pearance similar to that presented by a firing with points. The 
medicine is now given every six hours, but the strychnia has been 
increased to grain doses. 
December 4.—Temperature, 100F; pulse, 48 ; animal is gen¬ 
erally better. Medicine is given every six hours. 
December 5.—Temperature, 101; pulse, 42. The adminis¬ 
tration of coffee is stopped, and mineral tonics, in the form of 
sulphate of iron, combined with grain doses of strychnia, are 
given. The animal now eats from six to eight quarts of oats per 
day. 
December 6.—The temperature and the pulse are normal, 
but the discharge from the nose is still considerable, so that when 
cleaned, large crusts, 2^ inches in length and ^ inch thick, are 
removed from the septum nasi. 
The legs are about the same, but the spots which have been 
showing themselves around the fetlock and on the posterior face 
of the phalanges, show a tendency to run together and slough, 
so the leg is bathed with warm water and a poultice applied to 
them, to hasten the process. 
December 7.—During the night the horse had little colicy 
pains, probaly due to overfeeding, so that spirits are administered 
as required ; alcoholic, mineral, vegetable and nervous tonics are 
given. 
o 
There have been sloughs from both heels, much larger on the 
near than the off; these are dressed with carbolic spray and 
granulation stimulated; the nose is kept clean. 
December 8.—There has been a rise of temperature to 102, 
pulse, 40 ; this may be considered as a result due to the sickness 
of yesterday. It being hard to keep the nose clean, fumigation 
is resorted to as a means of loosening the scabs. The same medic¬ 
inal treatment is kept up until December 12, when drachm doses 
of sulph. iron and iodide of potash and one grain of strychnia 
are given three times a day. 
The surfaces upon the septum nasi are now granulating 
nicely, and are kept down by the application of nitrate of silver 
in the stick. 
The spots upon the hind legs are dressed antiseptically, and 
t' e edges cauterized twice a day.
