remained apparently normal. Believing embolism alone could 
explain the symptoms, the patient was given a small dose of aloes 
with dram doses of belladonna repeated twice daily. The affected 
leg was repeatedly rubbed with a strong liniment composed of 
oil of turpentine, solution of ammonia and olive oil, and thickly 
bandaged. The patient was put in slings, but after three or four 
trials was returned to a box stall, for he was continually fretting, 
seemed irritable, off his feed, inclined to throw all his weight on 
his supports, while the leg above cold parts was swelling continu¬ 
ally. This was on the 27th. On the night of the 28th the patient 
lay down, but needed assistance to get up. The leg seemed a 
little warmer than heretofore, and the swelling was lessening. 
From this time on to the present the patient has been steadily 
improving; as the leg became warmer the ability of the patient 
to use it has increased, until now it is nearly recovered. The 
pulse was perceptible for the first time on Jan. 6th, in the digital 
arteries, and, although very feeble at first, is now nearly as strong 
as in the opposite member. That recovery will soon be complete 
does not seem doubtful.

The subject, a heavy draught horse from eighteen to twenty

was found to be lame. The croup was swollen, the swelling be¬ 
ing principally marked at the external angle of the ilium, and 
extending toward the upper part of the flank; it was not painful, 
and showed no signs of inflammation. Nothing else being found,
