TREATMENT OF ADYNAMIC INFLAMMATION AND FEVER. In treating _low asthenic_ or _adynamic inflammation_ all depression and depletion is to be carefully avoided. Even _laxatives_ must be employed with extreme caution. If absolutely necessary it is best to give them in small (half) doses and supplement their action by liberal injections of hot water. Elimination of waste matter from the blood and system is still to be sought, but it must be by _stimulating diuretics_ (sweet spirits of nitre, carbonate, acetate, or muriate of ammonia, digitalis), and direct _stimulants_ and _tonics_ must be given from the first (ammonia, wine, strong ale, whisky, brandy, ether, gentian, calumba, nux vomica). For the horse the following may serve as an example: Recipe: Sweet spirits of nitre, four ounces; sulphuric ether, two ounces; tincture of gentian, ten ounces; digitalis, one dram. Mix. Dose, two ounces in a pint of cool water four times a day. When there is great debility and prostration ammoniacal and alcoholic stimulants must be given freely, while if the fever heat rises very unduly the cooling diuretics (citrate, tartrate, or acetate of potassa, or nitre, etc.), and even sedatives (bromide of potassium, hydrobromic acid, chloral hydrate, salicin, salicylate of soda), must be resorted to. If there is any indication of a special depressing poison in the system, or of the absorption of septic or other noxious matter from a wound, antiseptics (hydrochloric acid, or salicylic acid, sulphite of soda, quinia, or chlorate of potassa) may be advantageously added to the prescription. In these cases of asthenic inflammation, as in the advanced and debilitated stages of sthenic inflammation, the diet should be as good as the patient can digest. Boiled oats, barley, or flaxseed, rich, well-boiled gruels, and beef-tea (even for herbivora,) may frequently be resorted to with advantage.
