not a very common disease among the
lower animals; however, all animals are
subject to such attacks more or Less
believe the dog more frequently than
any of the domestic animals. Among
the causes are injuries to the nervous
centres. It sometimes comes from de-
bility, particularly when the whole ner-
vous system suffers from defective nutri-
ton. When it arises from congestion OF
the anterior portion Of the spinal cord or
medulla oblongata. beIladonna OF its al
kaloid, atrophia, is considered good
treatment. In cases where the system
requires to be supported by good, nutrl-
tious food and that tones and stimulants
are indicated, the oxide of zinc, oxide OF
silver, nitrate Of silver, and sulphate OF
iron will be found excellent remedies.
