REPORTS OF CASES. 
mix vomica, si, belladonna, si—all extracts. At 10.30 I 
called again and found her in pain, manifested by pawing ; 
never ^ laid down during the entire sickness, bloated badly) 
pnlse intermittent and quick. Gave nitroglycerine and strych- 
nine hypodermically. Went to the office, got barium chloride, 
S 1; simple syrup, 3 ii ; aquae, ^ 1 ii, and gave it by the mouth with 
a syringe ; also gave injection of glycerine. In about three 
. imnntes glycerine passed, causing flatus, which continued about 
fifteen minutes. In just twenty minutes she showed the effects 
of the barium chloride ; no faeces passed, but flatus continued to 
pass for one and a half hours. She ate nothing for two days 
after, when she ate some oats, drank about two quarts of water, 
the first she had drank since her sickness. She is now feeling 
good, but looks as if she had been driven through a knot-hole. 
I send 3^011 a repoit of this case, it being the second case in 
an experience of 20 years, when I had recovery where severe 
vomition took place and the first case that went through such 
severe sickness without rolling and tumbling continuously, 
ffihey are both remarkable cases. She has now a terrible 
cough, due no doubt to the effectvS of the food vomited. 
I sent you a paper last week on the death of Yataghan, and 
the sickness of my driving mare, and since I wrote you I have 
an addition to make to the case of the mare. 
I fed her Sunday morning, i6th 5 noticed nothing wrong 
with her, went to the barn at 11.30 to feed her, intending to 
give her a little exercise after dinner. I threw her feed fnto 
the manger, which I noticed empty, but she did not offer to 
step up to eat. I looked at her, found her breathing heavily, 
flapping of the nostiils, and the. sound of dropping water on a 
piece of iron ; took her temperature, 10314° ; respirations 60; 
pulse intermittent and 85, ears and legs cold. Upon ausculta¬ 
tion heard harsh grating sound. I turned her into a box stall; 
she laid down on her right side, neck and head stretched out 
in a straight line ; respirations ver}’ quick and distressed, suf¬ 
fering greatly; she laid this way quietl}^, but breathing hur¬ 
riedly, about 10 minutes, till I got her on her feet. I diagnosed 
mechanical broncho-pneumonia ; gave bellad. ext., 3 i; canna¬ 
bis indica, j:, ii, to allay the irritation of the lungs from the food 
passing during vomition ; gave 3i capsule acetanilid, followed 
by bryonia ext., iilx, every half hour (great homoeopathic 
remedy in distressed breathing with flapping of the nostrils). 
After she got the third dose she began to breathe easier ; cough,
