PNEUMONIA.

old pacer, with a trial of 2:20, then belonging to S. Railslads, 
of Indianapolis and kept at Centerville; Ind., the temperature 
was up to 104 I gave acetanilid, about three per day for 
a few days, giving digilatis along ; followed up with muriati 
amn, whiskey and glycerine. He was sick twenty days, im¬ 
proved nicely and the driver, John Voss, was to see me Satur¬ 
day, saying he went a mile in 2:29*^, so it left him in good 
shape. 
In three cases of rheumatism I used it in four and five 
dram doses; found it lowered the temperature, and seemed 
to act as an anodyne, and after three or four days the patient 
was better, and able to walk and stand, as they all kept lying 
most of the time. In a number of cases of strangles I used it, 
and in one case of laminitis, when the temperatuie was up to 
104°, I used it with giving aloes and applying a cold applica 
tiou to the feet. Externally I use it by sprinkling on old un¬ 
healthy sores, when the}^ generally improve and do nicely, as 
it seems to form a kind of coating over them. 
In fact I could state many more cases where l used it, and 
think it is a great reducer of temperature, which surely must 
make the patient feel some relief.

Mr. President and Gentlemen :—Pneumonia is an acute 
febrile disease, characterized by inflammatory consolidation 
of some portion of one or both lungs. 
It is true, in a sense, that pneumonia and inflammation of 
the lungs are synonymous terms, but the latter expression by 
no means covers the whole pathology of the disease ; indeed, a 
careful examination of the etiology and clinical features of 
pneumonia would suggest its being placed in our nosology 
amongst such diseases as acute rheumatism, influenza, etc., 
the inflammatory pneumonia in each of these diseases being
