Case No. 2. Gray Draft Mare , Nine Years Old , Heavy in Foal. 
April 5.- — 5 p. m., three miles in country ; found large gray 
mare standing in narrow stall, so stiff she could not move over 
without causing great excitement; eyes retracted, froth around 
lips and grinding teeth ; could not open front teeth half an 
inch ; pulse 72. Owner said he had removed nail from left 
hind foot four weeks before, and the foot had broken at the 
heel; then he thought she would be all right, but four days be¬ 
fore he called me he noticed she did not eat very well, and her 
eyes looked bad, and she had been getting worse, until she could 
not eat anything. He thought it time to call somebody and 
find out what the trouble was. I gave her 25 c.c. antitoxin ; 
left hyposulphite of soda, potassium iodide, solid extract of bel¬ 
ladonna and solution iodine to use in foot, which had to be in¬ 
jected in at opening in heel with a syringe, as we could not 
raise her foot off the floor. April 6. — 9 a. m., pulse 50, no 
grinding of teeth nor froth around lips ; owner said she drank a

would not give any more antitoxin, but had him continue hypo¬ 
sulphite of soda and half teaspoonful doses of pot. nit. once a 
day, as mare was swelled considerably in abdomen and hind 
legs. Apr. 20. —10 A. M., owner called and said the mare
