Causes. Its causes are various, but most of them may be in- 

 cluded under any disorders of the liver t.' tf the brain. 



Symptoms. Great thirst, profuse passage of a pale urine, 

 rapid loss of condition, scurvy, unthrifty skin, indigestion, etc., 

 and the presence in the urine of a sweet principle sugar. The 

 best way to detect this is to touch the tip of the tongue with a 

 drop. 



Treatment. This is a disease that has received a great deal of 

 study and investigation, but as yet no reliable remedies have been 

 discovered. Great attention should be paid to the diet of the 

 animal. Give food that is as free of saccharine properties as 

 possible. Some good may be obtained by giving our Condition 

 Powders for two or three weeks in the feed. 



BLOODY UBINE HAEMATURIA. 



As seen in the horse, bloody urine is usually the direct result 

 of some injury across the loins (small of the back) or irritation 

 caused by stones (calculi) in the kidney, bladder, etc. 



Treatment. You must first find out the exact cause. If due 

 to a stone in the bladder you must endeavor to remove it. Give 

 slippery-elm and linseed tea to drink. If the discharge is abund- 

 ant, apply cold water to the loins and keep the animal quiet. 

 Give: 



Sugar of lead 1 dram. 



Water 1 pint. 



Mix, and give as a drench.
