mouthfuls, for the paddock was quite 
bare. I desired that he might be kept out as long as he moved 
about, and seemed to be comfortable, but to be returned to his 
house as soon as he became leg-weary. In another half hour he 
began to look about for a place to lie down upon ; he was taken
