Typhoid Pneumonia, fyc. 
August 23, 1843.—WAS requested about five o’clock P.M. to 
attend upon a mare belonging to T. Brook, Esq., of this town. 
History, $c. —The animal is of a brown colour; six years old; 
stands about fifteen hands two inches and a half high; is of the 
coach-horse breed; has been in the possession of her present owner 
about eight months, during which time she has not thriven so 
well. She is far from being a hardy animal; not a mare at all of 
spirit, and, so far as I can learn, never was. For some time past 
she has coughed a little, which cough, from the first, has been 
somewhat short and dry in its character. Some four or five days 
ago she manifested symptoms of catarrh. This afternoon she has 
appeared worse, and I am desired to attend. 
Present Symptoms. —The extremities are warm; the eyes have 
a languid, dull appearance; the Schneiderian membrane is sha¬ 
dowy, i. e. some portions are redder than others ; and a blue tinge 
over the whole, so far as perceptible, is seen; the glands at the 
side of the throat are swollen, and a little difficulty is experienced 
in swallowing food and water. The mouth is far from clean ; the 
pulse is 58, and the respirations are 14 per minute. On applying 
my ear to the chest, on the superior and inferior regions of both 
sides, the respiratory sound, generally, I find is subdued ; I cannot 
detect, however, the least cessation in its course; it simply wants 
elasticity, or greater hollowness of sound. A soft mucous rale is 
present in the bronchial tubes; she coughs now and then, which
