before. But 1 found him much better after each attack. I 
now gave him exercise, and could ride him. Mr. Ralston 
having his place filled up, he was sent to a friend’s, where he 
now works regularly, and runs in the dog-cart when required. 
Nothing has since been seen wrong with him. 
The second was a three-year-old filly. My attention was 
called to her at the latter end of August, 1861 ; she was then 
rocking in her walk, and throwing down her feet as if she 
had no feeling in them. The owner informed me she had an 
attack of staggers in the month of February, and had been in 
that state ever since. On asking for a further history of the 
case, I was informed that she was a greedy feeder, and was 
standing in the house during the frost, getting as much as 
she could eat, in order that she might be the more able for 
work in the spring. When seized with staggers, she was 
bled and physicked by a veterinary surgeon, when she fell 
down and lay for some days. The paralysis not leaving her, 
she was turned to grass, but was getting no better. I had 
her brought to my place, and treated her with strychnia as 
the former case, but brought her only once under the poisoning 
effects of the agent. She, however, got eight grains before 
its action became marked. It was then reduced, and again 
gradually increased to ten grains and reduced, but here I 
stopped, as she was very troublesome to give a ball to. She 
was sent home a good deal better, and able to work, but the 
disease not altogether removed. Thus I am of opinion that 
we may have paralysis following derangement of the diges¬ 
tive organs, either from the overloading of the stomach with 
rye grass or any other food, and that we have a useful me¬ 
dicine in strychnia for its treatment.
