water pretty freely. No action of the bowels. A small 
quantity of hardened faeces were again removed, and another 
enema thrown up. Ordered the enema to be repeated 
during the night. 
2nd, 8 a.m. Patient better, bowels acting, but not too 
freely. From this time she required little beyond ordinary 
care and nursing, and as such she was enabled to resume 
her work in a few days. She continued to do her -svork 
pretty well up to Saturday night, December 6th. 
December 7th, 5 p.m.—I was again called to see the mare, 
as she had been very unwell all day, and had refused all 
food and water. She was again giving indications of pain 
^ by walking round the box, or occasionally standing with her 
head in the corner, stamping and scraping with her fore feet. 
The pulse was 43, soft in character, and regular in action. 
The breathing was tolerably quiet, and the body and extremi¬ 
ties were of a natural temperature. Gave—
