different disease to contend with, and one, if not 

 soon counteracted, will very soon place its victim 

 beyond the reach of all medicinal aid. The dis- 

 charges from the bowels in this disease are of the 

 following nature: Blood, Mucus and Lyjnph, 

 often accompanied with Pus in the last stages of 

 this malady, very fetid and disagreeable to the 

 smell ; attended often with high fever, ardent 

 thirst, and considerable distress on pressure of 

 the abdomen, there being often considerable 

 swelling of the abdomen. 



TREATMENT. 



During the first stage of this disease give, 

 Chloroform oz., Laudanum oz., and Tincture 

 Jamaica Ginger 1 oz. in 1 pint of flax seed tea, 

 repeating the same often as circumstances may 

 require. In aggravated cases take the heads and 

 leaves of poppies and hops and make a strong 

 decoction, with which saturate the horse often and 

 about as hot as it can be borne by the hand. If 

 the horse has much fever give him Tincture of 

 Aconite and Sweet Spirits Nitre in equal parts, 

 tablespoonful every 3 or 4 hours, on the tongue, 

 and give him browned wheat flour, chocolate and 

 flax seed tea as drink, and 'wheat or rye flour 

 gruel to eat, and should he cloy on gruel, give 

 him a little of the same kind of flour mixed with 

 cut hay : and should he grow tired of the foremen 

 tioned drink give him drink of slippery elm 

 (ground) of the shops, or marsh mallows ; and 

 do the very best nursing and dosing, right up to 

 orders all through.
