TEMPORARY DEAFNESS AS A SEQUEL TO PHARYNGO- 
LARYNGITIS. 
By Roscjoe R. Bell, D.Y.S., Brooklyn. 
On July 1st I was called to see a horse in a boarding stable 
where I was at the time treating a number of horses affected with 
influenza of a mild type, the chief complication being laryngitis. 
I found that my new patient was a bay mare, used for road

quinine in two drachm doses for three doses, and by morning her

In a week from this time her owner again called me in, stat¬
