The water, as it is exhausted in the above boiler, should be supplied with more at the full temperature. Very little fire will then keep up the steam, though, as the fumes of charcoal are decidedly unhealthy, it is always well when those fumes can, by means of a pipe, be conveyed to the outside of the building; if that be impossible, let every door and window be left open; the necessary admission of air may impoverish the steam, but the vapor is too dense to be entirely dispelled. The steam acts upon the lungs; warm, moist air being soothing and curative to the thorax affected with bronchitis. When the apparatus cannot be obtained, the large nose-bag should be frequently applied during the day. [Illustration: EIGHT-TAILED BANDAGE FOR RETAINING ANY SUBSTANCE AGAINST THE THROAT OF A HORSE.] Some scalded hay is also to be fixed under the throat by means of an eight-tailed bandage. A macintosh jacket is then laid on the floor, and the horse gently led forward till one leg rests within one armhole. The opposite leg is to be raised and put through the other opening; the cloth is next lifted up and temporarily fixed upon the animal; afterwards, have six pieces of flannel, two three yards long and the entire width of the fabric, the others half a yard long and a foot wide. Saturate three of these with cold water; having folded the long piece, apply it over the back, equally to either side; the short pieces place upon the sides of the chest; fasten the jacket over the spine. When the flannel is warm, remove it; replace it immediately with other flannels, which should be ready for this purpose. Do this continuously for at least a couple of hours, after which time the flannel may remain on; but must, on no account, be suffered to become dry. The jacket and flannel should be worn for a week subsequent to restoration. Then prepare the following: Burgundy pitch Half a pound. Powdered camphor Two ounces. Powdered capsicums Half a drachm. Melt the pitch. Take the vessel which contains it off the fire; throw in the other ingredients, stir well, and apply while warm to the front of the neck, as low as the jacket will permit. [Illustration: A HORSE DRESSED FOR BRONCHITIS.] For bronchitis, consisting principally of aggraved congestion, prepare the following drink, and repeat it every half hour, until the pulse has regained its tone; then give the drinks at longer intervals, and ultimately reduce them to three during the day, which continue till restoration is perfected:-- Sulphuric ether One ounce. Laudanum One ounce. Water One pint. Should no effect be produced after the third drink, discontinue the frequency of the ethereal medicine, and substitute the following:--
