ON THE PRESENT INFLUENZA AMONG HORSES. 341 
18th. — Dung in a solid form. 
21st . — Pulse 42. Daily mending. 
26th. — Convalescent. Walks out. 
Case III. — This three-year-old mare was attacked on the 11th 
April, at eight o’clock, p.m. Her symptoms were dejection, im- 
paired appetite, feverishness, sore throat and cough, reddened 
mucous membranes, &c., as in the other cases. Give her an 
aperient immediately, and at one o’clock a hot bran mash, and 
hang up in her box a pailful of chilled water. 
12th. — More fever. V.S. ad lb. viij, liniment, ammon. cum 
terebinth, to her throat. 
13th. — Some dulness on percussion of her chest, and indis- 
tinctness of the respiratory murmur. Rub her sides with the 
liniment, and put a rowel in her breast. 
1 4iih. — Quite cast down in spirits; pulse 72; standing with 
her head towards the window ; rowel not rising. Commence 
the mercurial treatment. Sumat calomel 3 j cum opii gr. v, ter die. 
1 5th . — No worse ; seems, if any thing, a little livelier. Con- 
tinue the ball morning and evening only; and dress her rowel. 
1 6th . — Has become again extremely dejected and gloomy, 
and eats little or nothing ; coughs occasionally ; rowel inactive ; 
dung in light-coloured balls. Continue the medicine morning 
and evening, rub her breast and sides and throat with the lini- 
ment, and dress her rowel. 
18^/i. — Better again, though still dull. The easterly wind, 
which this morning blows very cold, seems to have affected her, 
in common with others. The opium has rather confined her 
bowels, therefore give her an enema ; and, as she seems doing 
well, omit the medicine altogether. The enema brought away a 
great deal of excrement. 
20th. — No effect has been produced by the mercury, either on 
the mouth or breath. The discharge of urine has, however, been 
augmented, and to-day she passed dung in a mass. 
22 d . — Pulse 48. Proceeding favourably. 
26th. — All the early part of yesterday she appeared costive in 
her body : last night a diarrhoea came on. It is not of a cha- 
racter this morning to require medicine. Let her have nothing 
but gruel for drink, and only hay to eat. 
27tli . — Her diarrhoea ceased yesterday, and has not returned. 
30/A. — Convalescent ; walks out daily. 
Lest it should be said, after the perusal of these three cases, that 
they do not appear to have been of a dangerous character, or to have 
required any thing out of the ordinary line of treatment, I beg to
