REPORTS OF OASES.

The animal was placed under treatment again—diuretics, 
stimulants and tonics—the symptoms of oedema disappeared 
tnd the horse was improving. After a few days we were 
lotilied by the owner that the horse became worse again, and 
)n the 5th of May, 1895, he was admitted to the hospital of 
he American Veterinary College. The animal was then ex- 
imined, and her temperature was 102-J, pulse 50, respiration 
14 ; no appetite, but always ready to drink. 
To reduce the fever the animal received 3 ii doses of 
piinine three times a day, but without any apparent effect; 
ve then noticed that she was constipated, and she received 
3 vi of aloes, which acted on her bowels; along with this she 
■eceived stimulants, tonics and anything to encourage her to 
iat, such as grass, green clover, etc., but in vain ; the animal 
•emained in the same dull condition as before. 
Her general condition remained about the same up to 
:he 13th of May inclusive, but on the 14th of May the 
:emperature went up to 103°; the animal was constipated 
Again; she received 3 vii. of aloes, which softened her fasces. 
Mter the action of the aloes had subsided the animal received 
Fowler’s Solution in § ss. doses three times a day, but with¬ 
out avail; the animal did not improve. The lungs were then 
examined, but nothing abnormal could be observed, except 
a slight flatness on percussion on the lower part of the right 
ung, which, however, disappeared again after a few days. 
The anipal stayed in the hospital, under the above treat¬ 
ment, until the 23d of May, and was then sent into the country 
co pasture. 
On the 28th of June the animal came back in an emaci¬ 
ated and weak condition, and was hardly able to walk. On 
examination her temperature was found to be 103-J 0 , pulse 
56, respiration 24; on percussion, flatness on both sides of 
:he lower part of the thorax, and the diagnosis of hydro- 
;horax was made. 
To tone up the system the animal received olei morrhuae 
5 iii twice a day, and 3 ss. doses of digitalis to stimulate 
;he heart. On the 5th of July pulse and respiration became 
Very weak and irregular, the animal refused any kind of food,
