Third day.—Animal slightly improved, appears much bet¬ 
ter and livelier 5 oedema about one-half size 5 eating three quarts 
of oats at each meal. Gave injection morning and night. 
Fourth day.—About same as previous day; no perceptible 
change. Gave injection in morning. 
Fifth day.—Animal making good recovery; no oedema* 
petechial spots disappearing ; in fact, had almost disappeared on 
eighth day and reappeared on tenth day, disappearing entirely 
on eighteenth day. Gave injection. 
Sixth day.—Same as preceding day. Gave one-half injec¬

on eighteenth day ; oedema disappeared entirely on sixteenth 
day. Discharged cured on twenty-second day, and on twenty- 
sixth day was put to work.
