REPORTS OP CASES. 
tinued unabated, and at 11 p.m. I gave 1 gr. eserine and 2| grs. 
pilocarpine in one drachm of water; commenced to froth at the 
mouth in ten minutes, flatus was passed in fourteen minutes, and 
very frequently afterward, great trembling of the limbs but no 
perspiration of any consequence ; first evacuation in 27 minutes, 
great pain just before its appearence, and pain at intervals after¬ 
ward for an hour, but only one other passage and I watched him for 
an hour and a half. He then quieted down and I left him for the 
night. The two passages were soft and covered with mucus. Next 
morning I found the floor tramped down hard where he had 
walked in a circle, but no sign of any fseces. For the greater part 
of the day he continued to walk around the corrall with his 
mouth partly filled with hay, or stand at the water trough. I gave 
no more medicine, as his pulse was full and strong and he had no 
extreme pain. At 5 p.m. he had a passage covered with mucus, 
next day he was scouring freely. In this case I think the mor¬ 
phine prevented the full effect of the eserine and pilocarpine. 
Case 5, b. g.—Colic from wheat straw chopped with barley. 
At 3 p.m. gave 5 gr. morphia and an aloes ball. Pain ceased until 
about 1 a.m., when I was called and gave 1 gr. eserine and 1J 
pilocarpine. The salivation was slight, first evacuation in 25 min¬ 
utes, and five more within the hour, the last ones very soft; the 
aloes worked all right the next afternoon. 
Case 6, si. g.—Colic from over-feed of barley. Gave 5 gr. mor¬ 
phia and an aloes ball, some flatulence and I used the trocar : gave 
morphia from time to time to keep down the pain for twenty-six 
hours; there then being no action from the aloes, I gave 1 gr. 
ezerina; first evacuation in 16 minutes, no more for an hour; he 
lay down most of the time; in about an hour he got up and had 
six passages in fifteen minutes and they continued through the 
night, less frequently however. 
Case 7, g. g.—Traumatic tetanus. I had given two ounces of 
aloes per rectum without any effect; gave f gr. eserine; it caused 
a considerable amount of uneasiness for about five hours without 
causing an evacuation of the bowels. 
Case 8, g. g.—Been overfed on chopped barley, hay and grain ; 
sick for several hours before I saw him, and was in great pain.
