The feverish symptoms also which accompany the commencement, also pass off, leaving a low, irregular pulse, until the bowels resume their wonted course, either naturally, or by the aid of medicine. Symptoms of inflammation before yellowness comes on.--As this last and surest indication of diseased liver only appears when the evil is a confirmed one, and is extremely difficult of cure, particularly in old animals, we should assiduously set about ascertaining its commencement, so that the remedy may be promptly employed, and a further procrastinated mischief be timely prevented.
