The remark- able energy of the circulation through the blood-vessels is very finely illustrated by spreading and ty- ing apart the toes of a frog's foot, and examining the web through a good microscope. Tlic field of observation will appear like an immense plain cut up with large riv- eiTi intci-sected by numerous small streams, all run- ning with the ra- pidity of a torrent, the larger currents running much the faster. The blood corpuscles are also clearly distinguishable. Something of an idea of this can be seen by referring to Figs. 631 and C32, which represent such a view of the circulation through the web. When the circulation is in its natural state, that is, distributed properly to aU pai'ts of the body, it implies a state of perfect health, but if, from any cause, it is withheld or forced from any part of the body, there is not enough blood in that part, while there will be an excess in other parte. Thus, if the horse is exposed to a cold wind, or is chilled by a current of air sti-iking the body, the Fig. ^^^^^^ ^^ ^^ f^j.^.^^^ fj.^^^ jj.^ gurface to the inter- nal organs, accumulating where there is most free- dom for it, or where it is weakest; usually in the lungs and surrounding parte, kidneys, bowels, and sometimes ia the feet, the first indication of which would be a shivering fit, followed by fever.
