ning the skull; but the remedy is too desperate to be thought 
of, and seldom or never proves successful. 
PANTAISE, OR PANTERS. 
Symptoms. —This is a complaint which generally attacks 
cattle during the dog-days, and is known by a heaving or 
panting of the flanks, accompanied by alternations of hot 
and cold, or intermittent fever, with trembling fits, and 
seems very analogous to ague in the human being. 
Remedies. —Let the animal be immediately taken into a 
house, and stimulants administered every six or eight hours, 
according to the frequency of the fits; keeping the animal 
warm and clean at the same time. The following recipe 
has been found efficacious :— 
Peruvian bark 
\ ounce, 
Febrifuge antimonial powder 
\ ounce. 
Spirit of hartshorn 
f ounce, 
Camphor, powdered 
1 scruple, 
Mithridate 
\ ounce, 
Warm beer, thickened with a 
little oatmeal 
1 quart. 
When water is given to the animal, it should be warmed, 
and its food should consist of hay. When all the symptoms 
have disappeared, let him be turned out for a short time 
during the middle of the day, until he is well enough to 
stand continual exposure in the open air. 
JAUNDICE, OR YELLOWS. 
Symptoms. —Cattle are very liable to this disease. Its 
seat is in the liver. It prevails in the spring and autumn. 
It is known by yellowness of the eyes and inside of the 
mouth ; a dull and languid aspect, accompanied by debility 
and loss of appetite. It is uniformly attended by costive¬ 
ness, and the animal seems to suffer pain.
