CASE XIII. 
November , 1820.—Bay gelding, eight years old, in good con

I made two or three trials more with the baryt. pur. m tD 
years 1821 and 22, but they were unsuccessful. I have, sti

solut. mur. baryt., mixed with the horse’s water, is the best Ion 
in which I have administered it: about 3ij of the solution, <
