To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Inasmuch as the pneumococcus is recognized as a specific cause, there will probably sometime be found a serum which will coun- teract the disease. Now we must treat the symptoms. With the pathology in mind we come to the conclusion that we must stimulate the heart. A strong heart tends to prevent consolida- tion ; a weak heart encourages it. Therefore if you let the heart get weak, the horse will run down rapidly. Strychnine comes at the head of the list of stimulants. You cannot treat pneumoni...a successfully without it. I have not much use for digitalis — we do not get satisfactory results from using it in treating the horse. It is all right in the diseases of the 78 THEORY AND PRACTICE dog and man. As regards alcohol we get good results from its use. Let us suppose a case in the first stage, the short stage. Heroic treatment may abort the disease. I would recommend either lib- eral blood-letting or a fever mixture such,as acetanilid, aconite, belladonna and spirits of nitrous ether.
