near this town. 
History, §c. —The animal is of a bay colour, more than half-

arisen from improper treatment. 
Present symptoms. —She is uneasy; paws occasionally with 
the right forefoot; the eye is dim; partial sweats are present 
over various parts of the body, about the shoulders, the left side of

head, then lets it droop; ears warm, extremities moderately so; 
extremities have a fine glossy appearance; occasionally she lies 
down, but does not exhibit great violence when down; intervals 
of calm exist of ten or fifteen minutes’ duration; her tail is con¬ 
tinually moved from side to side; pulse 60, and strong; respira-
