PALSY— .MANGE— (ESTRUM. ($9 
enlarged ; much exudation and soreness. Apply the red cala- 
mine ointment, and continue treatment. 
27th . — No change, except that he is rapidly losing flesh. 
Continue treatment. 
31 st . — Scrotum nearly well. He continues taking the strych- 
nine, which is increased to three quarters of a grain morning and 
night. He has also the castor oil mixture daily. Feeds well, 
but there is a sunken, vacant, idiotic expression of the counte- 
nance that bodes no good. 
Sept. 2d . — He can move his head better, and has a little mo- 
tion in his limb. Continue treatment. 
4th . — He can almost get up. He recognises me for the first 
time. His appetite, which was never much impaired, has quite 
returned. Is this the strychnine, or the seton, or the daily 
aperient mixture? They have all, perhaps, been serviceable, but 
I attribute most to the strychnine ; for I have seldom seen a dog 
recover from such an attack. Continue treatment. 
6th . — Fast recovering. He can now toddle about a few yards. 
As before. 
14/^. — He has been improving, yet slowly. Still continue 
treatment. 
28th . — Going on slowly, but satisfactorily. Remove seton, but 
continue the other treatment. 
Oct . 13th . — Quite well, and sent down to Leicester-square as a 
watch-dog. 
Palsy — Mange — QEstrum — Milk Fever. 
Feb. 11th, 1836 . — Persian Bitch. Well yesterday, now 
staggers as she walks, and has nearly lost the use of her hind 
legs. Give a good dose of the castor-oil mixture. 
13th . — Materially worse ; drags her hind legs after her. I 
would fain put on a charge, but the keeper does not like that her 
beautiful coat should be spoiled, and wishes to try what gentle 
exercise will do. She certainly, after she has been coaxed a 
great deal, will get on her legs and stagger on fifty yards or 
more. Give the castor-oil mixture daily. 
19th . — She is a little stronger, and walks a little better. 
Continue the mixture. Embrocate well with the rheumatic 
mixture (sp. tereb. sp. camph. liq, ammon. et tinct. opii), and 
give gentle exercise. 
March 2d . — She does improve, although slowly; the charge 
is therefore postponed. Continue treatment. 
36th . — She is certainly better. Remove her to the carpenter’s
