Pawing of the ground is common to both complaints, but 

 in cases of entanglement of the gut, he desists from pawing. 



Both this and the preceding complaint are induced bj 

 various causes. But if symptoms similar to them are caused 

 by eating green food in too large quantity, a different mode 

 of treatment will be necessary. 



ENTANGLEMENT OF THE BOWELS. 



This is caused by colic, in consequence of the animal 

 throwing himself about while suffering under the pain ot 

 that complaint ; portions of that intestine called the ileum 

 become twisted and knotted, and drawn togetlier with 

 astonishing firmness. There is no remedy for this complaint. 



STONES IN THE INTESTINES. 



Horses that are subject to very frequent attacks of colic 

 pains have usually stony masses in the caecum or colon. 

 Sometimes they are some pounds weight. These, obstruct- 

 ing the passage of tb^s gut, produce colic pains ; and at 

 other times, when exceedingly large, by pressing upon the 

 mucous membrane, produce inflammation. But as yet no 

 distinctly-marked symptoms have been detected by which 

 their presence can be ascertained. Hitherto no certain mode 

 of treatment has been discovered for their removal.
