nt entirely upon the complications. If the
lungs have been affected, we find effusions identical in their intimate
nature with those of simple pneumonia, but they differ somewhat in their
general appearance in not being so circumscribed in their area of
invasion. The alterations of meningitis and laminitis are identical with
those of sporadic cases of founder and inflammation of the brain.

_Treatment._--While the appetite remains the patient should have a
moderate quantity of sound hay, good oats, and bran; or even a little
fresh clover, if obtainable, can be given in small quantities. It is not
so important that a special diet shall be observed as that the horse
shall eat a moderate quantity of nourishing feed, and he may be tempted
with any feed of good quality that he relishes. He should be placed in a
well-ventilated box stall away from other horses. Grass, roots, apples,
and milk may be offered and, if relished, allowed freely. To reduce the
temperature the safest simple plan is to inject large quantities of cold
water into the rectum. Antipyrene may be used with alcohol or strychnia.
Derivatives in the form of essential oils and mustard poultices, baths
of alcohol, turpentine, and hot water, after which the animal must be
immediately dried and blanketed, serve to waken the animal from the
stupor and relieve the congestion of the internal organs. This treatment
is especially indicated when complication by congestion of the lungs,
intestines, or of the brain is threatened. Quinin and salicylic acid in
1-dram doses will lower the temperature, but too continuous use of the
former in some cases increases the depression. Iodid of potash reduces
the excessive nutrition of the congested organs and thereby reduces the
temperature; again, this drug in moderate quantities is a stimulant to
the digestive tract and acts as a diuretic, causing the elimination of
waste matter by the kidneys. Small doses of Glauber's salt and
bicarbonate of soda, used from the outset, stimulate the digestive tract
and prevent constipation and its evil results.

In cases of severe depression and weakness of the heart digitalis can be
used with advantage. At the end of the fever, and when convalescence is
established, alcohol in one-half pint doses and good ale in 1-pint doses
may be given as stimulants. To these may be added 1-dram doses of
turpentine.

In complications of the intestines camphor and asafetida are most
frequently used to relieve
