_Treatment._ Girths, saddles and anything else that may hamper the movement of the chest must be at once removed and the horse’s head turned to the wind, an active stimulant given and the legs well rubbed and loosely flannel bandaged. The nature of the stimulant is of less consequence than its prompt administration. Two ounces of chloroform, of sulphuric ether, or of sweet spirits of nitre; half a pint of whisky, brandy or gin; or a pint of any of the more stimulating wines may be given, diluted in warm water so as to remove their irritating qualities. A drink of warm gruel will often go far to restore warmth to the surface and to unload the overtaxed lungs. Frequent large injections of warm water have a similar effect. Active hand rubbing of the legs and the wrapping of them loosely in flannel bandages previously warmed at the fire is equally valuable. If a roomy, well ventilated, loose box can be obtained the horse should be led to it gently and a light but warm rug placed upon the body. Valuable derivation may be obtained from pediluvia, the feet and legs up to the knees and hocks being put in buckets of water as hot as the hands can bear, and at the same time actively rubbed. If this is impossible the legs may be wrapped in bandages and wet with hot water every few minutes. Or this soothing derivative agent may be applied as well to the surface of the chest. A blanket wrung out of hot (nearly boiling) water until it no longer drops is wrapped round the body and covered up with two or three dry rugs. A second smaller rug is wrung and placed on the neck and covered by a sufficiency of hoods to keep in the heat. The legs are meanwhile hand rubbed and bandaged and the other measures above recommended carried out to restore the circulation in the surface and extremities. The time honored practice of bleeding freely from the jugular vein is one of the most effective means of relieving the overcharged heart and lungs, and should be resorted to at the earliest possible moment. The blood will at first flow in a small, dark stream, but as the circulation obtains relief the jet will increase in volume and the general symptoms will improve. From four to six quarts may be taken with advantage from an ordinary horse. This is not a pneumonia but an overloaded heart and lungs, threatening speedy death and which the abstraction of blood promptly relieves. The longer the bleeding is delayed the less effective it is. It should not supersede the other measures already recommended. There is no real paradox in both bleeding and giving stimulants in such a case, as the essential condition is one of weakness, and if the abstraction of blood has been of use in relieving the clogged heart and lungs, the depression under which these have labored may be still further overcome by agents calculated to rouse their suspended vitality.
