CERVUS BRAZILICUS (Nobis).
CERV.—BRAZILIAN STAG; GUAZOUTI. PORTUG: GOUAZOUPITA.
This stag whose forms are extremely fine and graceful, inhabits the forests of Brazil. Its size is about the same as that of our stag. Its skin the color of which never changes, is of a brownish fallow, being rather lighter towards the abdomen, the posterior part of the thighs and the tail. The inferior surface of the lower jaw, the part above and below the eyes, the interior of the ears and the abdomen are white; a black line encircles the jaws and gradually disappears under the lower one. The eyes of the guazouti are black, it has no canine teeth; its mouth, which is very slender, tapers to a muzzle. The horns which, in every case, are not very high and extremely regular, are at first straight; they curve forward in the second year, send forth three antlers, the anterior being placed about two inches above the burr, which is turned a little inward, and the other two at the superior and posterior part of the staff. The horns become bigger as they grow older, but the number of antlers remains the same. We triturate the skin, which should be used fresh and covered with the hair.
First day.—1. Copper taste in the mouth, and a sensation of heat in the throat when taking the drug.

Head dull and heavy. Heat about the legs. At six o’clock, slight pain around the navel, which, however, does not last long. 20. Pricking at the right nasal wing.
