ROE ON THE HORSW. 25 



TREATMENT. 



Administer morning and night the following 

 mixture: Iodide of Potassium 1 drachm, Iodine 

 1 scruple, Carbonate of Soda 4 drachms, warm 

 water pint and good nourishing diet. 



CALCULI OR STONE IN THE BLADDER, 



These deposits may and frequently do exist 

 long before any serious inconvenience is felt by 

 their victim. 



SYMPTOMS. 



Urinate frequently, but in small quantities, 

 and is of a turbid, yellow, or thick, whitish 

 color; the animal often looks around at his 

 sides, paws, kicks its belly, and appears relieved 

 by changing position. 



TREATMENT. 



Administer night and morning, 1 drachm of 

 Muriatic Acid, in a pail of water. Many reme- 

 dies might be proposed for dissolvidg the calculi 

 in the Bladder, but I seriously . question the effi- 

 cacy of any medicinal agent whatever, from the 

 fact that to administer those powerful medicines, 

 in strength sufficient to effect those formations in 

 the bladder, their affect upon the mucus mem- 

 branes would be far more disastrous than the 

 remaining of the calculus, and therefore an oper- 

 ation is the only chance of cure and the sooner it 

 is performed the better for the victim.
