JAUNDICE THE YELLOWS. 



This can not be considered as a disease of itself, but is due to 

 some disordered condition of the liver. It is caused by the reten- 

 tion and absorption of bile into the blood. It can be detected by 

 looking at the eyes, nose and mouth, when it will be seen that 

 these parts are yellowish, instead of the pink color of health. 

 The urine is dark colored, the dung is of a dirty gray color, and 

 constipation is mostly present. 



Treatment. Give a physic as recommended for inflammation 

 of the liver. Calomel in 2-dram doses may be given every day 

 for three or four days. Feed lightly on light food, as grass, green 

 food, bran, oats, etc. Give our Condition Powders night and 

 morning for two weeks, after the bowels have been thoroughly 

 opened with a physic.
