curate record of all the cases which I have treated ; but I would 
like to eall your attention briefly to a few of them. 
Case /.—At ii o’elock, April 29th, I was called to the eoun- 
try to see a grade Durham eow, aged seven years, that had had 
her ealf the evening before. It was a well-marked case of 
apoplexy. She had been lying on her side in a helpless con¬ 
dition for several hours. First, I secured her in a natural po¬ 
sition on her sternum. I found her temperature slightly above 
normal and pulse 82°. I administered potentized belladonna 
and in less than one hour the pulse had dropped to 72°. In¬ 
structions were given to keep the animal in the same position

honis. Returning in the evening, I found the animal in the 
same condition that I left her. I now ehanged to belladonna

head, and had passed faeees. Continued same treatment. Next 
day found her lying in natural position, and able to take food 
and water when offered, but unable to rise. I then changed to

six days, when she got upon her feet. Seeretion of milk re¬ 
turned to normal, and she made a good recovery. I have been 
told by owner that she is due to calf iu March.

noticed in the evening the eow was not well, and in the morn¬ 
ing found her lying on her side in the field. I arrived about 10 
o’eloek, fouud her lying in the hot sun, perfectly helpless and 
covered with flies. A few boards were nailed together, the 
patient rolled on, and hauled to the orchard, and placed on 
straw in the shade. Secured her iu natural position, and gave 
belladonna with direetions to be given three times a day. 
Cloths saturated in iee eold water were applied to her head. A 
blanket was thrown over her baek, and her baek thoroughly 
warmed with a heated smoothing iron. I directed this to be 
done every two hours. On leaving I promised to return the - 
next morning. The next morning, the owner came to my office,
