120 DISEASES Of 



quent attempts to pass the urine, without passing much 

 at any one time; from this fact the owner is usually con- 

 vinced that it is suffering from disease of the kidneys, 

 or bladder ; but although I have made examinations of 

 the bladder in hundreds of such cases, I have never 

 found it distended with urine in but one case, and in 

 that case I drew off the water by the catheter. The 

 animal continued to suffer pain for some time after, thus 

 showing that the bladder distention was not the cause 

 of the pains. In fact, about the only disease of the 

 urinary organs that would cause such severe pains

 disease, give a bottle of DR. HEARD'S MAGIC COLIC MIX- 

 TURE, and the effect will really seem to be magical, for 

 in many instances the pains cease in a few seconds and 

 the animal becomes quiet. If the disease is allowed to

 has become quiet, it is not always safe to treat it as if 

 there had been nothing ailing it; but injections of warm 

 water and soap should be given every hour until the 

 bowels move freely. Allow a moderate quantity of 

 water to drink, but no food for 12 hours, and then only 

 a small quantity. If the pains return, or if they do not 

 cease within an hour or so, give another bottle of the 

 MAGIC MIXTURE, and apply very hot fomentations to the 

 abdomen for 15 minutes, after which rub in a couple of 

 tablespoonfuls of DR. HEARD'S AMERICAN EMBROCATION to 

 prevent the animal being chilled. This will cure all 

 cases of ordinary colic. When it fails, if you will take
