29//i. — I saw my patient again. He is quite well, but weak 
from the fatigue of yesterday. This is an unusual effect of so 
small a quantity of opium ; but I attribute the recovery of the 
animal entirely to it. 
A CASE OF INFLAMED LAMINAE. 
By the same . 
August 18 th . — A valuable grey horse, the property of Mr. 
Adams, of the Crown Inn, was driven sixty miles in one day 
by the side of another horse, that was not so free a worker. The 
following morning he presented all the symptoms of inflamed 
laminae. Bleeding at the jugular to a great extent was had re- 
course to, poulticing the feet, and laxative and sedative medicines 
were given. 
19 thy A.M. — No better. He refuses all food, and with diffi- 
culty stands on his fore legs. I now had recourse to opening 
the plexus of veins on the coronet on both sides in both fore 
feet, and allowed them to bleed as long as they would. The blood 
was of an arterial colour. I encouraged the bleeding bv sponging 
the orifices repeatedly with warm water. Poultices, and the me- 
dicine continued as yesterday. P.M., a rapid change, the feet 
cool, and all the distressing symptoms abated. He feeds a little, 
&c. Poulticing continued. 
20 th , — The horse standing firm on his feet ; feeds very well. 
Poulticing continued, and medicine given daily till the 23d, 
when he was discharged cured. 
This was a simple case ; but I record it in order to shew the 
efficacy of copious local bleeding.
