WM. R. HOWE. 
On May 9th, at about 6 p. m., I was called to see a gray geld¬ 
ing five years old. Found pulse 71, respiration 24, temperature 
106^°. Limbs and ears cold, bowels had just moved and were 
about normal. 
On ausculation I could hear but slight tubular breathing in left 
lung, the right lung being natural. The horse was in very little 
pain. Diagnosis: Pneumonia.

From this date I only saw the horse once a day. He contin¬ 
ued to improve slowly, temperature falling gradually'to 101£ Q on 
May 22d. 
The extremeties were not cold after the first day ; bowels and 
kidneys, although slightly dormant, never were badly deranged. 
The horse never lost his appetite completely; ate a little grass 
and bran'mash at every meal. 
Treatment consisted of the administration of quina sulph. 3 
ij. in alcohol every 6 hours, and potassa nitrate in drinking water. 
Kept up the quinia every 6 hours until the temperature began to 
fall, then only gave it twice a day in same dose, continuing alcO’ 
hoi 4 times a day.
