REPORTS OF CASES. 
no sweating or looking at his sides. He would stand thus 
for about ten or fifteen minutes and then turn quickly around 
several times and rub his rump vigorously against the wall. 
This was done by turns for at least two hours. Then he took 
a notion occasionally to lie down and roll completely over 
very quickly, get up, shake himself, and then appear much 
better for a few minutes. 
This horse was naturally very restless and often vicious. 
I could scarcely approach him, much less handle him, be¬ 
cause of his disposition to bite and kick. Twitching made 
him worse. In order to give him rectal injections he was put 
in a very narrow stall and a gate placed behind him, and a 
pole on his side. Could not drench him, and in an attempt 
to examine his scrotum I hurt my arm severely against the 
pole. If I had to do it over again, I would throw him and 
then examine. At intervals I gave him hypodermics of small 
doses of morphine and soap-suds injections containing some 
sulphuric ether. Several times he was exercised at end of a 
pole. He did not lie down more than four times altogether, 
neither do I recollect of his looking around at his sides until 
death was upon him. He passed manure several times in 
normal quantities, and urinated very frequently in very small 
amounts and in strong spurts. 
At 2 A.M. i Examined him per rectum, very unsatisfactorily 
on account of his restlessness. After midnight he began to 
sweat in the flanks, and got very restless, and once in a while 
kicking with one foot. Still he had intermissions of ease, 
and, what I especially wish to record, he never sat on his 
haunches, or looked at his sides until a few minutes before he 
died. 
I was sure of some structural change, but had no definite 
idea as to what it was save that it was urino-genital in charac¬ 
ter. One testicle appeared slightly larger than normal. I 
managed to get hold of it but discovered nothing wrong. I 
admit my examination was at fault, but I did the best I 
could under the circumstances. When attempting to do 
anything for him he would act with the violence of a case of 
phrenitis.
