drachm of calomel and six drachms of Barbadoes aloes. 
I then put up a mixture of

and gave one ounce every hour for twenty-four hours, then, on 
the second day, one ounce every three hours. I had two thick 
blankets put on him. All this time he remained standing, but 
I could see he was standing upon three legs, and gradually grow¬ 
ing worse, soon going'down. The.off hind leg was the one 
most affected. I encouraged him to remain down, and made 
every effort to keep him quiet as before. I removed his urine 
in the evening, and gave him one drachm of calomel. Eater 
on he was given one pint of raw linseed oil. He remained down 
nearly all night, occasionally, towards morning, getting partly 
up, and turning, but quiet. In the morning he was found up, 
standing quietly, also purging freely. He was standing mostly 
upon three legs. Liniments and friction were used for two days. 
He went to work on the tenth day, and might have worked even 
earlier. 
Case No. 3.—On February 17, 1896, I was called to see 
this same gray gelding (Case No. 2) again. He was in the upper

home, he became lame, and being unable to return, was taken to 
a near-by stable, to await the coming of the ambulance. 
It was some four hours before he arrived at the stable for 
treatment. I was not on hand, but had left instructions with 
the foreman to see that he received one-half pound of bi-carbon¬ 
ate of soda, in a pint of water, which he did. O11 my arrival I 
removed his urine, which was a very dark chocolate color and 
thick. He was placed in a large roomy stall, containing peat 
moss to a depth of about five inches, which was fresh and dry, 
free from lumps, making a nice soft bed. He was covered over
