forty miles. While coming home the last journey, she fell upon 
the road, and was dragged to a stable some little way off: a far¬ 
rier attended and gave her a gripe drink ; and on the following 
day, at five o’clock in the morning, I saw her. I then ordered 
her to be brought to my infirmary, and adopted the following 
treatment: — 
July lOM.—V. S. ibxiv, and give twice in the day pulv. 
opii jij, and creta p.p. in a pint of infusion of linseed. Em¬ 
brocate the belly well with oil of turpentine. 
11^^.—Pulse 97 : repeat the drinks. 
12th. —Pulse 120. V. S. Ifeij. : repeat the drinks. 
ISth. —Pulse small and thready; she was back-raked ; but the 
faecal mucous discharge could not be stopped, and I gave up all 
hopes of her life. 
11th. —Having occasion to go to the Veterinary College, I 
mentioned the circumstance to Mr. Morton, who wished me to 
administer catechu; and accordingly I gave, twice in the day, as 
before, pulv. catechu Jss, pulv. opii 3ij, dissolved in a pint of 
water. 
l^th. —Much improved. Pulse 90 : repeat the drinks. From 
the 16th to the 22d, she improved daily; and the pulse re¬ 
gained its healthy tone and number. 
2‘^d .—She ate a feed of corn, and two days afterwards went 
to her own stable. Six weeks after this she was sold for £23 at 
Mr. Alexander’s repository. 
[Most of our readers know full well that when astringents are 
admissible there can be no more effectual one than a combination 
of chalk, opium, catechu, and a little ginger. In our practice 
they supersede every thing else.— Edit.]

By Mr, H. Hutchinson, East Retford, 
Oct, 12, 1835.—I WAS requested to see a grey horse, five 
years old, the property of John Manwaring, Esq., of this town. 
He had for the last fortnight been affected with a violent cough
