AZOTISED AND NON-AZOT1SED FOOD. 
When I saw the mare she was low in condition, though she 
possessed a ravenous appetite, eating even the litter from beneath 
her feet. My mode of treatment was as follows:— 
R Aloes Barb. 3 v 
Hyd. chlorid. 3ss 
Zingib. 3 SS 
Mucilag. q. s. 
When I saw her again, I injected into the vagina with the patent 
enema pipe, 
Zinci sulphat. 3 j 
Aquae . Oj 
In the course of three days I administered a ball composed of 
R Ferri sulphat. 3 ij 
Zingib. 3 ss 
Gentian... 3iss 
Pulv. conii . 3iss 
Mass.com. . . 3 iss 
Copaibae . q. s. 
1 left several more balls to be given, one daily, until I next called, 
I continued the same treatment, injecting the zinci sulphas, but 
in greater quantities, during two months. She was at the expira¬ 
tion of that time perfectly well, and so now remains. I continued 
the injection much longer than the administration of any thing 
internally. The discharge, previous to the mare becoming quite 
convalescent, became of a white pellucid colour; then gradually 
disappeared.

Sir,— SHOULD you deem this little essay right in principle, and 
so consider it worthy a place in your Journal, you will please to 
insert it; but if unworthy, cast it aside. What I have asserted is 
the result of practical experiment. Should there be any thing new 
in the results, it may be the means among physiologists of opening
