REPORTS OF CASES.

ing 2 5> intervals of rest, but still in pain, lying down for two 
or three minutes at a time, no action of bowels; gave strych¬ 
nine sulp., one-half gr. hypodermically, and repeated in 
the afternoon and again at io o’clock, with no relief. I also 
gave another quart of oil. 
Morning of the 13th, condition worse, again repeated the 
blankets, but had no hopes of a recovery, although I did have 
if I could have opened the bowels. Gave strychnine sulph. 
one-half gr., and at noon gave him strychnine sulph., one 
gr.; eserine, one gr. in two ounces of water under the skin 
of the breast. Fie then got in very severe pain, but in forty- 
five minutes his bowels began to move, and he had eight or 
ten passages before night, but he also continued in severe pain ; 
hot water blankets were again applied all night, and also 
plenty of gruels were given. Next morning he was better, but 
had laminitis, being very sore on all feet. Hair of mane and 
tail was loosened, but under the usual treatment he made a 
good recovery, and was to-day, December 18, dismissed 
with a good appetite and temperature normal, but pulse a 
little accelerated, feet all right, and no more hair falling out. 
In reporting this case I wish to call attention to the strych¬ 
nine and eserine, as I find good benefit from the combination. 
I know it was none of the best to use them in the case re¬ 
ported, but I wanted to move the bowels if possible, as I had 
no hope if I could not do so soon.

By Francis Abele, Quincy, Mass. 
Some time ago I noticed an article in the Review recom¬ 
mending fluid extract of jaborandi for cerebritis. Had used 
it on two cases just before, so was quite interested. 
Number one was a big bay coal wagon horse used singly. 
Understand that when he was stuck, owner sometimes 
struck him over head. Found horse walking about yard 
listlessly, where he had been chased so as not to damage barn. 
Eyes were fixed, he would not back, would not turn, and 
would not lead unless whipped harB. Usually would not
