Ori the 3d of July, through atmospheric change, she was 
on with pneumonia of the left lung; her temperature rapidly 
at up to 105°, pulse 60, and respiration 36. Her appetite, 
1 been good since she entered, now became very poor, 
using everything but a little hay. She was immediately put 
ler quinine, carb. amm. and alcoholic stimulants. Suffering 
tsiderably from thirst, she was allowed a plentiful supply of 
k and eggs, together with oatmeal gruel, which she took with 
tning relish. After some time her temperature gradually 
le down; stimulants and tonics were now prescribed in the 
n of nux vomica, gentian and capsicum, which aided in bring- 
about a complete recovery. During the nearly two weeks of 
sickness, the dressings on the leg were allowed to go a longer 
e than usual without removal; sometimes remaining on as 
j? as three and four days. Still the wound on the flexor ten- 
s was gradually decreasing in size, the fungoid granulations 
ch had given so much trouble being now fully under control, 
edges were nicely cicatrized and the swelling became less 
o 
ry day. A he wound on the front of the leg occasioned con- 
;rable trouble from its excessive sensibility, but became rap- 
better upon the application of chlo. zinc and by loosening 
pressure of the bandage, which were put on less tight as the 
lling went down. 
At length on the 2d of August (the filly had now been here 
ut sixteen weeks) the wound looked so healthy that the sponge 
discontinued and a small pad of oakum substituted in its place, 
ing the time that has elapsed since this change a decided im¬ 
minent is noticed at each dressing. The surfaces of both 
now completely cicatrized. The lameness has entirely disap- 
i*ed, and the swelling almost all gone.

mn out in Harrison county, Ir.d., among the horses. The
