(Gilchrist) is attributed to exposure to cold nights, aud appears to 

 be associated with derangement of bowels, according to 

 Grilcbrist. Nunu mentions the idea of the Panjabis that it affects 

 riding camels witli galled or sore backs, which are left exposed 

 to the rays of the moon, particularly of the full moon. There is 

 a fixed state of the jaws, drooping of the under lip, pain on pres- 

 sure of the temples, salivation, lachrymatiou, mucous discharge 

 from the nostrils, torpid bowels, and a dull listless state of the 

 animal. The disease is incurable, but Gilchi-ist recommends, as 

 giving relief, a warm purgative with atonic, fomenting the head, 

 and firing over the temples and lower jaw. 



Hewa or Heat Apoplexy is denoted by a preliminary stage in 

 which the animal seems more or less foolish, then without cause 

 he suddenly gets up and tries to bolt, his coat is staring, his ears 

 quivering, and he refuses food and drink; the treatment is as for 

 cerebritis. In ordinary apoplexy (Bhao or Dhudkay) the animal 

 suddenly staggers, falls, and dies. Gilchrist suggests that cold 

 applications to the head, hot applications to the limbs and body, 

 free bleeding, and purging with 2^ drachms of croton seeds may 

 be tried. 



Chapter XI.— THE CUTANEOUS SYSTEM. 



Of all the diseases of camels perhaps the most important 

 as regards practical value of these animals in the field 

 is Mange or Itch. It invariably turns up on service wdien 

 camels are present in any number; it spreads rapidly, since the 

 conditions of service are especially those which give rise to 

 extensive outbreaks of the disorder ; it obstinately resists such 

 treatment as is practicable on active service ; it is an important 

 factor in production of that serious loss of condition, which 

 camels on service invariably suffer from; and, from its very 

 prevalence, it is apt to be so neglected as to get a serious hold 

 on the camel transport before it receives attention from those in 

 charge and proper veterinary treatment. This disease, termed 

 Garab by the Arabs, Kharisk b}^ the natives of India, and Pan 

 on the Indus at Dhera Ismail Khan, is extremely common 

 in all parts of the world where camels are used. The first
