I abstracted three pounds of blood from the jugular, and recom- 
mended a severe and restricted diet. Every second hour, some 
barley gruel was given, with honey and a small portion of nitre. 
Four emollient injections were also daily administered — gentle 
hand-rubbing was applied — warm clothing was ordered, and a 
little walking exercise if the weather permitted.

the head better carried — the walk more assured, and the appetite

The symptoms of this disease vary but little, except that, some- 
times, the lips and nostrils are tumefied as well as the eyelids, and 
the dejections are somewhat less hard and yellow. Obstinate 
constipation, however, is one of the most common symptoms. 
It is or ought to be seldom fatal, for the indications of disease are 
sufficiently evident at a very early stage.

mortem examination of a filly, to which I was sent for at the very 
close of the disease, and who died before I could arrive at the 
farm. There were traces of very acute inflammation in the intes- 
tines. The mucous membranes were of a deep-red colour, and 
especially in the duodenum. The liver was very much enlarged, 
a little pale, and easily penetrated by the finger. It was easily 
reduced into small granules, as if it had been boiled. I had not 
instruments with me that would enable me to open the cranium.
