Lunt quarts of blood should be taken from the animal, on the first day; and four pints, on the succeeding morning. If the unfavourable symptoms do not abate, it will be necessary to draw blood repeatedly, one quart at a time ; but, if the creature be old or weak, the bleedings ought to be sparing in quantity, and more frequently repeated. Next, some sweet hay and bran should be cut very small, scalded together, and placed in the manger, in order that the fumes may be inhaled. Mr. Taplin directs this internal fomentation to be attended to every fourth or fifth hour, and the following decoction to be immediately administered :- Let six ounces of pearl-barley, a similar quantity of split raisins and Turkey rigs cut in slices, and two ounces of bruised stick liquorice, be boiled in a gallon of water, till the liquid be reduced to three quarts. It is then to be strained, and a pound of honey added, while it is hot; and, as soon as it is cold, a pint of distilled vinegar. Of this decoction he prescribes one pint to be given, with the addition of an ounce of nitre, every fourth, fifth, or sixth hour, according to the greater or less urgency of the symptoms.

Should the disease progressively become more obstinate, and the animal be costive, a clyster ought to be given ; consisting of two quarts of common gruel, six ounces of coarse sugar, four ounces of Glauber's salt, two ounces of tincture of jalap, and a quarter of a pint of olive-oil. This injection is to be repeated once in twenty-four hours, or oftener, if necessary. But, if the virulence of the disorder abate in consequence of these applications, the subsequent treatment may be similar to that stated in p. 82 of our second volume: beside which, one of the following balls may be administered every morning, for a fortnight:—Take Castile so3p, six ounces; gum ammoniac, two ounces ; anise seeds and cummin seeds, of each four ounces, in powder. These ingre-dents are to be incorporated with a sufficient quantity of honey to form a mass, which should be divided into twelve balls. — The horse's diet, during the progress of the disease, ought to consist of warm mashes of scalded bran, sweetened with four ounces of honey ; while his common drink may be thin gruel, in each draught of which two ounces of cream of tartar should be dissolved. These preparations, however, may be gradually relinquished, as the animal recovers; and the mode of treatment be varied as circumstances may require.
