238 CONTRIBUTIONS TO VETERINARY PATHOLOGY. 
The pulse is still an average one, the breathing tranquil, ex¬ 
tremities warm, but his coat is still staring. 
He has a cloth put on him, and woollen bandages are put on 
his legs : 3 ij of aloes Barb, are added to the cough medicine. 
14 th and 1 5th .—Much in the same state. The cough me¬ 
dicine repeated without the aloes, as he purges moderately. 
His breath is become offensive. 
16th, Ten o'clock .—I find him in a sad state. The skin and 
extremities being intensely cold; the pulse small, quick, and 
scarcely to be counted at the jaw ; the respiration so active, that 
I cannot describe it better than by saying that he is “ blowing 
hardand there is much distress and suffering depicted in his 
countenance : the breath also is very foetid. I caused him to 
be removed to a cool box, and had the following medicine 
administered:— 
R Spt. aether, nit. Jij 
Pulv. opii 
Antim. pot. tart.aa 3j 
Nitratis potassae. 3ij 
Aquae . Oj. 
M. fiat haust. 
Additional clothing was placed upon him; the legs stimulated 
with lin. tereb., and his breast extensively blistered. 
One O’CLOCK.— Respiration much relieved. Extremities 
very cold. The draught is repeated, and the legs and chest 
again stimulated. 
Five O’CLOCK.— The unfavourable symptoms greatly abated; 
pulse 60, and recovering its tone; legs warm; but breath still 
very offensive. Haust. repeated. Later in the evening I found 
him still better. 
llth .—I do not like him so well this morning, although the 
respiration is tranquil. His extremities are intensely cold; 
his cough frequent, but suppressed ; he keeps constantly pawing 
with his fore foot, sometimes with one, sometimes with the other; 
lying down and rising frequently. He refuses all food, but 
drinks freely of gruel. The following ball is given every six 
hours:— 
R Hyd. chlor.

To form a ball. 
From this time to the 23d there was little difference in the 
state of my patient. He has eaten nothing, but drinks his gruel 
freely; his legs being warm and cold alternately during this 
period. This morning I find him with his lower jaw resting on 
the manger, suffering dreadfully from nausea and emesis, pre¬ 
senting a similar appearance to that produced by a large dose 
of hellebore : frothing at the mouth copiously, and passing the
