Case II.— Paralysis. 
A bay carting mare, 10 years old, of full habit, the pro¬ 
perty of Mr. Wm. Walker, Ranskill; a great, strong, useful 
animal; had been in his possession for the last six years, 
and had never experienced any serious illness, only being 
subject to swelled legs when not in constant work. She 
was attacked about 2, p.m., when in the waggon laden with 
hay. She began to show lameness first in her near fore 
leg; then, in a short time, in the corresponding hind limb; 
she then commenced cc staggering/’ in the language of the 
attendant, who tried to get her home, ct like a drunken 
man.” The distance being great, however, he found this 
would be impossible to accomplish; so he with great.diffi¬ 
culty got her back into the field. Here she propped her¬ 
self up, and stood for a few hours; but they could not get 
her to shift her position ; and when she did move she fell 
on her left side, where she lay until the following morning, 
which was Sunday, when I was requested to attend, I found 
similar symptoms to what I observed in the former case, with 
the exception of incontinence of urine. She was lying upon 
her left side ; pulse 45 ; mucous membrane slightly injected ; 
dung and urine voided naturally; appetite good; V. S. ad 
cong.j; gave Aloes Barb. 3viij, 01. Crot. iqxxx; stimulated 
with mustard and ammonia. The distance being nearly three 
miles from Lound, and a very bad road and no help, I had 
her well packed up with hay on the spot: we did not attempt 
to get her home. Next day I found her much worse ; pulse 
70; refuses all food; but raises her head when water is 
brought near her; struggles very much, causing contusions 
and tumours, and abrasions of the skin in several parts of 
the body. I considered the case hopeless, the distance being 
so great from my residence, as well as from any house where 
warm water, &c., could be procured; and also on account of 
her own attendants, being very busy with their hay, not able 
to pay proper attention to her: taking all things into con¬ 
sideration, I recommended her to be destroyed, which the 
owner complied with.
