short space, appeared normal, swelling then commenced at a 
well marked line, and extended between the fore legs and over 
the breast.. The lips and nostrils on the right side were slightly 
swollen, with a sero-sanguineous discharge from that nostri . 
Pulse 70, temperature 104, respiration increased about a thir ; 
refused all food and could scarcely be made to move. 
Having read the translation by Mr. Dollar, and the report ° 
Mr Hopkin of Manchester, I decided to try iodine and iodide 
of potassium at hand I gave 3 ii of the tincture and 31 of iodide 
of potassium. Saw the horse again at 7.30 p.m., much the same 
with regard to the swellings. The discharge from the nostril

ing fast, sero-sanguineous discharge from both nostrils and 
mouth very profuse, far worse than it was at first ; the tongue a 1 
very bad colour and thickly spotted. Unable to give medicine 
by the mouth (which had been done up to this date), I diluted 
the tincture with four parts water and injected 3 v into the 
trachea, further diluted 3 ii of tincture and injected into the
