LARYNGITIS ACCOMPANIED WITH SCARLATINA. 79 
lently; the blister having acted a little is dressed with calamine 
ointment; repeat ball. 
25^/l—T he kidnies appear to be very much acted upon. 
Omit the digitalis, give white hellebore 9ij, camphor 9i : the 
mare still refusing food she was drenched with gruel twice in the 
day. 
—Pulse very weak ; membrane of the nose of a pale livid 
colour. Give as a drink, gentian pulv. >^ij ; zingib. p. ^i ; spt. 
eth. nit. oiiij with water to make 3viij. She ate a little sainfoin, 
drank a little gruel, &c. 
27tli. —Pulse much as yesterday; lies down more comfort¬ 
ably : eats a little sainfoin hay. She was walked out for a few 
minutes in the middle of the day; appears more lively. 
3 p.m. —Her legs have become very hot; the mouth is hot; 
the Schneiderian membrane has a very singular appearance, being 
covered with scarlet patches, irregularly formed. The hair had 
come off on that part of the neck where the blister had been 
applied, and I could discover similar patches there. I should 
have no hesitation in saying, that the principal, or the whole of 
the body, was covered with similar spots. The upper lip became 
swollen. 
The pulse very much increased, 60. I gave diuretic ball and 
enema. 
2Sth. —The scarlet patches are still existing, but more nu¬ 
merous than yesterday ; the aqueous discharge from the nose is 
very profuse. Give as a drink pulv. digital. aloes Barb. 31. 
Mindererus’s spt. ^i, aqua rue ^^viij. 
29^/i.—Scarlet patches still remaining, though not so nume¬ 
rous ; extremities warm; eats grass with avidity ; still very weak. 
The loss of flesh has been very great during the last three days ; 
she rests freely. 
Dec. 2(1. —Improving very rapidly; feeding well; scarlet 
patches still to be seen, but fewer in number. The cough still 
continues. Gave ball of pulv. digital. ant. tart. 3j, pulv. lini 
and petroleum Barbadense q.s. to form ball, and to be repeated 
every night. 
17///.—The mare continues to improve ; the cough has left 
lier. She has walking exercise every day, and is now quite con¬ 
valescent. 
Jicmarks .—This case may be called Scarlatina,’^ from its 
analogy to that disease in the human subject. I very well recol¬ 
lect one of a similar kind to that to which IMr. W. Percivall 
very properly affixed the name of ** scarlatina,” whilst with my 
excellent friend and preceptor Mr. Youatt. There were numerous 
scarlet patches, with anasarcous swellings, &.c. The patient 
recovered.
