12/A.—Is certainly thinner, and tucked up, but he feeds bet¬ 
ter; and they say that he works willingly. They were entreated 
not to put upon him too much ; and the mash and the ball were 
continued. He got quite well. 
Dec . 3 d, 1833. Inflammation of Mucous Membrane 
of the Bowels. —A cat, belonging* to Mr. B —, has had 
mange very badly for a long while. Removed temporarily by 
the common sulphur ointment, to which an eighth part of blue 
ointment had been added, and half a grain each, daily, of anti- 
monial powder and calomel. 
Mange returning. Ointment and powders sent for. 
The powders had been given only a few days, when violent 
purging came on, with dreadful pains; the animal screaming vio¬ 
lently : mixtr. e. ol. ric. cumsyr. papav. alb. given, but rejected ; 
opium and chalk were then tried, which w 7 ere also rejected. 
The owner came again to me for advice; I recommended that 
the mixture should be followed up, until it staid on the stomach. 
6/A.—The mixture has been given, and the purging is staid ; 
but the animal will not eat. The occasional screams are con¬ 
tinued, but now only when attempting to void urine. Pulv. e. 
pulv, antimonialis %\j, pulv. opii gr. morning and night. In 
about five days the animal was quite well. 
Dec. 4/A, 1832. Rheumatism-Hemorrhoids. —Cries out

very tense. 
Warm bath, and mist, e ol. ricini, syr. rhamni, et papav. 
alb. 
The bowels were freely operated on in the course of the night, 
and the next day the dog was well. 
Dec. 7/A, 1832. Redwater. —A stranger came to me about 
his cow; said she had redwater very badly; heaved; was off 
her feed; her milk diminishing ; and water very red. He had 
bled her, and now wanted a drink—a drying drink, as he called 
it, that w r as to stop the discharge at once. Endeavoured to per¬ 
suade him to have a dose of physic (magnes. sulph.) but could 
with difficulty get him to take it. I afterwards ascertained that 
he did not give it, but went to a chemist, who gave him this 
drying drink , and in less than thirty-six hours she was dead. 
Dec. 9th , 1832. Sanocrack. —A roan horse, belonging to 
Messrs.-, brewers, four months ago, sprung a sandcrack in 
front of the near foot before. It penetrated the quick, and there 
was great lameness. It extended from the coronet two thirds 
of the space down the foot. Pared it well out, liberated the in¬ 
carcerated laminae; applied the back of the hot iron above, and 
the sharp edge below. Introduced a bit of lint at the bottom of
