REPORT OF COMMISSION AND SANI1ARY BOARD. 
Sunday 13th. Doing well, the lameness having disappeared. 
Gave ferri sulph, as a tonic in the mash. j

after which he received nothing but tonics for a few days, and

Should I meet with another case I shall inject the solution 
into the trachea for a few times, and also increase the dose by j 
the mouth, with the hope of preventing such a relapse as I had 
in this case.— Ibid.
