REPORTS OF CASES. 
cloths applied to them. One injection of io oz. saline solution 
intravenous. 
Ten minutes, pulse 70, and fuller; respiration same; eyelids 
opening-; slight riggors; trying to pass urine ; chateber was 
used and about one quart taken away (high color and aromatic); 
hardening of sub-maxillary gland made its appearance, which 
increased to the size of a chicken egg. Animal was turned. 
After twenty minutes another saline injection and general 
faradization of chest and costal region. Pulse, 55 ; respiration, 
9, and steterous ; very much forced inspiration ; expiration short 
and quick ; froths from nostrils, mixed with blood ; paroxisms 
of coughing; tongue hanging out, and inability to swallow, 
being cold and apparently paralyzed. 
Thirty minutes, same ; the current stopped for five minutes, 
then applied again as before. Two hours after rigidity ceased; 
pulse fuller; respiration increased to 10, and easier, extremity 
beginning to get warmer; costal muscles assisted greatly in 
respiration ; afterwards the animal made several attempts to 
raise its head. I remained during the night subjecting the patient 
to several more treatments of farradic current after which he re¬ 
covered towards morning from immediate danger. I left him then 
with a cardiac stimulant, but a severe case of bronchial inflamation 
was the result, from which the animal recovered under the or¬ 
dinary treatment. 
Please notice the enlargement of the subra mapillary glands 
which disappeared the following day. Will some experienced 
practioner offer a cause as to that, as I am in the dark on that 
point ? I may say that since I am using farradic treatment in 
all cases of pulmonary congestion and apparently with marked 
results, as well as in other complications, such as azoturia and 
severe colics, where a break evacuation of the intestines is 
promptly desired. In azoturia farradization over the hard, rigid 
muscles, as well on electrode, placed in the rectum, (which I first 
fill with a saline solution) after which I often get the desired re¬ 
sult in from twenty-five minutes to one hour. Those gentlemen 
who had similar experiences please report them if time will al-
