freely since she had risen, and dunged once a few soft balls. 
The blister not having taken effect (most of it, probably, having 
been rubbed off again), I had it repeated. 
June \Ath .—This morning she is quite a different animal from 
what she was yesterday at the same hour. She is now perfectly 
tranquil, and apparently free, or nearly so, from jthe violent pains 
she must have been enduring. She is picking about the 
litter with as much indifference as if nothing had been ailing 
her; having already this morning eaten heartily of vetches. 
Her pulse is 60; her skin and legs are comfortably warm, though

legs, which have suffered much from her struggles during their 
confinement by the hobbles. They are all four much sw'ollen, 
hot, and very tender on pressure, and so sore when she moves, as 
to almost compel her to stand motionless in one place: she cannot 
even muster courage enough to bend them, in order that she 
might lie down and take some rest. 
June V7th ,—She suffers more at present from her wounds and 
bruises than from her cephalic disease; in fact, of that she 
appears to be rapidly recovering. Purges still. • 
June \Sth. —To-day she was walked out for half an hour very 
gently. She at first moved with much stiffness and apparent 
inability, and perhaps still more disinclination: after a time.
