hæmatozoa are numerous in the blood. Temp. 1 P.M. 39.7°C Urine, turbid, viscid, orange
in colour, Sp. Gr. 1,026, neutral, contains 1/12th albumen, numerous blood and a few epithelial
casts together with a few pus cells, but no crystals of Carbonate or Oxalate . In conse
quence of the unsatisfactory condition presented by the animal and as no apparent effect
has been produced on the hæmatozoon by the administration of the Liq. Potassæ,
it has been decided to give Arsenic and to commence with the full physiological
dose of four grains, to be repeated twice in the twenty-four hours. Temp. 5 P.M. 39.4°C.
P. 72. R. 20.
4th.—The condition of the animal is unchanged. Temp. A.M. 39.3°C. P. 72. R. 24.
The hæmatozoa are few in the blood. Temp. 1 P.M. 39.5°C. Urine, turbid/viscid, orange in
colour, Sp. Gr. 1,012, neutral and contains albumen 1/6th together with blood and epithelial
casts, pus cells, and a certain amount of bile pigment, but no crystals. Two doses of
Arsenic were given in the 24 hours. Temp. 5 P.M. 39.4°C. P. 72. R. 22.
5th,—This morning the animal continues to present a dull appearance. There are
numerous ecchymoses on the conjunctiva of left and a few in the right eye. Jugular re
gurgitation is well marked and the pulse-beat is abrupt, there being little or no perceptible
difference in it, at the time of and after the impulse, the vessel feeling like a cord under the
fingers. The sheath and extremities are the seat of considerable swelling and œdema, and
the latter has spread forward along the under-surface of the abdomen and is now well
marked between the fore-limbs. The appetite continues to be excellent and the evacuations
normal in character. Temp. A.M. 38.3°C. P. 64. R. 20. There are a few hæmatozoa in
the blood. Temp. 1 P.M. 38.4°C. Urine, turbid, viscid, orange in colour, Sp. Gr. 1,014, acid,

8th—The condition of the animal is a little more satisfactory this morning ; it does not
appear quite so dull, the œdema of the sheath is certainly reduced in amount, and there is
not quite so much swelling under the abdomen. The visible mucous membranes are cleaner
and there are no fresh petechias on the conjunctivas. The appetite continues very good.

10th—This morning the animal presents a very dull and semi-somnolent appearance.
