the bleeding. Medicine was now given, and the animal warmly 
clothed. Although he was loose in a capacious airy place, it be¬ 
came necessary to take off the quarter cloth, and have him 
covered with the rug only, in consequence of his breaking out 
again into a profuse sweat. He had twice or thrice passed three 
or four small lumps of dung, thickly coated with lymphy and 
slimy matter; on which account an emollient clyster was admi¬ 
nistered. 
Without going further into the treatment (which in nowise 
differed from that ordinarily adopted), the symptoms which 
at this period attracted particular notice were, that of his resting 
his nose upon the rail inclosing his apartment, thrusting his lips 
violently against it, and sinking his eyes with an expression of 
much internal pain. Occasionally he moved himself round, and 
was seen once or twice to lie down, but he soon arose again : all 
which evidently proceeded from continued acute and harassing 
pain. 
Towards the conclusion of the case a bloody ichorous discharge 
accumulated about the nostrils, and the foregoing symptoms in¬ 
creased, especially the heaving and puffing, the thrusting of his 
muzzle against the railing, and the occasional fits of moving 
about and lying down. At last he lay down and extended him¬ 
self at length, and in that posture lay blowing and groaning from 
pain. He became delirious ; his eyes were dilate and ghastly; 
he made several vain efforts to rise; at length he effected it, and 
once more stood upon his legs. But now his body wavered from 
side to side; in attempting to w r alk he reeled about; and, as 
momentarily was expected by those about him, soon came down 
with a tremendous fall, stretched his limbs out, and expired.

Water (perhaps six or eight quarts, for it was not measured) 
within both thoracic cavities. 
Pleura intensely inflamed; costal portion everywhere most 
minutely and thickly injected with red blood ; pulmonary por¬ 
tion likewise injected, but its surface exhibited a green hue. 
Lungs , tuberculated towards the edges and upon their surfaces; 
but their interior substance was, generally, sound: only, at 
least, rather redder than naturally.
