in a ball; and left another to be given in the evening. 
26th.—Animal a little better. He partakes of a little 
of the mash_, and drinks a good deal of gruel; pulse 65. 
Medicine repeated. 
27th.—Patient still improving; pulse 54; he is also 
able to move about his box, and the extremities are less 
swollen. 
28th, 5 p.m.—On my arrival this afternoon the owner 
told me that he thought his horse was dying. I could hear 
him breathing about twenty yards from his box. He also 
told me that the breathing first became accelerated on the 
night of the 27th, and it continued to get worse up to 
the time I saw him, on the 28th, when I found him standing 
with his head stretched out, and his fore legs placed wide 
apart. The breathing w^as ’most painful to hear; the head, 
throat, lips, and tongue, were very much swollen, and the 
thighs were so much enlarged that I could with difficulty 
pass my hands between them. There was likewise a quantity 
of serum oozing through the skin, and bloody mucus trick¬ 
ling from the nostrils. I tried to administer a ball, but he 
was unable to swallow it. I therefore had him blistered 
from the throat to the sternum, and on each side of the chest, 
with liquid blister; pulse 100. 
29th, 9 a-iu-—On my arrival I found the horse down; 
his legs stretched out; pulse so feeble that I could not take 
it; ears and extremities deathly cold; but the breathing was 
a little easier. Although I had no hope of his recovery, yet 
I was very unwilling to give him up, so I raised his head, 
and administered the following draught: 
^ Ether. Sulphuric., 
01. Tereb., aa 3 iij. 
When I had given him about the half of it he tried to get 
up, but in vain. 1 gave him the other half, and he got up 
with a little assistance. I ordered him to have anything he 
could eat or drink. 
30th, 2 p.m. — Pulse 80. He seems to be a little 
better; the breathing is not so laborious, and he eats a few 
dry oats and drinks a good deal of water; much serum 
escapes by the skin. I again administered half of the above- 
named draught, and ordered the legs to be well hand-rubbed, 
and the bandages replaced. 
December 1st.—The pulse has fallen to 6O; the swellings
