Case A. — A high-strung, nervous eight-year-old mare, 
speedy, had shown symptoms of intestinal catarrh for a period 
of two years. Her symptoms were always much aggravated 
after driving, so much so that even with the best of care she 
would remain idle for several days after a long drive. She had 
been bred the year before; but aborted. She received first 
a drench consisting of formaldehyde 3 ss, turpentine § ii, raw 
linseed oil enough to make Oj. After this had operated, she 
received tannopine 3 ss, three times a day, with the feed, for 
one week, when she showed slight improvement; the dose 
was now increased to 3 i for another week, with more decided 
results ; third and fourth weeks, 3 iss, night and morning, and 
she made a complete recovery, gaining in weight while at 
moderate work. 
Case B .—Two setter puppies, io weeks old, developed

panitis, inappetence, and diarrhoeal discharge, profuse and 
mucous in character, and since the last day containing some 
blood. They were at once given oatmeal gruel with whiskey 
and put on tannopine, io grs., made into an electuary with 
some glycerite of starch ; this dose was repeated every three 
hours till four doses had been given, then three times a day. 
Febrile symptoms were somewhat abated by the night of the 
first day’s treatment and entirely absent by next morning. 
They now began to eat and were out of all danger on the third 
day. Treatment was continued for several days as a matter of 
precaution. When seen a week later they appeared well and 
playful. 
Case C .—Gray gelding, io years old, weight about 1700 
pounds. Affected with acute intestinal catarrh, following an 
attack of heat exhaustion. This animal showed the usual
