her again ; the owner told me she got up at 3.45 that afternoon. 
Case No. 3.—April 3d. Nearly like No. 1, save the dur¬ 
ation of sickness. Large grade Durham, ten years old. 
Well kept on rich clover hay and corn meal. Pursued the 
same treatment as in Case 1, save that I gave larger doses 
of eserine. Gave five ounce doses of potassa chlorate eight 
hours apart. She got up April 7th, and recovered. 
Case No. 4.—May 16th. Same as No. 1, except that the 
temperature did not rise higher than 103.6.° Same treatment 
pursued. Roused from her stupor 17 hours after treatment 
began. Recovered. 
Case No. 5.—Common native stock; very fat. Had been 
down 22 hours when I was called. Gave unfavorable prog¬ 
nosis. She no longer rested on her breast bone, but was 
stretched out full length upon her side ; complete insensibility. 
Did not administer cathartic as before. Gave hypodermic in¬ 
jection : Pilocarpine, grs. ij; strych. nit., gr.i; digitaline, 
gr. 20* Drugs did not react. Cow died three hours later. 
Case No. 6.—Aug. 12th. 1 consider this a very remark¬ 
able case. A fine grade Jersey, 12 years old. Dropped 
within twenty minutes of calving. I was called twelve hours 
later and found her stretched out upon her side. Tempera¬ 
ture 104.8°; pulse imperceptible; breathing stertorous. Ab¬ 
solutely no peristaltic murmur ; no contractions in bladder. 
Prognosis fatal. Tried the following as an experiment: Antii. 
et potass, tart., 3 ij; pilocarpine sulph., grs. ij; strych. nit., gr. i. 
This I gave hypodermically. Placed straw under her head to 
raise it above the body. Put on ice-water rugs, covered with 
two warm blankets. Returned in four hours, expecting to 
find her dead. Found very little change; slight peristalsis; 
pulse little stronger, temperature, 104.4 0 . Gave same as above 
with the addition of one-fourth grain of aconitine. 
Six hours later found her conscious of her surroundings. 
Resting on her breast bone with feet underneath; would 
notice her calf. Gave her two pounds of magnesia sulph. 
Six hours later her temperature was normal. Bowels 
moved after injections of salt and water. Would eat some, 
but could not rise. Gave quinine sulph., 3 ij; fl. ex. nux 
vomica, 3 i; to be repeated every four hours.
