N. B. It looks somewhat barbarous, but I 

 have in cases neglected (until it had resolved into 

 kill or cure at a single dose or application) 

 wrapped the animal in a blanket doubled 3 or 4 

 thicknesses and blistered at once, by pouring 

 boiling water under blanket into the hair estab- 

 lishing counter -irritation and thereby saving the 

 horse. 



FEIT, 



Is a disease resembling very much, Nettle 

 rash in children, and is ascribed to derangement 

 of the digestive organs. 



CAUSES. 



Among its common causes are cold water in 

 excessive draughts; sudden changes to indigesti- 

 ble food, but often comes on without any appar- 

 ent cause occurring more frequently in the 

 spring and fall sometimes prevailing as an epi- 

 zootic. Tumors about the size of small beans, 

 containing watery fluid, are found over the body 

 or limbs, causing intolerable itching, but, con- 

 trary to other skin diseases, in general, are not 

 contagious.
