The intestinal canal was altogether free from inflammation. 
There was little or no inflammation about the larynx, but the 
tongue was swelled and lacerated in various places towards the 
dorsum, and probably by the animal’s own teeth. The trachea, 
bronchi, and lungs were healthy. The membranes of the brain 
were slightly congested, but nothing followed the knife to what¬ 
ever part of the substance of the brain it was applied. There 
was not any effusion in the lateral ventircles.

VERTIGO — EPl LEPSY. 
1833, Nov, 4th ,—A Stanley Crane. Totters and staggers 
as it walks; and when it stoops to take its food, seems as if it 
would topple over. Give two grains of calomel and one of anti- 
monial powder. 
6th ,—The walk is more staggering, and the bird weaker. Give 
a desert spoonful of the castor oil mixture. 
6th ,—Evidently better ; walks stronger, and picks his food 
more cheerfully Repeat the mixture. 
7th ,—Very much better. Suspend mixture. 
9M.—Begins to stagger a little again. One grain each of 
calomel and antimonial powder. 
\6th ,—The powder vomited and purged him, and he seems 
again well. Give the powder on each of the three next days. 
\6th ,—The medicine has been discontinued, and the bird 
staggers again. Resume the daily exhibition of the powder. 
The powder was continued during a week, and then every second 
day for a fortnight, and the bird once more seemed quite itself. 
1834, Mar, 6th ,—The disease has again appeared under an 
aggravated form ; the bird staggers about a little, and then falls 
and struggles, and has a regular epileptic fit. Give one grain 
each of calomel and antimonial powder daily. 
8th ,—Has had two fits since the last report. Continue the 
powder. 
lOth ,—The fits are daily. Give him two grains of emetic 
tartar, and afterwards continue the powder.
