The horse is now fast convalescing, and all functions are 
normal. Pneumonia of a slight degree developed on Wed¬ 
nesday, and received the additional treatment of a Berns 
Fomentation Jacket. A feature ol some importance was that 
when the fever rose, depression was marked, the appetite 
lost, and when the mercury descended, his ears rose, eyes were 
brighter, appetite better, and every indication present that he 
felt relief. The table above will show the effects of the anti¬ 
pyretic upon the pulse rate, and I will remark that I never 
detected the absence of a single beat, nor was it irregular or 
jerky at anytime; but was especially strong and steady 
during the lpwer ratings of the thermometer. 
In the case of No. 2, whom I had determined to treat 
with quinine, his temperature gradually ascended, his strength 
waned, and his appetite disappeared, until it was evident that 
a different form of treatment must be adopted if his life was 
to be saved. Consequently, at nine o’clock on Wednesday, 
quinine was discontinued, and he was placed under the same 
doses of ac^tanilid and digitalis that No. 1 was receiving, 
with the result that the temperature was lowered, his pulse 
became steadier and stronger, and his appetite and spirits 
showed a decided improvement. This statement cannot be 
credited to the fact that his disease was nearing its termina¬ 
tion, because on Friday, when I sought to discontinue the 
antipyretic, the feyer gradually returned until it reached 106°, 
when the drug was again administered, the patient at this 
time relapsing into a state of lassitude and indisposition to
