Cloth, ^2.00 " This manual is, unlike many of its class, not a mere compilation, but contains a number of practical hints not usually found in larger works. The chapters on the diagnosis of preg- nancy, tht treatment of normal and premature labor, operati«ve obstetrics, the puerperal state, and post-partum hemorrhage commend ihemselves especially by their clearness and conciseness. If the advice given in Chapter VI, on the examination of patients before the beginning of labor, were generally followed there would be an immense difference in ihe ma- ternal and foetal n.orialiiy. i he chapter on the laceration of the perineum and pelvic floor is a useful one. The style is clear and concise, the illustrations helpful ; in fact, the work is one which deserves, and will obtain, a wide circulation." — The Medical Record. CROCKER. DISEASES OF THE SKIN.

From The Boston Medical and Surgical Journal :— " So far as the test of daily use has been made no word has been found want- ing, while the arrangement ot biological and bacteriological terms gives the greatest saiislac- tion. The vokime is of a size to be easily used, and contains about 1630 pages; yet wiihiri that space is epitomized, and that without any sacrifice of clearness, a larger amount of information than in any other similar book we know^. Much of this is accom-- plished by the judicious and skilled use of tables, which at once economizes space and makes comparison easy. Besides the ordinary tables of muscles, nerves, and arteries, tliere are several deserving of special mention, such as the tables of stains and tfc.,ts, giving the names and agents employed, as well as the methods of application and reactions, '''he table of named operations is of particular excellence, while the long tables of para- sites and bacteria are probably the most complete li>ts ever published. A special index for ready reference to the tables shows a list of considerably over one hundred of those collec- tions of tabulated facts.

TO MY STUDENTS AT THE NEW YORK COLLEGE OF VETERINARY SURGEONS THIS LITTLE WORK IS DEDICATED, IN THE HOPE THAT IT MAY ASSIST THEM DURING THEIR LIFE WORK, WITH THE KINDEST WISHES OF THE AUTHOR. PREFACE The popularity of this series of "Compends" demonstrates that they supply a long-felt want. From a considerable experience as a quiz-master of medical students and a teacher of anatomy, the writer has seen the benefits of these, and has endeavored to sup- ply for students of veterinary anatomy and physiology a work which would answer their needs not only as a text-book, but also for work in the dissecting-room. While, in the main, the standard work of Chauveau has been followed, the works of Strangeways, Gray and Quain have been consulted. In the section on Physiology the late works of Flint, Meade, Smith and Jeffrey Bell have furnished the greater part of the data, and to them indebtedness is due. Many of the chemi- cal analyses have been taken from Charles. Lack of space necessitated a condensation of some subjects to narrow limits, while others have been merely alluded to. The author trusts it will meet the same cordial welcome from the vet- erinary profession which the other works of this series have re- ceived from their fellow-workers in medicine. My acknowledgments are due to Messrs. D. Appleton & Co., the publishers of Chauveau's " Comparative Anatomy of Domes- ticated Animals," for their courtesy in supplying the illustrations I have used.

ANATOMY. Anatomy is the science of organization. Equine Anatomy is its study confined to the horse. Divisions. Osteology, the study of bones ; Arthrology or Syndesmology, of the joints ; Myology, of the muscles ; Angeiology, of the vessels ; Neiu'ology, of the nervous sy. tem ; Splanchnology, of the viscera. OSTEOLOGY, OR THE BONES. See plate opposite title page. These, the passive portion of the locomotory apparatus, are divided into long, short, flat d^xvA irregular. The lo7tg bones are found in the limbs and are hollowed out internally ; example, the femur. The short bones are about as wide as long, and contain no medullary cavity ; example, the tarsus and carpus. The flat bones are found in the head, pelvis, and shoulder, contain no medullary cavity, and are not thick ; example, the parietal and scapula. The irregular bones have none of the characteristics of the preceding ; example, the hyoid. The Eminences of Bones. Heads are elevations on the extremities of bones, describing the segment of a sphere ; condyles are segments of an oval figure parallel to its large axis ; pi'ocesses or apophyses when much lO EQUINE ANATOMY. detached from bones ; protuberances or tuberosities are large and round ; lines, crests and ridges are narrow and long. Cavities of Bones. Cotyloid are deeply excavated ; channels or furrows when wide and deep ; fissures when narrow and rough ; digital when of the size of finger-ends ; fossa, sinuses, cells and notches are also cavi- ties. An opening in a bone is 2. foi-amen, if long, a capiat. Composition of Bone. Bone is composed of one third part animal matter, giving elasticity, and two-thirds ?nineral matter, principally salts of lime, giving strength. Structure of Bone. Bones are covered externally by a fibrous, nourishing mem- brane, the pei'iosteum. Microscopically bone is seen to consist of the following parts : the medullary canal, see cavity of long bones ; the Haversian canals for the passage of vessels ; lacunce, small black spaces containing bone cells with little canals, the canaliculi, branching from them ; these three structures form the Havei'sian systems. Lamellce are layers of bone under the periosteum or around the Haversian canals. The marrow or medulla of bones consist, of red or fatal mar- row, and yellow marrow. The former is rich in round cells, the latter in fat. Development of Bone. It may be developed from cartilage or membrane. The former method is shown in the long, the latter in the flat bones. Number of Bones. Vertebral column 52 Head 8 Face < 16 Hyoid, sternum and ribs 38 Anterior extremities 40 Posterior extremities 40 419 The ossicles of the middle ear are not included ; the sacrum is considered as five separate bones, the superior turbinated as part of the ethmoid, the pterygoid as a process of the sphenoid, the parietal as a double bone, and the sesamoids are included. OSTEOLOGY. 1 1 THE VERIEBRAL COLUMN. The spinal column is composed of 52 segments, divided into true ^ViA false. The true are divided into 7 cervical, 18 dorsal and 6 lumbar. The false into the sacrum, of 5 segments closely fused, and the coccyx, of from 15 to 18 segments more or less movable. Common Characteristics of Vertebrae. Each one has a body and an arch, enclosing the spifial canal, which includes the spinal cord. The body has a superior face, forming the lower boundary of the spinal canal, an ififerior, two lateral surfaces, a head, convex for articulation, an antejior ex- tremity, and a concave posterior exirejuity. The arch projects upvv-ard from the top of the body, and con- sists of pedicles, lamince, transverse, spinous and articular pro- cesses. The pedicles are two strong processes projecting upward and supj)orting the transverse and articular processes. The t?'a?isverse processes project laterally from the summit of the pedicles. They are elongated antero-posteriorly in the cervical, short in the dorsal, and long in the lumbar regions. The lamince are two processes uniting above and forming the spinous process ; they enclose the spinal cord. The spi7ious processes project upward and backward, from the junction of the laminae. They are small in the cervical, long in the dorsal, rough and enlarged in the lumbar regions. The articular processes are four in number, two anterior and two posterior. The former look upward, the latter downward. In each is a notch, which, when in apposition, forms the interverte- bral foramen, CERVICAL REGION. Common Characters. The body is long and thick and has an inferior spine. The spinous processes are a roughened Ime. The transverse or trachelian processes are elongated antero- posteriorly and are in relation to the trachea. They are traversed at their base by a foramen, transmitting vessels, the vertebral. The articular processes look downward ?cci'^ inward. Peculiar Cervical Vertebrae. The 1st or atlas articulates with the occipital, has a thin body, 12 EQUINE ANATOMY. no head, two deep concave facets in its place ; an articular sur- face below for the odontoid process ; transverse process very rudi- mentary. The spinous processes are flattened from above, downward, are elongated and show two foramina, the anterior transmitting a vein, the posterior the vertebral vessels. The 2d or axis is very long, has no head, but, in its place, a process convex and smooth below, concave above, articulating with the body of the atlas, called the odontoid (or tooth-like). The spinous process is very elongated antero- posteriorly and divided into two lips. The ti'ansverse are little developed. The sth has a heart-shaped tubercle on its inferior spine. The 6ih or tricuspid has a third prolongation on its transverse process. The jth ox prominens has a long spine, demi-facets behind for the I St rib, the transverse processes are single, and the vertebral foramen is absent. THE DORSAL VERTEBR.^. The body is short with a projecting head anteriorly, a marked depression posteriorly, and four articular cavities for the heads of the ribs, two in front, two behind. The spinous processes are long, and flattened on the sides. The transverse processes are short, and have a facet for articulation with the tuberosity of a rib. The length of the spines increases to the 5 th and then decreases to the 1 8th. The i8th has no facet on its body behind. THE LUMBAR VERTEBR.*:. The body is longer and wider than the preceding, the spinous process is shorter and surmounted by a tubercle ; the transverse processes are flattened from above, downward, and pass trans- versely outward, the fifth and sixth, and sixth and front of the sacrum articulating by facets. THE SACRUM. The sacrum consists of five segments, closely fused. It articu- lates with the last lumbar and its transverse process in front, the coccyx behind and the os innominata laterally. It is triangular in shape with a base anteriorly articulating with the body, articular and transverse processes of the last lumbar ; showing also the vertebral canal, an apex behind articulating with the coccyx, two lateral borders articulating with the innominate OSTEOLOGY. 1 3 bones in front, an inferior surface smooth and showing four inter-vertebral foramina^ and a superior surface showing the spinous process and the supersacral foramina. THE COCCYX. This consists of from fifteen to eighteen segments ; the first three or four only are complete, the spinal canal then simply con- tinuing as a groove. The first is often consolidated with the sacrum. THE HEAD. This consists of eight bones, the occipital, two parietal, two temporal, the ethmoid, frontal 2.wA sphenoid. OCCIPITAL. The occipital forms the upper and posterior portion of the head, and is divided into an external and internal face and circum- ference. The External Face shows— The external occipital protuberance, an elevation forming the point of the head. The occipital foramen (or foramen magnum) below and in front of the preceding, a large round opening, transmitting the spinal cord, its membranes, the cerebro-spinal vessels and eleventh nerve. The basilar process, a long narrow prolongation passing forward to unite with the body of the sphenoid. Two sharp crests running outward, the superior, continuing as the zygomatic process, the inferior, terminating at the base of the styloid process. The two condyles which lie on either side of the foramen, articu- lating with the atlas. The styloid processes, two large blunt projections lying outside the preceding. The condyloid foramina, lying at the bottom of a fossa under the condyles and transmitting the twelfth nerves. The Internal Face shows the foramen magnum, condyloid foramen, and a smooth roof for the cranial cavity. The Circumference shows — Articulations above for the parietal bones, and laterally for the temporal. 14 EQUINE ANATOMY. A deep notch closed in by the temporal and sphenoid, forming the anterior and posterior lacerated foramiiia, separated by a ligament. Articulations 6. Two parietal, two temporal, sphefioid and atlas. PARIETAL (a wall). The parietals form the roof of the cranial cavity, are developed from two centres closely fused together and closed in by the oc- cipital, frontal, tempo7'al 2iVi^ OT^^o?,\\.t parietal. It has external diud internal smidiCt?,, 2ind four borders, si/perior^ inferior, external and internal. The exteimal suiface shows the parietal ridge beginning at the occipital protuberance and ending at the supra-orbital process of the frontal. It divides the bone into two rough and one smooth portions. The intei'nal surface shows depressions for the brain and a marked elevation, "Oci^ parietal eminence, which lodges the conflu- ence of the sinuses, the torcular Herophili ; from this point lateral ridges run, lodging \k\Q parte to- temporal confluents. In front it is prolonged by the suture between the two bones, the sagittal. The superior border is thick and articulates with the occipital. The inferior border articulates with the frontal. The internal border articulates with its opposite. The exterjial border articulates vvith the temporal and forms a groove, the parieto-/(?/«/^r(^/ canal. Articulations 5. Occipital, frontal, sphenoid, temporal and opposite. FRONTAL. The frontal {frons, the forehead) forms the front part of the roof of the cranium and part of the face. It lies between the parietals above, the nasals and lachrymals below, and the tem- porals laterally. It has two surfaces, an external and internal, and four borders, a superior, inferior and two lateral. The External Surface shows — A median plane surface covered with skin and forming the base of the forehead. Two strong processes projecting outward form- OSTEOLOGY. 1 5 ing the orbital arch and articulating externally with the zygomatic process of the temporal. An opening in the orbital arch, the supra-orbital. At the base of the arch a depression for the pulley of the superior oblique. The Internal Surface is concave and shows — A superior part articulating with the parietal above and joining below the crista galH and wing of the sphenoid. An inferior part articulating in the median line with the ethmoid, and shows two large openings into \\\q. frontal sinuses, two spaces between the external and internal plates of the bone. It forms part of the roof of the nasal fossae. The supei'ior border articulates with the parietal and temporal, the inferior with the lachrymal and nasal, and the lateral with the palate and sphenoid, forming with the latter the orbital foramen. The frontal has two centres of ossification. Articulations, 14. With two parietal, two temporal, two nasal, two lachrymal^ sphenoid, ethmoid, two palate and two superior maxillary. ETHMOID. The ethmoid (sieve-like) lies at the anterior part of the floor of the skull, and forms part of the roof of the nasal fossae. It is divided into a vertical plate, a horizontal portion, and two lateral masses. The vertical portion articulates below with the vomer and the median nasal cartilage, forms the median septum of the nose, and terminates above in the crista galli, a small elevation on which a process of the cerebral dura mater is attached. The horizontal portion forms the roof of the nasal cavities, part of the cranial floor, and is perforated by a number of openings for the passage of the filaments of the olfactory nerves. The lateral masses form part of the orbital and nasal walls, are exca- vated to form the ethmoidal cells and show an anterior projection forming the superior turbinated bone which is really a part of the ethmoid and considered as such. Articulations, 7. Sphenoid, frontal vomer, two palate, two superior maxillary. I 6 EQUINE ANATOMY. SPHENOID. The sphenoid (a wedge) serves to connect the bones of the head and face, being wedged in between the occipital behind, the ethmoid and frontal in front, the parietals and temporals laterally. It is divided into a body and two wings. The body shows on its internal surface — The optic fossa, a transverse depression for the optic nerves, ending in the optic foramina, which open into the orbit. The seita turcica or pituitary fossa, behind this, receiving the pituitary body. The wings projecting from the body and articulating with the frontal. Two fissures outside the sella tui'cica, the inner one lodging the cavernous sinus. The supra-sphenoidal canals, the upper one called the great sphenoidal fissure, the lower the foramen I'otundum, the middle opening near the optic. The External or Inferior Surface shows — Outside, the vidian canal opening into the orbit. The internal pterygoid plate (pterygoid bone) outside the vomer, flattened laterally. Its internal face forms part of the pharyngeal walls. At its base is found the vidian canal (see above). Its apex forms the hamular (hooked) process, passing backward and serving for the passage of the tendon of the tensor palati. The extej-nal pterygoid or sub-sphenoidal process lying outside the preceding. Above this the oi^^mngoi \h^ sub-sphenoidal canal yN\\\Q\\ opens into the orbit. Below two fissures for articulation with the vomer. The superior ox poste?'ior hoxAtr is continuous with the basilar process of the occipital, and on each side forms the inner bound- aries of the lacerated foramen. Three notches are also seen, for the passage of the carotid a7'tery, \\\t foratnen ovale for the infer- ior maxillary nerve, and one for the middle 7neningeal artery, the foramen spinosujn. The anterior or infe?'ior border shows — The sphenoidal sinuses, excavations continuous with the eth- moidal plate. The lateral borders show — OSTEOI-OGY. 1 7 Thin edges for articulation with the frontal, squamous part of the temporal and parietal. A^'ticulations, 10. Occipital, ethmoid, frontal, vomer, two parietal, two temporal and ticw superior maxillary. THE TEMPORAL. The Temporal is important as forming the bony canals for the reception of the organ of hearing, and is found forming parts of the sides of the head, face and cranial cavity. It is divided into squamous and tuberous portions.

The tarsus corresponds to the carpus of the anterior foot, and consists of six or seven segments. These segments are divided into two rows : an upper and lower. In the former, in front, is the astragalus, behind the os calcis ; in the latter, outside, is the cuboid, inside, above, the scaphoid, be- low the large and small cuneiforms. There are sometimes three cuneiforms, making seven segments. THE ASTRAGALUS. The astragalus lies between the tibia above, the scaphoid be- low, and the calx behind. It has external and internal rough faces, a posterior with facets for the OS calcis, an inferior convex for the articulation with the scaphoid and a superior and anterior with two articular elevations and a depression for the tibial articular surface. Articulations, 4. Tibia, os calcis, scaphoid and cuboid. THE OS CALCIS OR CALCANEUS. The OS calcis is elongated, lying behind the astragalus, above the cuboid, and forming the summit of the tarsus. It shows — A convex outer su7face and concave inner, forming the tarsal arch. A concave anterior and thick posterior border. A superior extremity with a rough spot for insertion of the gas- trocnemius, a smooth surface on which the tendon plays, and be- hind another for the gliding of xhQ petforatus.

I'he cuboid is irregularly quadrilateral in shape, and articulates with the calcaneus, astragalus, scaphoid, jniddle and external metatarsals, and large cuneiform. Arthrology. 37 The scaphoid is boat-shaped, articulating with four ; the astra- galus above, cu7ieifo7-tns below, and the cuboid externally. The great cu?ieiform (wedge-shaped), lies inside the cuboid, articulating with it, the small cuneiform, scaphoid, juiddle and internal metatarsals. The small cuneiform lies on the inner side of the tarsus, articu- lating with the scaphoid, large cuneiform, middle and internal metatarsals. THE METATARSUS.

The muscles are the active portions of the locomotor}' apparatus, and form one-half of the body's weight. They are divided into striated or striped and unstriated or un- striped. The former are voluntary and the latter involuntary. The striped nmscles (ZQX\^Vi,\. oi fibres divided mio fibrillcB, the whole being surrounded by a membrane, the pe7iniysium. The fibrillae are composed of small portions, the sai-cous elements, at- tached to each other end to end. Between the fibrillae is more or less interstitial substance. The unstriped muscles are found in the viscera as the intestine, and consist of fusiform cells, each with a distinct nucleus and bound together by connective tissue. Appendages of Muscles. These are tendons, fascice and aponeuroses. Tendons are round, or flattened, white cords at the terminations of muscles, composed of condensed white fibrous tissue. Aponeuroses are flattened bands connected with, or the termi- nations of, the broad muscles, and composed of white fibrous tissue. Fascice are strong processes of the same structure, forming sheaths and coverings for the muscles. Bur see are thin bags filled with mucous or serous fluid, and placed on bony points over which muscles glide. Their office is to prevent friction. Sheaths of tendons are composed of fibrous tissue, forming de- pressions or compartments in which tendons glide. When com- plete they are called vaginal. They may be lined with synovial membrane.

CIRCULATORY APPARATUS. 83 Cavities. — It is divided by a vertical septum into two parts, which are further divided into four by a transverse septum. The cavities above the transverse septum are called the right and left auricles. Those below, the right and left ventricles. RIGHT AURICLE. On an average the walls are one-fourth of an inch thick. It receives the anterior vena cava, posterior cava vena azygos, and the large coronary veifts, and opens into the interior of the auricular appefidix, a mass projecting from the outside of the auricle. Its interior is divided by a number of transverse bands called musculi pectinati. On the posterior wall is the fossa ovalis, the remains of the opening existing in foetal life : around its periphery is found the aniiulus ovale or ring. Behind the anterior cava is an eminence, the tubeixuhmi Loweri. The anterior border of the fossa ovalis shows a fold called the Eustachian valve, a remnant of foetal life. The auriculo-ventricular opening is found on its floor, circular in outline, surrounded by a fibrous ring and closed by the tricus- pid valve. RIGHT VENTRICLE. The walls are, on an average, y^^ of an inch thick. The apex extends to only \\ inches from the point of the heart. The walls are uneven from the columnae carnece, or muscular columns, which project into the cavity. They are of three varieties, one attached by one end and the other prolonged by the chordae ten- dinae, to the edges of the valves ; the second, by both extremities ; the third, adherent through all its length. The tricuspid valve closes the opening into the auricle, and is composed of three segments, all attached to the chordcB tendincB. The pulmonary opening is circular and leads into the pulmonary artery. It is closed in by the semilunar valves, three in number, which are attached also to the tendinous cords. In the centre of each valve is often seen an elevation, the corpus arantii. LEFT AURICLE. Much similar in structure to that of the right side. It opens into the left ventricle, and has on its superior wall the openings 84 EQUINE ANATOMY. of four to eight pulmonary veins, which have no valves. The obliterated foramen ovale is also seen on the inter-aricular septum. LEFT VENTRICLE. The walls are on an average li to if inches in thickness ; at the apex they are very thin and form the point of the heart. The auriculo-ventricida7' opening, similar to that on the right side, is closed by the initral valve, composed of two segments at- tached to chordae tendinae. The aortic opening is similar to the one on the right, and is closed by the semilunar valves. Structiii'e. Four fibrous rings around the openings. At the junction of the aortic and auriculo-ventricular rings is a cartilaginous body. The muscular tissue is striped and involuntary, but unlike all voluntary tissue, it inosculates and branches freely, has no sarco- lemma, and its striae are not well marked. The auricles have two sets of fibres, one common to both, the other of fasciculi arranged in loops, rings, or as sphincters. The ventricles have also two sets, one intrinsic running from the rings obliquely around the axis of the ventricle, the other common to both, running downward and from left to right, terminating in- ternally in the columna carnece. The endocardium is a serous membrane lining the cavities of the heart, having a basement membrane covered with flattened endothelium, polygonal in form, each with a nucleus. Its redu- plications form the valves. Blood supply. Coronary arteries, from trunk of the aorta, each following the horizontal and vertical furrows. The venous blood is returned to the right auricle by the coronary vein. Nerves. From pneumogastric and sympathetic. Probably also intra- cardiac sympathetic ganglia. ARTERIES. The arteries are the tubes that carry arterial blood from the heart over the body. The pubnonary artery carries venous blood to the lungs, form- CIRCULATORY APPARATUS. 85 ing with the corresponding veins the pulmonary circulation. The remainder of the arteries constitute the general or systemic circu- lation. Structure of arteries. They are more or less rigid and elastic, with three coats — (i) an external fibrous or adventitia, (2) a middle muscular or media, (3) an internal serous or intima, continuous with the endocar- dium. The external tunic is nourished by vasa vasorum, and the mus- cular coat receives branches from the sympathetic system, called vasomotor nerves. The capillaries are small vessels between the arterial and venous systems. They are composed of a basement membrane, covered by a layer of delicate cells, continuous with those of the arteries. THE AORTA. It is the beginning of the arterial system, given off from the left ventricle, and guarded by the semilunar valves. Just above the valves it shows three dilatations, the sinuses of Valsalva. It passes upward and forward for about two inches, when it divides into the anterior and posterior aortas. Branches. Right and left coronary to heart (see above). ANTERIOR AORTA. The smaller of the two passes forward and upward for two or two and a half inches, where it divides into the two axillary arteries or brachial trunks.

They carry arterial blood and are destitute of valves. LYMPHATICS. The lymphatics are vessels with very thin and transparent walls, found all over the body, except in blood-vessels, nervous tissue, bone, muscles, eyeball, cartilage, tendons, the membranes of ovum, placenta, umbilical cord, cuticle or hair. They possess nutrient vessels, no nerves, have valves, and carry lymph or chyle into the vascular system. The ly??iphatic glands are small ovoid bodies in the course of lymph channels; they exist as groups in the sub-lumbar, inguinal, popliteal, iliac, femoral, pre-pectoral, pharyngeal, pre-scapular, inediastinal and bronchial regions. They have a special capsule and are composed of reticular tissue. The lymphatics break up into smaller ones before reach- ing the gland, called the afferent vessels, and are united again on the opposite side as the efferent vessels. THORACIC DUCT. Receives all the lymphatics except those of the right side of NERVOUS SYSTEM. IO3 the head, neck, thorax and right anterior hmb.

RIGHT LYMPHATIC DUCT. Opens at junction of jugulars and is guarded by a valve. It is about two inches long and receives all the lymphatics that do not empty into the great duct. NERVOUS SYSTEM. This system is divided into the cereb7'o- spinal, presiding over animal life, and sympathetic, over organic life. It is composed of white fibres, gray vesicles in a stroma of neitrolgia or connective tissue, and a gelaiijioiis material in the sympathetic. The white nervous tissue is composed of an outer envelope or tubular membraiie, a middle coat called the white substance of Schwann, and a central portion which transmits nervous im.pulses, the axis cylinder.

Physiolog'y is the study of the functions or actions of living structures or organs. Equine Physiology treats of its application to the horse. THE CIRCULATION. The circulatory system consists of a central organ, the heart, arteries, vei?is, and lymphatics, (for anatomical structure see above), the blood and lymph. THE BLOOD. The blood, the great nutritive fluid of the body, is about -^-^ of the bodily weight in amount. Its composition in loo parts venous blood — Corpuscles, 32.62 Plasma, 67.38 100.00 The^corpuscles consist of — Water, 56 Solids, 43 99 The plasma consists of — Solids, 9.16 Water, 90.84 100.00 (173) 174 EQUINE PHYSIOLOGY. The solids of plasma are — Fibrin, 1.91 Albumin, 7.76 Fats, 12 Extractives, 40 Soluble salts, .64 Insoluble salts, 17 10.10 The Specific Gravity of the horse's blood is 1055, its Reaction alkaline, and its Tempe7'ature 36.5 to 37.8 Cent. (Charles.) The corpuscles are found in two forms, the red and white. The red corpuscles are bi-concave disks, with no nuclei, tending to adhere in rolls, with a diameter of .005 mai. They contain the coloring matter, the haemoglobin, which in the horse contains 43 per cent, of iron, and also C, H, N, O, and S (Preyer). The haemoglobin forms about 90 per cent, of the red disks (Smith). Their function is to absorb and carry oxygen. The white corpuscles are much less numerous than the red, the proportion being on an average one white to 300 red. They are globular in shape and are 0.01 mm. in diameter, and contain sev- eral nuclei. They are derived from lymphoid tissue, and are probably developed into red corpuscles. They have the power of amoeboid movement by pushing out processes, and of passing through the walls of vessels. COAGULATION OF BLOOD. When blood is placed in a vessel after removal from the body, it goes through a process called coagulation : First, in a few min- utes a yellow scum appears on top, the buffy coat ; second, the cor- puscles settle to the bottom, forming a reddish layer. Then drops of serum are seen on the sides and top. In 12 or 15 hours the serum and clot are completely separated. The serum differs from plasma in not containing fibrin. The specific gravity oiplas?na is 102 7-1028. Theory of Coagulation (Schmidt). Fibrinogen and fibrinoplastin^ with the fibrin-ferment, derived probably from white corpuscles, come together and cause co- agulation. Coagulation is hasiejied by a temperature of 100° F., contact THE CIRCULATION. 175 with air, rough surfaces and rest, and retarded by cold, neutral salts in excess, exclusion of air, etc. (Brubaker). Arterial Blood contains more oxygen and less carbon dioxide than venous ; is scarlet in color, from the presence of oxy-hsemo- globin. Venous blood is purple in color. The blood of \ht portal vein is rich in water, albuminous mat- ter and sugar, and the hepatic is rich in corpuscles and sugar. CIRCULATION OF THE BLOOD. The blood may be traced from the left ventricle, through the aorta, to the capillaries, where it passes into the veins, being re- turned to the right auricle by the anterior and posterior cavas. From there it passes to the right ventricle, through the pulmonary artery, to the lungs, where it is oxygenated. It is then returned to the left auricle by the pulmonary veins, and from there to the ventricle. By this it is seen that the heart is the central organ of the circulation, and propels the blood by alternate contractions and dilatations. The contraction is known as the systole, the dila- tation as the diastole. The phenomena attending the systole are a hardening, shorten- ing, a movement of the apex downward, and a twisting of the heart from left to right. If the heart's cycle is divided into ten tenths, during the first four-tenths the ventricles contract simultaneously and the auricles diXQ passive ; in the second four-tenths the auricles dilate and the ventricles 2iXQ passive ; in the last two-tenths the auricles contract and the ventricles dilate. The sounds of the heart are known as the first and second,^ with an interval of silence after the latter. The first sound occu- pies four- tenths, the second three -tenths, the interval of silence three-tenths. The fif'st sound is longer, louder, lower in pitch and more booming than the second, and is caused by (i) the closing of the auriculo-ventricular valves; (2) the apex striking against the chest ; (3) the contraction of the muscular fibres ; (4) the sound of the blood passing through the interior. The second sound \<> shorter, higher in pitch, and clicking, and is caused by the closure of the mitral and tricuspid valves. The force of the heart, or vis a tergo, is more than sufficient to carry the blood through the system. 176 EQUINE PHYSIOLOGY. The number of pulsations of the heart per minute are from 36 to 40. In the new born horse they are 120, and at the end of the first year from 48 to 56. Their relation to the respiratory movements are on an average one to four (the number of respiratory acts being ten per minute, usually) . The capacity of the ventricles is each about 20 ounces. The entire blood in the body would pass through the left ventri- cle in 66 seconds in an animal of 1000 pounds weight, assuming the amount of blood to be 55yV pounds {^-^ of the bodily weight), and requiring 44.4 pulsations. Arterial Pressure is the force exerted by the blood on the ves- sels, and is measured by a tube introduced into some of the large vessels. In the carotid the blood pressure equals 32 mm. of mercury; in the brachial 150 mm. The Arteries may be divided into three sets (Flint), the largest ending at the carotid and iliacs, with elastic walls ; the medium from these to yL of ^^ \x\c\i in diameter ; the smallest from Y^ of an inch to the capillaries. The median are elastic and contractile, the smallest only contractile. The velocity of the arterial current wd^iits in the different arte- ries ; it is the greatest during systole, least during diastole. In the carotid \X. is 300 mm. per second; in the maxillary 165 mm. per second ; metatarsal 56 mm. The Capillaries form the communication between the arterial and venous vessels, and the current of blood is much slower, only To" ^o fV '^^'^' P^^ second, the blood pressure being only 35 mm. In the capillaries the oxygen is absorbed by the tissues. The velocity of the venous current varies : in "the jugular vein being 100 mai., and in the vena cava no mm. per second. The blood pressure of the venous system is much less and the capacity much more than the arterial. Vierordt showed that 31.5 seconds after injection of a salt solu- tion into one jugular, it could be detected in the vein of the op- posite side. The valves of veins prevent damming back of blood. The flow of blood is kept up in the veins — I St. By the vis a tergo of the heart. 2d. By the vis a fronte or suction force of the thorax. 3d. By muscular contraction on the walls of the veins. RESPIRATION. I 7 7 Action of the nervous system on circulation. The heart is under control of both the cerebro-spinal and sym- pathetic nervous systems, being supplied by the pneumogastric nerve and the cervical sympathetic, there being also probably some intracardiac sympathetic ganglia. The pneiitnogastric has an inhibitory action on the heart, as shown by section of the nerves, which is followed by an increased frequency of the heart's action. The sympathetic has an accelerative action on the heart, as shown by the previous experiment, and also by stimulation of the fibres, which is followed by an increased number of pulsations. Stimulation of the tenth nerve is followed by decreased pulsations, and if a strong current is used, by paralysis of the heart in dias- tole, by stimulation of its inhibitory action. Local circulation is regulated by the vaso-motor nerves of the sympathetic system. They are known as vaso-dilators and vaso- contractors. RESPIRATION. Respiration consists of an appropriation of oxygen by the tissues and a giving off of carbonic oxide gas. The respiratory organs consist, from above downward, of the (i) nasal fosscB, (2) pharynx, (3) larynx, (4) trachea, (5) bronchi, and (6) lungs. (For anatomical descriptions, see Visce7'a.^ The different steps of respiration consist — ist. Of the introduction of atmospheric air into the lungs in in- spiration. 2d. Of the taking up of oxygen by the blood. 3d. Of the appropriation of oxygen by the tissues. 4th. Of the exhalation of carbonic acid gas in expiration. In Inspiration the air passes through the mouth or nasal cavities to the larynx, the glottis being dilated, then to the alveoh of the lungs, which it distends. Muscles of Inspiration. The diaphragm is the most im.portant, becoming flattened, and at the convexity decreased. The external intercostals and supercostals raise the ribs and carry them forward, thus enlarging the lateral diameter of the thorax. 178 EQUINE PHYSIOLOGY. In forced inspiration we have coming into action the latissimus dorsi, serratus anticiis mi7ior and scaleni. In Expiration the air is forced out of the air passages, and is in a passive condition usually, except in forced expiration. The Muscles of Expiration are the diaphragm, coming for- ward in a dome-shape, decreasing the antero-posterior diameter of the thorax. The internal intercostais, triangularis sterni and serratus pos- ticus ?ninor act by carrying the ribs backward. In forced expi7'atio7i we have coming to action the ilio-spinaliSy external and internal oblique, transversalis and rectus of the ab- dominal tunic, by depressing and retracting the posterior ribs. Number of Respirations per Minute. Ordinary movements, 10 Walking two hundred yards, 28 Trotting five minutes, 52 After five minutes' gallop, 52 (^Colin- Smith. ^ Capacity of the Lungs. In man the extreme breathing capacity of the lungs is over three hundred cubic inches, but the ordinary capacity is only about two hundred cubic inches. The tidal air that is breathed in and out in tranquil respiration. The reserve air is that remaining after an ordinary expiration, but which can be expelled in a full expiration. The residual air is that which always remains after a forced expiration. The complemental air is that which can be taken into the lungs in a forced inspiration. The measurements of the capacity of the horse's lungs are unimportant, but are probably about five or six times as extensive as those of man. Changes in the Air in its Passage through the Lungs. Atmospheric air consists of — Nitrogen, 79-15 parts. Oxygen, 20.81 " Carbon dioxide, 04 " 100.00 RESPIRATION. 1 79 In its passage through the lungs it loses oxygen and gains CO., expired air consisting of — Nitrogen 79-557 Oxygen 1 6.033 CO2 4.38 99.970 The taking up of oxygen and giving off of CO., takes place by the law of diffusion of gases, illustrated by simple experiments. That expired air contains CO2 may be shown by blowing into a jar of lime-water, the liquid becoming turbid from the change into carbonate of lime, and giving off of CO2 in form of bubbles. These bubbles, when collected, will not support combustion, and turn blue litmus red. The greater part of the oxygen consumed is returned in the form of COj, about eight out of ten parts, the remainder being thrown off by the urine and skin, or uniting with hydrogen m the body. Solids and moisture in varying proportions are also thrown off. Changes in the Blood during Respiration. Arterial blood contains in one hundred parts — Oxygen 20 volumes. Carbonic dioxide 36 " Nitrogen 1-2 " Venous blood contains in one hundred parts — Oxygen 8-1 2 volumes. Carbonic dioxide 46 " Nitrogen 1-2 " The oxygen exists in the blood in the red blood corpuscles as oxy-hcBmoglobin, being given off in the peripheral capillaries, and then is known as reduced hcemoglobin. The carbon dioxide exists in serum in a loose state or as solu- ble carbonates. The nitrogen exists in solution in the blood serum, and can be expressed by a sm.all vacuum. The gases compose about 60 per cent, of the volume of the blood. Nervous Mechanism of Respiration. Respiration is involuntary usually, as it is carried on during l8o EQUINE PHYSIOLOGY. sleep and in unconsciousness from drugs, though it is also modi- fied by the will. It is under the control of the cerebro-spinal nervous system, though the sympathetic forms plexuses at the root of the lung. The respiratotj centre is in the floor of the fourth ventricle, and a puncture at that point stops respiration immediately. If the brain is removed above the medulla, the act still goes on. If the carotid and vertebral arteries are ligated, the animal develops dyspnoea at once, owing to a deficiency of oxygen at the centre. The nerves of respiration are the two phrejiks, two pneiimogas- trics, i7itercosiah to the muscles of the chest, the cervical and lumbar to the muscles of the neck, back and abdomen. The Phrenics. — If the phrenics are both cut, the diaphragm is paralyzed ; if a single one, that side only remains passive. If a section is made of the cord above the fifth cervical nerve, we have instant stopping of respiration, due to paralysis of the dia- phragm and thoracic muscles, and immediate death. Life may be continued a short time after both phrenics have been divided, as the intercostal muscles still act. The Intercostals act very simply by supplying the ordinary muscles of expiration and inspiration. If a single one is divided, the remainder do its work. The Cervical and Lumbar nerves supply the muscles gen- erally of forced inspiration and expiration. The PneumogastriCS. — These are distributed at the roots of the lungs, and if one is cut, respiration becomes very slow. Sec- tion of both causes marked decrease in respirations, and death in four or five days. A weak galvanic current applied to the nerve increases the number and force of the respiratory acts. Stim- ulation of the central end of its divided superior laryngeal branch causes slow respiration ; and if strong, paralyzes it in forced ex- piration. ALIMENTATION. Alimentation is the process of receiving or taking nourishment ; it may be divided into digestion and absorption. Digestion is the preparation of food for absorption. Absorption is the process by which the digested food enters the circulation. Nourishment or food is necessary to repair waste and for the growth of the animal. ALIMENTATION. l8l The/o(?(/ of the horse, being herbivorous, consists of the fol- lowing : {a) Cereals, as wheat, barley, corn, rice, and oats. They con- tain over eighty per cent, of sohds, which consist of albumin, small amounts of fat, carbohydrates, and non-nitrogenous extract- ives. Corn and rye are rich in starch, but poor in albumin. Oats are very rich in starch, about fifty per cent., and also con- tain nine percent, of albumin and six per cent, of fat. Oats also contain ferments, which digest starch and proteids as well as forming lactic acid; assisting the stomach very materially in digestion. {b) Bulbs and roots, as potatoes, containing large amounts of water and starch ; fodder and sugar beets ; cabbages, containing a large amount of starch, sugar and cellulose in small amounts. {c) Leguminous plants, as peas and beans. («/) Grasses, as prairie- hay, rye-straw, grass, clover, etc. Green grass contains seventy-five per cent, water, clover sixty per cent. ((?) Jnoj'gank matter, as water, commoii salt, lifne and potas- sium salts, and iron. Sodium chloride, or common salt, is essential, and regulates endosmosis and exosmosis. Other salts are deposited in bone. The iron forms the coloring matter of the blood. The Amount of Food Required. The horse needs daily 7500 grammes of hay and 2270 of oats, or 10 kilos (22 lbs.) of hay, and 2 kilos (4.4 lbs.) of oats to every 100 kilo (220 lbs.) of body weight. Colin says that the horse will eat 26 kinds of plants, and reject 212 (Meade-Smith). It should receive daily about two per cent, of its body weight in solid food, and should be in the proportion of i to 4 of nitro- genous and non- nitrogenous material. The different steps of digestion diXt prehension, mastication, salivary digestion, degluti- tion, gastric and intestinal digestion, absorption and defecation, or expulsi£)n from the body of the residue not required for aU- mentation. PREHENSION. Prehension is the process of transferring the food to the mouth, and is the first or primary act of digestion. The upper lip carries the food to the teeth, the long neck and l82 EQUINE PHYSIOLOGY. head being carried to the ground ; the head then makes a quick movement to the side, and the food is carried to the side of the mouth to be ground up by the molars (see Teeth). Liquid may be taken in by {a) sucking; in the young, {b) pumping by piston action of tongue ; {c) aspiration, by an in- spiratory movement. The second one is the most often used by the horse. MASTICATION. Mastication is a complex act, in which the food is triturated in the mouth between the two jaws and teeth. (For anatomical considerations, see Teeth.) Movements of the jaws. In the horse these are depression, elevation and rotation, and in mastication make eighty strokes per minute. The incisors serve to bite off a portion of food, which is then, by the tongue and muscles of the face, carried between the molars, where it is comminuted to a much greater degree.

For anatomical considerations, see Mouth. Saliva is alkaline in reaction, its specific gravity is 1004.5, and its amount in 24 hours is 84 pounds. Its composition (Meade- Smith, from Lassaigue) is as follows for mixed saliva — Water 992.00 Mucus and albumin 2.00 Carbonates i .08 Chlorides 4.92 Phosphates, etc traces. 1000.00 It also contains epithelium, mucin, pytalin, serum, albumin^ globulin and sulpho-cyanide of potassium. The parotid saliva is the largest in amount and most watery. The sub-maxillary is viscid and contains no albumin, and the sub-lingual is very viscid and contains a large amount of solids. Action of the Saliva. — It has a mechanical action, by lubricating the bolus of food, and a chemical by the action of its ferment, ptyalin. This converts starch into sugar, and cane sugar into grape sugar. As this process takes several minutes, it continues going on in the stomach. DEGLUTITION. The act of deglutition consists of the passage of the food from the mouth to the stomach ; it is divided into three stages ; the first stage comprises the passage of the bolus from the mouth through the fauces to the pharynx ; the second, its passage through the pharynx, and the third when it passes through the oesophagus. In the first stage, the tip, body and base of the tongue press against the hard palate, and push the bolus along toward the pharynx, the teeth being closed. The palato-glossi and pha7'yngei then contract and force the bolus into the pharynx, the palatal curtain being carried against the superior pharyngeal wall. In the second stage the constrictors contract, the epiglottis closes the top of the larynx, and the bolus is passed into the oesophagus. In the thi7-d stage the oesophagus contracts on the bolus, and J 84 EQUINE PHYSIOLOGY. by the movement of its circular and longitudinal fibres forces it through the cardiac orifice of the stomach into that viscus. The first stage is voluntary, the others involuntary. The horse can make from 65 to 90 motions of deglutition per minute for fluids. GASTRIC DIGESTION. From the difficulty or impossibility of making a gastric fistula in the horse, the amount and composition of the gastric juice is hard to estimate. Its specific gravity is about loio, its reaction acid and its composition is as follows — r Water Fluids, < Hydrochloric acid \- 982.80 ( Lactic acid ■ Solids 17.20 } 1000.00 The solids are — Pepsin, Milk-curdling ferment, Chlorides, Phosphates, Iron. The amount of acids varies from 0.084 P^i" cent, to 0.2 per cent. The juice from the fundus of the stomach contains more fer- ment, more acid and more mucus than that from the pylorus. Action of the Gastric Juice. The gastric juice changes starch into sugar, not of itself, but by the sahva, which still continues its action, converts vegetable albu- min into peptones, and digests cellulose by fermentation to some extent. In feeding the horse the food should be taken in the follow- ing order :^rs/ water, seco7id hay, third oats, as the water if given last would wash the food into the intestine before it was acted upon by the gastric juice, while if hay was given after oats, it would carry them along with it, as it is principally digested in the intestines, the oats being acted upon by the stomach for the most part. The stomach is never completely empty, as some food re- mains after 24 hours. ALIMENTATION. 1 85 Vomiting in the horse is very infrequent and difficult, on ac- count of there being no dilatation of the stomach at the point where the oesophagus enters, the oesophagus being very narrow at its termination and being nearly filled by folds of its mucous mem- brane. It takes place by a deep inspiration, forcing the diaphragm down and fixing it ; then a relaxation of the oesophageal orifice, with a spasmodic contraction of the abdominal muscles, completes the act. THE BILE. The bile, secreted by the liver, acts upon the food in the upper part of the small intestine. It is brownish-green in color, alkaline in action, bitter in taste. Its specific gravity is higher than the gastric and lower than the pancreatic juice, and its amount in 24 hours is from 11 to 13^/2 pounds. Its composition is as follows : — Water. Mucin. Bile salts j^^y'^^^^^,^',^^* Soda. (^ iaurocholate of Soda. Bile coloring matters ^.,. ,.' Cholesterin. Iron and salts. The Mucin comes from the biliary passages, not from the liver cells. Gmelin's Test for Biliary Pigment. Spread a drop of diluted bile on a porcelain plate and add a drop of yellow nitric acid to it. A play of colors results, green, blue, violet and yellow. (Charles.) Pettenkofer's Test for Biliary Acids. Add a little sugar to the fluid, then shake and add a few drops of strong sulphuric acid. A beautiful purple or violet coloration will appear. Cholesterin is excreted by the liver, and is derived from broken- down nerve-tissue. Under the microscope it appears as delicate, thin, flattened, super-imposed plates, with one corner broken off, 13 1 86 EQUINE PHYSIOLOGY. Action of the Bile in Digestion. 1. It dissolves and emulsifies fats and liberates fatty acids in small amounts. 2. It acts as a stimulus to peristalsis by its irritant action on the intestinal mucous membrane. 3. It prevents decomposition of faeces, the faeces being colored by the bile pigments in the form of hydro-bilirubin. 4. It is said to contain a ferment in small amount, capable of converting starch into sugar. Glycogenic Function. From observation it has been found that the liver has another function — the changing of the carbohydrates and albumin into a new substance, glycogen, CrHioOo, whitish in color, inodorous, amorphous, insoluble in alcohol or ether, but imperfectly soluble in boiling water (Charles). It is taken up in the form of glucose, then stored up as glycogen, and then changed into glucose again, when It is carried away from the liver. Uses of Glycogen. — It is probably burned up in the lungs, cir- culation and muscles in generating animal heat, and in muscular action. Puncture of the floor of the medulla causes glycosuria, as shown by Bernard, An animal deprived of bile by a fistula dies of star- vation after losing four-tenths of its bodily weight. THE PANCREATIC JUICE. The secretion of the pancreas is colorless and alkaline in reaction. It is coagulated by heat, metallic salts, tannic acid, etc. ; is easily decomposed, emitting an offensive odor. Its specific gravity is about 1020, and amount in 24 hours is about 12^/^ pounds. Its composition is as follows : — Water, 9S2.05 Organic matter, 8.88 Ash, 8.59 The ash consists of phosphates, chlorides, iron and magnesium. The organic matter consists of four ferments — an amylolytic, a proteolytic, one acting on fats, and a milk- curdling ferment. The first may be extracted by a solution of arseniate of potas- ALIMENTATION. I 8 7 sium with a little ammonia added ; the second by potassium iodide, and the third by a solution of bicarbonate of soda with a little caustic soda. Action of the Pancreatic Juice. T. It changes starch and glucose into sugar rapidly and com- pletely. Cane-sugar not acted upon. 2. It emulsifies and saponifies fats completely with the aid of the bile. 3. It converts albumin into peptones. 4. It, by means of a special ferment, curdles milk. This fer- ment can be extracted by a solution of common salt, but has not yet been isolated in the horse. THE INTESTINAL JUICE. This is secreted by Brunner's glands and the crypts of Lieber- kuhn. Its specific gravity is about ioio_, alkaline in reaction, and its composition is as follows (Charles, from Colin) : Water 98. 10 Solids 1 .90 Albumin and other organic matters ... 0.45 Carbonate of soda i ,45 Its amount in 24 hours is difficult to estimate, Colin having found about 12 ounces an hour in about six feet of gut. This may be increased by injection into the gut of irritants. Its Action is much the same as the pancreas, dissolving pro- teids and albumin, and converting starch into sugar. The gases found in the intestine are oxygen, nitrogen, carbon dioxide, hydrogen, ammonia, carburetted and sulphuretted hy- drogen. About 60 per cent, of the proteids have to be digested in the small intestine. DIGESTION IN THE LARGE INTESTINE. The Caecum serves as a reservoir for the food after about 24 hours, the fermentative changes of the small intestine still going on in an alkalme medium. About 20 per cent, of the food is digested in that viscus, and about 40 per cent, of the cellulose. 1 88 EQUI>J£ PHYSIOLOGY. The Colon acts principally as an absorbing area, the food pass- ing through its several curvatures and the floating colon before reaching the rectum. The diaphragmatic curvature contains large amounts of fluid. THE F^CES. The residue of aliment after digestion is expelled from the rectum in rounded balls as faeces. Horses defecate every three hours, and will pass about 17 kilos or 37.4 pounds, or 5.8 of solids. About 13 per cent, are inorganic materials. DEFECATION. Defecation is the process of evacuation of the rectum. The presence of fecal matter in the rectum leads to the desire to expel it. The brain then sends an inhibitory action to the reflex centre in the lumbar cord, which causes a relaxation of the sphincter muscles. Contraction of the abdominal muscles and small colon, with the circular fibres of the rectum, then take place, causing a propulsion of the faeces through the anus. The mucous membrane of the opening is everted, then pulled back by the retractor muscles. INTESTINAL MOVEMENTS. The food is carried along by peristalsis, a worm-like motion of the intestine due to involuntary contraction of both the longitudi- nal and circular muscular fibres. The irritation of the bile is an active factor in keeping it up. ABSORPTION. Absorption is the process of taking up the food principles after digestion, also water and salts that have not been acted upon. It takes place by means of lymphatics and veins. By veins. — The water, salts, sugar, soaps and peptones are ab- sorbed quickly by osmosis, and also by some special function of the epithelial cells of the villi. By lymphatics. — This takes place by the villi (see bitestines) ; the emulsified food elements passing into their interior by the interr,e'lular connective tissue, then by the lymph channels of the ABSORPTION. 1 89 mesentery to the receptaculum. Lymph is an alkaline, viscid fluid of a specific gravity of about 1030 ; its amount in 24 hoars, 72 kilos or 158 pounds. Its composition is (Smith, from C. Schmidt) : Water, 963.93 Solids, 36.07 Solids ai'e — Fibrin, \ Albumin, \ 28.84 Fats, etc., J Inorganic salts 7.22 36.06 It contains lymph corpuscles, identical with white blood cor- puscles in structure. The coui'se of the lymph is from the various lymphatics of the periphery to the receptaculum, then through the thoracic duct into the confluence of the jugulars. Chyle is lymph during diges- tion, and contains emulsified fats in addition to its usual compo- sition. It passes through the villi to the thoracic duct. Its com- position (Charles, from Schmidt) is — Serum, 96.74 Clot, 3.25 Water, 88.7 Solids, 1 1 .2 Solids ai^e — Fats, 0.15 Soaps, 0.03 Fibrin, 3. 89 Albumin, sugar, etc., 6.59 Haematin, salts, After a meal the chyle is very abundant, during fasting very small in amount. The flow of lymph is kept up by the contrac- tion of their walls, by the aspiration of the diaphragm, contraction of the abdominal muscles, and the peristalsis of the intestines. IQO EQUINE PHYSIOLOGY. ANIMAL HEAT. The process of nutrition and oxidation of food products is ac- companied by the evolution of heat. This gives the body an average temperature which, in the horse, varies between 37.5° C. and 38° C. Sources of Animal Heat. This is the result of oxidation of the h)^Qrocarbons and carbo- hydrates as well as the combination of hydrogen and oxygen form- ing water. Heat Ufiiis. — The English heat unit is the amount of heat re- quisite to raise one pound of water, 1° F. In the horse for each kilo of weight, 2.1 heat units are set free per hour, or for an ani- mal of 500 kilos, as an example, 1050 heat units per hour, or in a day 2.1x500x24=25200 heat units. In a man of 140 pounds, 13,440 heat units are thrown off in the same time. The temperature is raised by exercise, due to increased tissue metabolism, and the urea is increased. The temperature of the blood of the portal vein is usually sev- eral degrees higher than the average temperature of the body. SECRETION. Secretion (Flint) is the act by which fluids holding certain principles in solution are separated from the blood, or are manu- factured by special organs from mateiials furnished by the blood. These have a function to perform. An Excretion contains elements not formed in the substance of the gland which have no function to perform and are extracted from the blood. There are always two periods in every secreting organ — I st, The pejiod of i-epose, or period of no secretion ; though the manufacture of the solid elements is constantly going on. 2nd, The period oifimctiojial activity, in which the formed ele- ments are washed out by the water from the blood, which is eight times as abundant in this stage. Classes of secreting organs. 1. The most simple is a basement membrane covered with flat- tened cells, as the peritoneum, 2. The next is more secreting surface with not much more space, as the simple depressions of Lieberklihn in the small intestines. ABSORPTION. 191 3. The second variety have two or more branches leading into a common duct, as in Brunner's glands. 4. Where a number of the third variety open into a common duct, the compound racemose glands, as the salivary and pan- creatic ghnds. 5. Tubular glands composed of a number of elongated tubes, as in the testicle and kidney. 6. The ductless glands, as the spleen and supra-renal capsules. 7. Unclassified glands, as the liver. The Permanent fluids are the aqueous d^ndi vitreous humors of the eye, synovial, serous, cerebrospinal and fluid of the internal ear. The Transitory fluids are mucus, cerumen, sebaceous matter, Meibomian, tears, milk and all the digestive fluids. The Excretiofis are the urine, sweat, fceces, and bile, which is also a secretion in part. THE PERSPIRATION. (For anatomy of skin, see Sense of Touch.) The perspiration is of low specific gravity, about 1004, alkaline or neutral in reaction, and contains about 2 per cent, of sohds, consisting of urea, fats, cholesterin and salts. Its amount varies with exercise and in different parts of the body, being most abun- dant in the inguinal region. When it is secreted in small amounts not to be seen by the eye it is called insensible; when in large amounts, sensible persjnration. \\.'s> fu7ictions are the regulation of animal heat and also excre- tion of urea, etc. Section of the cervical sympathetic increases the secretion in that part, and certain drugs, as Jaborandi, have a like action. The Sabaceous matter of the skin consists of about Yi water and Yi solids, of albumin, epithelium, fat, soaps and salts. It acts as a lubricant to the skin and hair. THE MAMMARY SECRETION. Milk is secreted soon after the birth of the foal, obtained by suction, is alkaline in reaction and of a specific gravity of about 1030. It consists of (Charles, from Gorup-Besanez) : Water 82.84 Solids 17.16 192 EQUINE PHYSIOLOGY. Casein, | . . i 6j Albumin, J •■ Butter 6.87 Milksugar, ^ g_^ Inorganic salts, j -' 17.16 The gases of milk (Pfluger) are carbonic anhydride, oxygen and nitrogen. Colostrum is the milk secreted a short time after parturition. It is yellow in color, of a higher specific gravity, slightly acid, contains large oil globules covered with casein, and has purgative properties. The mammae at the time of gestation become enlarged, pend- ent, soft. I'he epithelium becomes rounded, and contains a large amount of fat. Milk can be coagulated by acids, tannin and mineral salts by coagulating the casein. Mare's milk contains a large amount of sugar, which, by the addition of an acid, takes on a lactic acid fermentation, as in the preparation of koumiss. The rapidity and amount of the mammary secretion are de- pendent on arterial pressure. Certain drugs have more or less action upon it. URINE. Urine, the excretion of the kidneys, is a watery, yellowish fluid, holding in suspension many sohds, which are excreted in this form. It is alkahne in reaction when the animal feeds on vege- table food, and its specific gravity varies from 1016 to 1060, usually about 1050. Its composition is (Smith, from Boussin- gault) : Urea 31. Potass, hippurate 4.7 Alkaline lactates 20. 1 Potass, bicarb 15.5 Magn. carb 4.2 Calcium carb 10.8 Potass, sulph 4.2 Sodium chloride 0.7 Silica i.o Water 9io-o 1 000.0 ABSORPTION. 193 Mucin is abundant. The urea is dependent on the amount of oats, grain and roots ingested, the hippuric acid (CaHyNO.), to which and phenol the odor is due, on the amount of green stuff, hay and straw. The amount in twenty-four hours is five or six litres, varying with the amount of fluid excreted by the sweat glands. The secretion of urine takes place — 1. ^y filtration, the water and soluble salts passing out into the interior of the glomerulus. 2. By active secretion, urea being secreted by the epithelial cells of the convoluted tubules. The latter process has been proved by injecting i?idigo caj-mine into the blood after section of the spinal cord to prevent filtration. The carmine can be found in the cells of the convoluted tubes, and also in the urine, none be- ing found in the glomerulus. Chine is decreased in summer, due to the increased amount of secretion by the skin, by slowing the heart, by sleep and rest. It is increased by cold weather, stimulation of the heart, after eating, and also by stimulation of the medulla. After secretion, the urine passes into the pelvis of the kidney, through the ureter, drop by drop, into the bladder, where it is accumulated till discharged, the bladder being emptied three or four times in twenty-four hours. Nervous 77iechanism of micturitio7i. The centre for micturition is located in the lumbar enlargement of the cord. The sensation of fullness is carried to this centre, which sends back an impulse, relaxing the contracted sphincter, and causing a contraction of the longitudinal (or detruso?-) fibres. This forces the contents into the urethra, the contraction of its fibres terminating the act. After section of the spinal cord, a condition known as I'etention with overflow takes place, the bladder is distended, and soon also the sphincter vesicce. by mechanical means, the urine escaping drop by drop and soon becoming ammoniacal. THE DUCTLESS GLANDS. These are the spleen, see Abdomen ; the thyroid and thymus, see Thorax; and the supra-renal capsules, see Kidney. The Supra-renal capsules are relatively larger before birth, can be extirpated with no apparent result, are probably connected 194 EQUINE PHYSIOLOGY. in some way with the sympathetic system, but their function is not known. The Spleen probably influences digestion, and Shiff and Herzon claim that the secretion of trypsin, one of the pancreatic ferments, is dependent on it. In its structure are found pigment, broken-down red corpuscles and many leucocytes. It also serves as a reservoir for the ab- dominal circulation. It can be removed without loss of life, and is a blood gland. The Thyroid and Thymus have to do with the elaboration of blood, otherwise their function is unknown. The Pituitary Body and Conarium also properly belong in this category, but their function is unknown. THE NERVOUS SYSTEM. The nervous system connects into a coordinated organism all parts of the body. It receives all impressions, regulates all move- ments, voluntary and involuntary, and the functions of secretion, nutrition, calorification and all processes of animal life. (Flint.) The cerebrospinal system consists of the brain, cord and the var- ious nerves, and presides over animal life. The sympathetic pre- sides over nutrition or organic life. (For structure of nerves, see Anatomy of Nervous System.) Termination of nerves. To voluntary muscular fibi-es the nerve divides and spreads out into plaques. To involuntajy fibres^ it loses its tubular membrane and ter- minates in the nucleus as the axis cylinder. The Sensory 7ierves terminate — ((^) As minute plexuses with no fixed arrangement. {b) As the tactile co7puscles or end bulbs of Krause, found most abundantly in the lip, hoof, sheath and glans penis. These are small capsules of connective tissue, the nerve terminating in a plexus or bulbous extremity. They have also a central termina- tion either in the brain or cord, connected to a cell pole by an axis cylinder. After its origin a nerve does not inosculate but passes to its terminus. Nerves are divided into molar and sensory, the former ending THE NERVOUS SYSTEM. I 95 in muscles and conducting the stimulus by which the muscle acts, the latter carrying sensation from the periphery to the centre. Nerves act as conductors, but do not produce anything. A nerve's function is manifested at its terminus. NeiTe stwiu/ation can be accomplished mechanically, chemi- cally or thermically, also by a mild current of electricity. Ra/e of nervous conductio7i is 250 feet per second (electro- tonus, for lack of space, will not be described). The Spinal nerves are 42 or 43 in number, arranged in pairs (for description, see Nerves). The superior or sensory nerves end in the superior or sensory horns of the gray matter of the cord, the inferior or motors end in the inferior or motor horns. Sti7mdatio7i of the former causes pain at its peripheral distribution, and seciio7i loss of sensation at the same point. Stimulation of the latter causes contraction of the muscles to which it is supplied, and section motor paralysis of the same. THE CRANIAL NERVES. The First or Olfactory will be discussed under Smell, The Second or Optic terminates in the retina, the fibres de- cussating. Section of one tract before discussation, causes total blindness of the outer half of the eye of the same side and the inner half of the opposite. Injuries of the visual centre produce the same re- sult. The Third or Oculo-motor is entirely motor, and supplies all the muscles of the eye, except the external rectus, great obhque and part of the posterior rectus, the pupil with contractihty and movements of the cihary muscle. Section causes external strabis- mus, ptosis, dilation of the pupil, and inability to rotate the globe in a vertical direction. The Fourth or Patheticus is entirely motor, and paralysis causes inabilty to rotate the eye laterally. The Fifth or Trifacial is a mixed nerve, viz., both sensory and motor. The ophthalmic and superior maxillary branches are en- tirely sensory, the inferior maxillary both sensory and motor. Division of the nerve in front of the Gasserian ganglion causes loss of sensation in its course and also tropic changes in the eye- 196 EQUINE PHYSIOLOGY. iDall, the latter not taking place if the action is made behind the ganglion, by leaving the sympathetic attachments intact. Stimu- lation causes exquisite pain, as it is the most sensitive nerve in the body. Section of the inferior maxillary branch causes paraly- sis of the muscles of mastication on the same side, and loss of sensation in one lateral half of the tongue. Stimulation causes a spasm of the same muscles. The Sixth or Abducens is purely motor, and, if cut, we have an inabihty to carry the eye outward. The Seventh or Facial is motor, and also sends the chorda tympani as a special nerve of taste to the anterior two-thirds of the tongue. Section causes paralysis of the superficial muscles of the face, stapedius, occipito-styloid, digastric, stylo-hyoid.. subcutaneous muscle of the neck and soft palate through the great petrosal to Meckel's ganglion. There is also loss of taste on the anterior two-thirds of the tongue on the same side. Stimiilatio7i causes contraction of the same muscles. The Eighth or Auditory is a nerve of special sense purely. Section produces deafness on the same side. The Ninth or Glosso-pharyngeal is a mixed nerve, being one of general sensation to the pharynx and fauces, of special sense of taste to the back part of the tongue, and of motion to the pharyngeal muscles in part. It is concerned obviously in de- glutition. The Tenth or Pneumogastric. The auricular branch gives sensation to the external ear. The pharyngeal gives sensation to pharynx and to muscles con- cerned in deglutition. If the superior laryjigeal branch is stimulated, spasm of the glottis and diaphragm results. If the inferior laryngeal is cut, an arrest of the respiratory movements of the glottis takes place, as it suppUes all the muscles of the larynx except the crico-thyroid. Cardiac Branches. — If the nerve is cut in the neck, its inhibit- itory action on the heart is taken off and it is increased in fre- quency. Galvanization of the peripheral end decreases its action and stops it in diastole, if strong enough. THE NERVOUS SYSTEM. 197 Pulmonary Blanches. — If the nerves are cut in the neck, the respirations are markedly diminished, death finally occurring^ Galvanization increases the number ; if strong may arrest it. (Esophageal Bratiches. — Paralysis of these causes an inability to swallow food, which remains in the gullet. It is finally vomited by irritation of the tube. Gastric Branches. — If the left nerve is cut during digestion, secretion and motion at once cease ; slightly irritated, it causes glycosuria. After division, the bile becomes more fluid in character, the formation of glycogen ceases, and purgatives have no longer any effect. Eleventh or Spinal Accessory. This is a motor nerve as well as supplying the larynx through the laryngeals. Stimulation causes spasm of the sterno-maxillaris , 77iastoido~ humeralis^ and cervical and dorsal trapezius. Division causes paralysis of these as well as shortness of breath, from incoordination of muscles and inability to make a prolonged vocal sound. Twelfth or Hypoglossal. This is purely motor and division causes paralysis of the mus- cles of the tongue and difficulty in mastication and deglutition. THE SPINAL CORD. The inferior motor roots emerge from the larger extremity of the horn of gray matter on either side, and communicate with the large multipolar motor cells found in groups in that situation. The superior or sensory roots enter the cord, immediately com- municating with the tripolar sensory cells of the smaller extrem- ity of the gray matter, which comes to the surface. Some of both the motor and sensory roots enter the columns of the opposite side or lateral tracts, not all of the fibres thus pass- ing up or down at the same point. Decussation of motor and sensoi'y tracts. Most of the motor nerves cross to the opposite side at the me- dulla, the nerves from the right side of the brain ending on the left side of the body, and vice versa. Some of the motor roots continue down the cord on the same side as the direct pyrafnidal tract. J 98 EQUINE PHYSIOLOGY. The sensory ?ierves decussate all along the cord, not at one fixed point, ending at the sensory portion of the internal capsule and hippocampus major. Thus one side of the brain governs the sensation of the opposite side. Functions of the Cord. I. As a conducto7\ II. As an independent nerve centre. I. As a Conductor. — The inferior and inferior lateral columns convey motor impulses from the brain to the periphery. If a sec- tion of both motor tracts is made, motor paralysis will result below that point. If one tract, motor paralysis on the same side only. If the sensory portion of the cord is cut completely, a similar absence of sensation below that point and inability to coordinate will be the result. If a unilateral sensory section is made, there will be complete loss of sensation on the opposite side. Section of one lateral half of the cord causes motor paralysis on the same side, with hyperaesthesia and sensory paralysis on the other. II. As a Nerve Centre. — If a frog is decapitated and placed in a vacuum it will remain quiet. Now, if its surface is iiritated, mus- cular contraction will result. If the cord is broken up no such phenomena take place, showing that the cord controlled these movements, which are called reflex actiofis. The sensory nerves convey the impression to a centre in the cord, which sends it back to the muscles, causing a contraction (FHnt). The gray substance of the cord is neither sensible nor excitable. The inferior lateral white colu?nns are excitable throughout, but not sensible. The superior columns are sensible, more so at the entrance of the posterior nerve-roots. They are not excitable. Deeply, they are neither excitable nor sensible. THE ENCEPHALON. The encephalon consists of the medulla oblongata, pons, corpora striata, corpoi'a quadrigeniina, optic thalaitii, olfactory lobes, cere- bellum and cerebrum. MEDULLA OBLONGATA. This serves as a medium of transmission of 7?iotor and sensory impulses, and also as the centre for numerous functions, as masti- cation, deglutition, vomiting, a cardiac centre, a vasomotor ce7itre THE NERVOUS SYSTEM. 1 99 and a respiratory centre. The glycosuric centre has been already referred to (see Liver). PONS VAROLII. The superficial fibers are ?iot excitable or sensible; the deeper are excitable, and the posterior are only sensible. It presides over voluntary motion and sensation. CORPORA STRIATA. Electrical stimulation of one of these causes general muscular contraction on the opposite side. Destruction of the internal cap- sule causes loss of motion and sensation on the opposite side of the body. The anterior part of the internal capsule is motor, the posterior sensory. CORPORA QUADRIGEMINA. They are situated in the path of visual conduction, and are con- nected with the sense of sight and the reflex movements of the iris. OPTIC THALAMI. These are probably connected with sensation, vision and com- plex muscular actions, though their function is not thoroughly understood. OLFACTORY LOBES. These are the centres for the special sense of smell, and their destruction causes a loss of this sense. Fibres have been traced to the uncinate gyrus, temporo-sphenoidal region and optic thalami. CEREBELLUM. The cerebellum presides over the coordination of movements of progression, being connected intimately with the superior col- umn of the cord. Their destruction leads to absence of co-ordi- nation. CEREBRUM. The cerebral hemisphej-es are the centres of intellect or mind, receiving impressions and giving off impulses. k\\ animal de- prived of the cerebrum retains the special senses of sight, sound, taste^ etc., but the intellectual faculties are all lost. From experi- mentation on the lower animals and by observation in disease, centres have been located which preside over certain functions. The motor area is located in the cortex above the fissure of 200 EQUINE PHYSIOLOGY. Sylvius and at the junction of the anterior with the middle third of the surface. The upper part presides over the hinder extrem- ity of the opposite side, the middle over the anterior extremity, and the lower over the face. In front of the latter in man is found the speech centre on the left side. The centre for sight is located in the occipital region ; those for smell, hearing and taste in the temporo-sphenoidal region. THE SYMPATHETIC SYSTEM. This chain of twenty-eight ganglia is sensible after long stimu- lation. After section of the cord in the neck, there is increased vascu- larity by paralyzing the coats of the small vessels. Functions. — It influences the general process of nutrition and forms the vasomotor system. This sends branches to small blood-vessels, and influences local circulation by vaso-dila- tors and vaso-contractors. SPECIAL SENSES. TOUCH. When a foreign body is brought into cont.ict with the surface, it is appreciated by the nerves of the part as the special sense of touch. This sense is located in the skin and al>o on mucous mem- branes for a certain distance. The termination of nerves in the skin has been already noticed. In the hor^.e, with a single digit covered with hard material, the hoof is an imperfect organ of touch, but can estimate solidity and resistance. The hp is a well-marked tactile organ, the end bulbs of Krause being very abundant. SMELL. The sense of smell is very acute in the horse. It has already been sufficiently considered under the anatomical description. TASTE. Taste enables the animal to detect the flavor of substances. The anterior two-thirds of the tongue preside over the abihty to recognize acids and alkalies, and is supphed by the chorda tym- SPECIAL SENSES. 261 pani of the seventh, the posterior one-third, recognizing bitters and sweets, being suppHed by the glosso-pharyngeal nerve. The circiimvallate or calyciform papillae are probably gustatory, the other papillae serving to entangle substances, so that their flavor can be detected. HEARING. The External Ear collects the sound waves and carries them inward to the membrana tympani. The Middle Ear. The membrana ty?npani XQceiYt?, the sound waves and transmits them through the ossicles to the foramen ovale opening into the vestibule. The Eustachian tube allows air to enter the tympanum, and thus equaHzes the pressure on both sides of the membrana tympani. The guttural pouch, at its termination below, is probably connec- ted with phonation. The Internal Ear. Thr semicircular canals have some function connected with maintaining equilibrium. The organs of Corti are probably the essential parts of the in- ternal ear, and here the sound-waves are recognized, each sound by a separate organ, the organs receiving the waves by vibrations of the endolymph transmitted from the perilymph. SIGHT. Sight is the special sense by which we are enabled to form an idea of objects by means of the eye. Mechanism. The rays of light enter the eye by passing through the cornea, aqueous humor, pupil, crystalline lens and vitreous to the retina, where they are recognized and the impression sent to the brain by the optic nerve. The /miction of the cornea, aqueous, and lens is to refract the rays of light and bring them to a focus on the retina. The iris regulates the amount of light entering the eye by means of its muscular fibres dilating and contracting the pupil. The retina receives the impression of light, the layer of rods 14 202 EQUINE PHYSIOLOGY. and cones being the most sensitive portion. The point of en- trance of the optic nerve is known as the blind spot. Accommodation. When an object is distant, the rays of light are more parallel, less refraction is necessary, and the lens is flattened. When the object is near, the opposite condition holds, the lens becoming convex by contraction of the ciliary muscle ; this decreasing the intra-ocular pressure and allowing the lens to increase in thick- ness. In the ordinary condition the intra-ocular pressure on the suspensory hgament of the lens retains it in a flattened state. Space need not, obviously, be given to errors of refraction and accommodation. REPRODUCTION.

WITH ELABORATE VOCABULARIES. " I am particularly pleased that this book has found its way to a revised edi- tion. The first edition was such a useful book, and its success was so desirable, that it is espcially gratifying to find it now reappearing, and in an improved and somewhat extended form. Although the subject of this work does not fall within my department at the New York College of Pharmacy, I shall have much pleasure in extending its sale and field of usefulness." — H. H. Rtisby, Professor of Physiology, Botany, Pharmacognosy and Materia Medica, College of Pharmacy of City of New York. " It is a work that meets with my hearty approval. There is great need of just such a book in our American schools of pharmacy and medicine." — E. S. Bastin, Professor of Botany, Philadelphia College of Pharmacy. " It is practical; its arrangement shows the careful and thoughtful genius of its author, who seems to have comprehended just the need of the student, and put it in such genial form as to lead the pupil rapidly to an understanding of what he had feared would be uninteresting and tedious." — Pharmaceutical Record. " The result of our examination has been to secure its adoption as one of the regular text-books of this College. A careful perusal of it leads me to be- lieve that it is admirably adapted to the purpose for which it is intended, and that it will prove successful." — J. H. Seal, Principal Departtnent of Phar- macy, Scio College, Scio, O. " This method of preparing medical students and pharmacists for a practical use of the language is in every way to be commended, . . . Pharmacists should know enough to read prescriptions readily and understandingly." — Johis Hopkins Hospital Btdletin. P. Blakisfon, Son & Co., Piiblishers. Philadelphia. FIFTH EDITION NOW READY. Hughes' Practice of Medicine. A COMPEND OF THE PRACTICE OF MEDICINE. By DANIEL E. HUGHES, M. D., Late Demonstrator of Clinical Medicine at Jefiferson Medical College, Phila- delphia, now Physician-in-Chief, Philadelphia Hospital. Fifth Edition. Mevised and Enlarged. 12tno. Full Morocco, Gilt Edges, Net, $2.25. This book is arranged in a most systematic, practical and con- cise way, and cannot fail to prove a useful hand-book to any medical man, pharmacist, or student. The present edition has been thoroughly revised and enlarged, and includes a new section on Mental Diseases. General Order of Contents. — Continued Fevers — Periodical Fevers — Eruptive Fevers — Diseases of the Mouth — Diseases of the Stomach — Diseases of the Intestinal Canal — Intestinal Parasites — Diseases of the Peritoneum — Diseases of the Biliary Passages — Diseases of the Liver — Diseases of the Kidneys — Diseases of the Blood — General Diseases — Diseases of the Respiratory System — Diseases of the Circulatory System — Diseases of the Nervous System — Diseases of the Mind — Diseases of the Skin — Index. " It gives everything pertaining to the practice of medicine in a concise manner, and in a more elaborate way than one would expect from a compend. It is much superior to our numerous hand-books of treatment, for, besides giving all that is known concerning the application of remedies, it also gives a brief and very intelligent account of the synonym, definition, causes, pathological anatomy, symptoms, diagnosis, and prognosis of all the diseases described in the book, and, therefore, cannot fail to meet with a welcome from every practitioner who is pushed for time and who desires to gather the latest ideas on the practice of medicine in a plain and practical form." — The Philadelphia Polyclinic.

IS4. 00; Leather, ^5.00 Dr. Potter has become well known as an able compiler, by his Compends of Anatomy, and of Materia Medica, both of which have reached four editions. In this book, more elaborate in its design, he has shown his literary abilities to much better advantage, and all who examine or use it will agree that he has produced a work containing more correct information in a practical, concise form than any other pubHcation of the kind. The plan of the work is new, and its contents have been combined and arranged in such a way that it offers fe compact statement of the subject in hand. Part I. — Materia Medica and Therapeutics, the drugs being arranged in alphabetical order, with the synonym of each first; then the description of the plant, its preparations, physiological action, and lastly its 1 herapeutics. This part is preceded by a section on the classification of medicines as follows : Agents acting on the Nervous System, Organs of Sense, Respiration, Circu- lation, Digestive System, on Metabolism (including Restoratives, Alteratives, Astringents, Antipyretics, Antiphlogistics and Antiperiodics, etc.). Agents act- ing upon Excretion, the Generative System, the Cutaneous Surfaces, Microbes &nd Ferments, and upon each other. Part II. — Pharmacy and Prescription Writing. Written for the use of physicians who put up their own prescriptions. It includes — Weights and Measures, English and the Metric Systems. Specific Gravity and Volume. Prescriptions. — Their principles and combinations; proper methods of wr.ting them; abbreviations used, etc. Stock solutions and preparations, such as a doctor should have to compound his own prescriptions. Incompatibility, Pharmaceutical and Therapeutical. Liquid, Solid and Gaseous Extempo- raneous Prescriptions. Part III. — Special Therapeutics, an alphabetical List of Diseases — a real Index of Diseases — giving the drugs that have been found serviceable in each disease, and the authority recommending the use of each: a very im- portant feature, as it gives an authoritative character to the book that is unusual in works on Therapeutics, and displays an immense amount of research on the part of the author. 600 prescriptions are given in this part, many bemg over the names of eminent men. The Appendix contains lists of Latin words, phrases and abbreviations, with their English equivalents^ used in medicine. Genitive Case Endings, etc. 36 Formulae for Hypodermic Injections; a comparison of 10 Formulae of Chloro- dyne; Formulae of prominent patent medicines; Poisons and their Antidotes; Differential Diagnosis; Notes on Temperature in Disease ; Obstetrical Memo- randa; Chnical Examination of Urine; Medical Ethics; Table of Specific Gravities and Volumes; Table showing the number of drops in a fluidrachm of various liquids and the weight of one fluidrachm in grains, and a table foff converting apothecaries' weights and measures into grams, THE PRICE OF THIS BOOK IS NET.
