466 INTERMITTENT FEVER IN A MARE, &C. 
inspection of the Professor there could be no danger to the pa- 
tient; and one operation, every step of which was guided and 
directed by the Professor, would be more useful to the student 
than a hundred at the knacker’s yard : but according to the pre¬ 
sent system, nearly all the operations are performed by the 
Assistant-professor and the Demonstrator; and the pupils are per¬ 
mitted only to look on; and, except at the knacker’s, perform not a 
single operation on the living subject during the whole of their resi¬ 
dence at the College. Some alteration is here imperiously required. 
In some future numbers we will enter more fully and methodi¬ 
cally into our subject.

Intermittent Fever in a Mare, afflicted with Chro¬ 
nic Pleuro-Pneumonia, and which terminated 
in Effusion. 
By M. Legard, V . S. 10 th Chasseurs . 
[Journal Pratique, Nov. 1828 .] 
On the 18th of May 1827, at 9 a. m. a chasseur informed me 
that the mare of Captain Eyroux (twelve years old) was violently 
trembling all over. I found her with her head hanging down, 
ears cold, pulse small and slow, shiverings general and strong, 
and particularly so in the hind quarters. Imagining that she 
might have drunk too much cold water, after which I had seen 
similar appearances, I ordered her to be put on mash-diet, to be 
well rubbed, and warmly clothed. 
An hour afterwards I saw her again. She was evidently in a 
state of fever. The pulse was full and quick, and the temperature 
of the body considerably above the natural standard. 
At noon she was apparently well, and so continued until the 
following morning at 9, when the shiverings returned as violently 
as the preceding day. I ordered her to be well rubbed, and 
warmly clothed; but the symptoms of fever succeeded as before, 
and lasted about half an hour. I took away 4|lb. of blood. A 
little chaff alone was given to her, and water whitened with 
barley-meal, and to which was added a small quantity of nitre.
