CHLOROFORM IN TETANUS. 
19th. —Symptoms as yesterday. The bowels as yet have 
not acted. 
20th. — To-day; he is slightly purged; otherwise no change. 
21st. — Gave Strychnia, gr. ij, et Mass, com., q. s. for a ball. 
This was repeated at night. 
22d. — Increased the strychnia to three grains twice a day. 
23d. — Continued medicine as before. 
24th. — I ventured to have him carefully led out. He

23th. — No change. Augmented the strychnia to four 
grains twice a day.

but when he turned his legs gave way a little. 
28th. — Repeat the medicine.

out to pasture, and in about a week he trotted and galloped

a loaded waggon on the 27th July last, when about two 
miles from home, suddenly fell down twice, but on getting 
up he went on as usual.

brought to my infirmary, the owner suspecting that she was 
choked. At first sight I was convinced that she was la- 
bouring under tetanus. On inquiry, I could not ascertain 
anything satisfactory as regards the history of the case, as 
she had been turned into the lanes, being expected to foal
